Be safe, Mami...we worry about you.

They saved my life when I had a weird heart anomaly with an aortic aneurysm...only five doctors in the country had experience, and two of them were at froedert...after a twelve hour surgery, I came out ok....they are my go to whenever it absolutely needs to be cured.

Froedert rules!

Got a pretty new bra in 40 DD...used to be a 48 F! It has straps that don't look like they could haul a freight train! My husband loves it.

I use NOW foods unflavored, it's better.for me it's the smell. But I need the protein, so I soldier on. Don't give up...somehow we all need to get our protein in, and it's so hard to do with food alone.

Chicken breast poached in white wine, quinoa cooked in chicken stock,, Mediterranean vegetable.

Follow your doctors protocol...are you on puree yet?

Just found out something about the ulcer I'm recovering from. evidently, I was put on a drug that reacts with the blood thinner, Plavix. The doctor didn't catch that the drug interaction could cause greatly increased risk of excess bleeding. This almost killed me. Don't get me wrong, I was smoking every once in awhile...this caused the ulcer, but the combination of these two drugs made me bleed out. Just a word to the wise....look up every drug you're prescribed and check drug interactions. Doctors can miss so much!

Broke down and smoked 1/2 a cig yesterday..crap! Now I have to go through the crazy first days all over again...so disappointed in myself. I may see a hypnotist...I feel totally taken over by this addiction. Very demoralized today.

I'm sooo sorry for your loss...I still mourn the boxer I lost in 2010... I miss him all the time.. It gets easier with time ... You did an incredibly hard, unselfish thing. Your dog will always love you.

How's everyone doing on the smoking, or rather, not smoking?

I felt like this when I went shopping the other day in the regular section...like people were asking themselves, " Why is SHE shopping in this section?" Then I realized I was in my head...people don't care, I'm not that important. I think it takes awhile for our heads to match our new bodies. Freaky stuff.
