But With Physical Therapy he is now walking and talking non stop. To this day there is no reason what and why it happend. I just thank the Lord that he is doing fine.

You should not be vacuming or do anything Strenous. Like Estela says take it easy and get rested. No picking up the kids (are they walking?). With each passing day you should get better. How are you doing on your intake of water and Protien???

Funny, Embarrassing, Humiliating or Painful?
WOW at least you had access to the bathroom. I really need to stay away from chicken it seems that is usually what makes me PB. When we went to visit my Aunt in Tahoka last month they made a big ole BB for us well here I am eating just the tinest of what they had when all of a sudden I felt the tightness in my chest I just knew that I had to go to the bathroom and at the same time my cousin bless his heart is putting down desert in front of me a big cone and icecream topped with fruit I told him I was to full at the same time thinking I needed the bathroom so I excused myself no sooner shut the door and up it came just made it to the toilet. Anyway after that I was full no longer and when I got back to the table Ice Cream counted as liquid since it was melting.

I really need your help!!!

Joke Thread
Subject: Fw: Anger Management: > Anger Management: When I have the occasional bad day and need to >take it out on someone, I don't take it out on my loved ones anymore... > I got the idea one day when I was sitting at my desk and remembered a >phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A >man answered, saying, "Hello." I politely said, "This is Chris. May I >please speak with Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on >me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. I tracked down Robin's >correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of >her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' >number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an >asshole!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' >next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I >was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're >an asshole!" It always cheered me up. When Caller ID came to our area, >I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling >would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John >Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're >interested in the Caller ID program?" He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the >phone down. I quickly called him back and >said, "That's because you're an asshole!" One day I was at the store, >getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me >off and pulled into the spot I had patiently >waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. >The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I >wrote down his number. A couple of days later, right after calling the >first asshole, (I had his number on speed dial ), I thought I had better >call the BMW asshole, too. I >said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?" "Yes, it is." >"Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th >Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front." > "What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Don Hansen," he said. > "When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home >every evening after five." "Listen, Don, can I tell you >something?" "Yes?" "Don, you're an asshole." Then I >hung up, and added his number to >my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two >assholes to call. But after >several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. >So, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1. "Hello." "You're an >asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.) "Are you still there?" he >asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling >me," he screamed. "Make me," I said. "Who are you?" he >asked. "My name is Don Hansen." "Yeah? Where do you >live?" "Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, >with my >black Beamer parked in front." He said, "I'm coming over right >now, Don. And you had better start >saying your prayers." I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, >asshole." Then I called Asshole #2. "Hello?" he said. > "Hello, asshole," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out >who you are!" "You'll what?" I said. "I'll kick your >ass," he exclaimed. I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your >chance. I'm coming over right now." Then I hung up and immediately >called the police, saying that I lived at1802 West 34th Street, and that I >was on my way over there to kill my gay >lover. Then I called Channel 2 News about the gang war going down on >West 34th Street. I quickly got into my car and headed over to >34th street. There I >saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad >cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew. NOW, I feel better. >This anger management stuff really works! See Ya!

partners reactions
Mine did not know what the band was but I really just said I am doing this for me and I supported you when you had your heart Surgery now it is my time. I did and do include him in the pre and post op process of what I am going through so that he feels he is part of my journey. That way he really does not have to feel left out.

Me again I need your advice!!!
Good Idea for you to go slow on your recent fill. I myself do a mixture of milk and 100% whey 23 grams of Protein but I am thinking of adding already made to my grocery list since I hate to take the time to mix it.. What is exactly on Solids are you eating that are causing you to PB?? Hope you do not have to be unfilled just hang in there and see if you loosen up a bit.
