Good Afternoon! It's pretty here, a little brisk and windy but sunny. I just went for a walk and it was nice. Beanie - Girl I have had you on my mind all weekend! I bet you are safely home and snug in bed right now resting. Take care and remember to walk some and sip that liquid! Dianne - I sure hope you hear something soon. I know it is tough not knowing when and sitting and thinking about it all the time. I think I would give them a call. Patty - Too bad they won't grandfather you in on some of that stuff. Heck, I would keep bugging them every day! Eileen - I hope that your fill goes better this time. If not, I would sure say a few things about it! Too many punctures and you are at risk for a leak! If they can't get it right make them do it unde floro. Cindy - How's it going? I bet you are tired from your trip! Hope you had a great time! Zan - Hope you are getting some rest. Little ones can be exhausting at times. Sherry - Hope the job is going better for you this week! Ann - Hello! Well, I am working on another letter I have to submit for the work force. It seems like all I ever do is compose letters lately. I hate doing that too! I have gotten bad about just jotting down a few things and calling it a sentence since I am on here and post so much that when I have to get serious I have to really think! Proper english, proper spelling, YIKES! Going to go, catch you all later!

A Little Worried and Confused! PLEASE HELP!
I agree with all the others, you sound too tight. Please call your doctor and get in right away, you need to start getting some food in you.

Update!!! NOT THE BAND!!!
I agree! Our minds always make us think the worst. We imagine all kinds of things and usually everything is fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I hope it is just a minor thing. Please keep up posted. In the meantime, just keep busy, read, come here and post, go shopping, call a friend. Just keep your mind occupied. Big hugs, and good luck!

Going to work 2 days after surgery?
Everyone is different, so it is really hard to tell. I went back after a few days, but only worked half days and I was very tired. If I had to do it over again, I would take a full week off. I wasn't in any pain, I was a little sore, but just very tired. Take it easy if you go back that soon.
- This is so cool

My first "SLIME" in Cancun!!!
Kim make sure you use something to lubricate that dry stuff, it really helps. When I am somewhere that I can't make a choice I always order some ranch dressing on the side to dip it in.

Good Morning! Yesterday was pretty, a little chilly, but nice. We went riding for a good part of the day. It felt good to be outside enjoying the weather. Sherry - I'm glad you found us! I was wondering where you were! Good luck tomorrow! Eileen - It sounds like you and I do a lot of the same things on the same day. I am doing laundry and cleaning today too, but we will probably go riding too since it is going to be in the 70's. Beanie - Whoooooo Hoooooooo! It is almost here and I am so excited for you! No being quiet today girl, we need to hear how you are holding up! :clock: You'll do fine, just let us know how you are doing when you can. What time do you have to be there? I have another interview on Tuesday with a different company. If they decide they want me, I will have to go to CA for two weeks. We'll see what they have to offer me! I am still in the running for the other jobs, just haven't made up their minds yet. I sure wish someone would make a decision, this waiting is killing me. All the people I talk to from other companies say this is normal. UGH! Well, going to fishing checking some threads, then get some more work done before DH wants to leave. Catch you all later!

How many surgeons did you consult with before choosing THE one?
I only met with one, it was the one that my PCP recommended. When I met with him, I really liked him and his staff. I was there for two and a half hours that day because they were telling me everything about the surgery and what to expect. Even after that, I had to go to the hospital and meet with anyone that would have a part of my surgery. I felt very confident in the whole process and with everyone involved.

Hic-Burps?
Some get hicups when it is time for them to stop eating. That might be your soft signal to stop!
