Had a fill last week and on the weekend we laid laminate flooring in the kitchen and I was exhausted. During the night, I felt very rigid in the stomach area and could not sleep. At about midnight, I figured I should just walk around a little to relieve the feeling of tightness. When I got out of bed I felt sick and 'fainty' so I woke my husband so he could be there if I collapsed. I finally vomited or whatever and went back to bed. All night, I felt so uncomfortable. I got up on Sunday and started to finish the flooring and still felt rigid but worked through it. By afternoon late, I felt good enough to play a round of golf in the yard. Short distances only. Monday, I just feel sore in my muscles but fine otherwise. Don't know what caused all the rigidity but glad it stopped. I am back on soft foods and doing well. I don't know if taking full tablets of medicines clogged up the system. But today I took liquid everything that I have in meds. Doing good now. Floor looks marvelous! Only a huge dining room and two hallways to go. Yikes, I hope I survive all this work. Weighed 169 this morning.:confused:

Two months out from surgery. I hope to fit in some pretty things by July 22 for a wedding I will go to. My niece in Minneapolis is getting married at the St. Paul Cathedral. Should be a beautiful wedding and reception.

What would I like to weigh by then?..140 pounds! What are the chances?
