Frustr8

And another mini-thought, try adding a sprig of fresh mint or another herb to water. I hate, loathe and abominate pee-warm water. With a spring of peppermint and /or spearmint I can stand it. Where did I get the fresh mint? Any cook worth her salt has an herb🌱 garden. Bah dump dump.😛

Well,i have another story to tell, honestly not every life experience leads me to,pist,it merely sees that way. Way back,in the Bad Old Days, 34 years ago I had my gall,bladder removed. Now every abdominal operation in that time was open and I was no exception. Most people have what is called a right subcostal, diagonal, about 2-3 mm below the ribcagen not me. I'm so speciall, I had a right paramedian, right to the ringt of the navel, 3 inchs a above, 3 inches below, a nice white fine scar, except slightly wider at the top,where the JP type,drain was. The year before,my,mothers had been removed and when I mentioned I was having symptoms also I was told I was merely envious. When mine was finally removed I had many more stones, pointed instead of round in appearance and they had so abraded the inside of my gall bladder to the point it would have ruptured soon. Jealousy-Shmelousy, I said I was sick! Many years later in May 2015 I awoke in absolute mis3ry and pain. Never had i had such pain and I trust I never shall,again. I had 3 over 9 lb babies, natural and unmedicated, no pain like this! And the vomiting made morning sickness minor league. Told my son to call our local transportation company for they had a wheelchair lift, I had managed to pivot to,my whe3lchair left over from my,last knee replacement and I couldn't stand again. Turned out I had acute pancreatitis. And I was also out of the ordinary. there too. Most cases are caused by wayward gallstones traveling into the pancreatic duct,or alcoholism. Nope neither of those, so it is charted as idiopathic, this is physicanlanguage for," I don't know WTF caused it either!" So I cannot help but think,5he pain of a RnY will,be the difference between jumping into a volcano and a garden party. As the,little mouse said "Bring on that cat, 'I M Ready!"

What is your cost for them ? Hi everybody, I just snuck over from the bypasses,hey don't stomp,me, I'm very nice! Just surfing and lurking over all the postings. I had wondered about GNC, we do have one of them in my benighted portion of Ohio, but maybe this would be better?

And pea and ham soup does sound yummy.😛

To be a little gross, you gently urp up or violently puke, neither a barrel of laughs. Happened,to,me a few,times already in my humble pre-surg life. Well-meaning Aunt: Come on little Frust8, one one more bite for Auntie Myrtle, tried swallow it and in less than 30 seconds dear Auntie Myrtle was wearing it and it didn't look as pretty after it came out as it did going,in. 😖

Right with you FELLOW BROWN EYED PERSON👍😜

True unless we count the "fat little boy that got chose last, the fat little girl who couldn't get into the exclusive clique, tried and didn't make cheerleader, majorette or flag corps, the ones that remember childhood as a series of taunts, one after another, in that case, yes there are children here, that are not as easily seen.😪😪😭😪😪

PS I should have bought stock in GermS and Purell, I use enough of the stuff!😊

Not me, I'm a potential RnY , but the advice is still so so good. Thanx my bari-friend!😜

Sorry to hear about non -coverage for seniors,actually we are WellRipened, you know. Does this hold true for Medicare and Medicaid as well.? I'm on those since WallWorld and I parted company, because of illiness. Afterl 11+ years of service, they decided having me around just made them SICK. A lot of animosity? Well enough to fill a couple 2 oz medicine cups. Don't hate corporate as,much as a few supervisors. You've heard the old country about Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya? I would refine that,slightly-May they get caught in an electric door and then have it jam! Oh and I would also put in the female one who said " Why should we pay you Workmans Compensation when you don't work for us anymore?" State law, MaryAnn, State law! Geeesh!😋

Pink Nova, no shame in that game, you gave it (and gave, and gave) your best shot, no fault it happened the way it did. If God didn't like variety we would all have been created the same. Now there's a happy thought for you. Someday you'll look back,of this and laugh, that is if you can stay out of the porcelain throne room. LOL😜

Maybe people there are dieing for Abe's services?😜

Oh Abe, if I had be there I would have laughed and cried at the same time. And Orchid and Dragons, been there, had that done to me. That's why the other poster and her thigh grab resonates with me. Finally got a tshirt(yeah me and my tshirts!) read I AM NOT MERELY FAT I AM VERY PREGNANT TOO, got it at a Motherhood store in Columbus, 2 or 3 of my cousins asked to borrow it, last one never retuned it. Like you said-My Rotten Relatives! Haven't seen her for years now, but I can just hear her now " What do you want it back for? You're old now" She was a daughter of my first cousin. Don't know if I mentioned it yet but my parents were old by the standard on Daddy's side, 30 and 27, yeah girls on that side got pregnant 15,16 years old so most of my first cousins have kids my age, Daddy was #6or7 in the family tree. Another of my name's for them "Southern. Fried Stupid" well they would have to be if they didn't sense my innate wonderfulness! Well up to face the day, feel like Spring might stay although it got down to 45 last night, fool,furnace clicked back on. Wanted to yell down the register "Hey it's May already, just quit that!" Yeah back to yelling at inanimate objects, sad isn't it? Guess I'll go read some more postings, maybe somonebelse needs a shot,of my humor!

Hey when you get over there, remember all of us that ❤ you,back here. We All gonna,miss you, come back,and visit, if for nothing more than to thumb your nose at us all.💦Surgery breaking up that old gang of mine😮

A very good tip- I'm filing it in my "What To Do" column in my journal for my own surgery!👍😜

Sydney has always been one of my dream locales, call me whimsical but I do want to see the Opera House in person someday 😌

Welcome MrsLingo and ProudFSUMom! Both beautiful dates for surgeries, MrsLingo, yours is on my late grandparents wedding anniversary . They were married on that day in 1904. Weird how certain dates jog your memory.😜

Glad you made,it home safe and relatively sound. Now you need to stsrt,in on the healing and feeling better segment. Congratulations from one 3oh isn't she sweet hundred to another, next stop for us both, twoferville 🏡on our way to onederland. We can do it, sister mine, we can do it👍😜

Happy Early May Everybody! Had me a WTF moment yesterday. Person looked at me and said " I'm glad to see you're wearing,a t-shirt." Yeah but 97% of the time I do except for,cold weather when I wear a sweatshirt. Only,thing in his defense; I was wearing my pink " I. MAKE THIS SHIRT LOOK GOOD" instead of a more subdued or solid color.

But you,know youwere and he noticed?

Yo Yo Girl, did you,purchase them in NY or were they a internet/mail order item?😊

Didn't,i read a poster from Texas that says his surgeon does sleeves as an ambulatory or out-patient procedure? Wasn't too longer ago, if I'm remembering right😊

If you don't mind lowering the protein count Svelte tastes very good, don't even taste the soy in it. I was surprised. I have the French Vanilla but I think Little Green says they make a cappuccino also, probably chocolate, maybe strawberry?😋

Guess those are all the style, got one the other day and I thought,part of it had gone missing!😛👕😛

Missed you Ylime, glad you've come home to,us, we missed you and your postings. Even if your surgery doesn't come until August , you are OURS and we ❤ you honey!😜🌱🌺🌱
