How long does it take stitches to heal
I would probably say about 2 weeks they were pretty good, but my doctor didn't allow me to take a bath till about 4 or 5 wks out.

April chat for NJ!!!!!
Good Morning Y'all! Whoooooo Hoooooo Kat! Doing the "Happy Dance" for you!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: You have done awsome with your band! Sherry - I would march right over there and bitch like crazy! If they don't see your way of doing things then go to the Superintendent of schools. That is crazy! He is willing to come to class and participate any way he can and for them to tell him he can't is just not right! Tell them you are contacting the news too! Heck, us Texas gals will come up there and whip their butts if they don't see your side of it! Deb - My doctor told me protein had nothing to do with the hair loss. He said it was hormones and there isn't much you can do about it. If you feel, it is growing in as fast as it is falling out. I lost a lot of mine, it really got thin, but it does grow back pretty fast. You won't go bald even if you think you are going to! Beanie - Have you heard anymore from the job? Where is everyone at? We had some pretty rough storms last night (most of it missed us by a thin hair) did everyone survive it? I hope y'all didn't get any damage from it. Well, gotta run, everyone have a great day!

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Use a heating pad on your shoulder, it worked wonders for mine when I had it. It was about the only thing that really helped me! Good luck!

Think I may be too tight
I couldn't agree with you more Michelle, it never pays to be too tight. I have tightened up after 3-4 weeks after my fills too. Be safe, go get a small amount taken out.

Today's the day!
Good Luck and let us know how you did when you get a chance! :clap2: :clap2:

Meds - Is There Anyone Out There???
I pretty much just take mine unless they are huge, then I cut them with a pill cutter and take them in pieces.

Can't hold down solids, what do I do?
Once you PB you need to go on liquids for at least 24 hours. If you haven't done that, maybe it will take care of the problem. Good Luck!

April chat for NJ!!!!!
Good Morning Y'all! I had to laugh at your stories! Too Funny! I've got one too! We were camping at the lake, we used to have a 27 ft. trailer parked in an area with no electricty or running water. I also had a brother up there and a friend with their own trailers. Well, one night I kept hearing this banging against my bed in the trailer (outside), and I kept telling DH to get up and see what it was. Well, I couldn't get him up and this went on for quite some time. I finally went out to see what it was with a flash light. Yup, it was a possus up on our table cleaning up the dirty dishes we left out. We usually do dishes before bedtime, but everyone was wiped out so we left them for morning. I shined the light in his eyes and he just looked at me for a minute and went back to eating. I beat the table and everything and he was there to stay. I finally just went back inside and left him alone. Beanie - Good luck with the job! I work close to home and I love it! You'll probably make up the difference in pay with gas! Patty - Sure I'll adopt you!:girl_hug: Chrispy - Take your sweet time, you have all the time in the world to meet that "special" one. Kat - Your yard sounds beautiful. I have always wanted some fruit trees in the yard but there isn't any more room in our yard for more trees. Darcy - I know you have some critter stories to tell! Hope your weekend was nice! Pat - Get thee back here! :D Mandy - How is your friend doing? Sherry - How you doing sweetie? Hope your luck has changed some! Eileen - I hope the job gets better and you can visit every day. We miss you! Deb - Hows everything going? Hope all is well now and things get back to normal. Mr. Pat - Are you all healed up yet? I know I am missing some, but do have to run and get dressed now. Everyone have a great day!
