Frustr8

A family member brought a brussel sprout and bacon cassarole to one of our dinners, it was very good but she died before the next get together so I never did get the recipe for it.

That does happen, that's why life is a trial and error situation. I finally went to powder because Wal-Mart cut Premier Protein back to vanilla and chocolate in my town.

Well mice do have short fur, cats don't always, just living up to your pen name, I'm sure we will once again be thick of fur. I worry because I am a redhead, we have fewer hairs per square inch in the first place. Hope it won't progress until I can comb it with a washcloth!???

I know I have had it also, got hives from playing in the snow when I was a small Frustr8.

Doctors in the US and Canada push Milk of Magnesia like it was the Golden Grail. My particular Primary care loves to advise Miralax that and prednisone, a wonder I haven't developed Bushings from it.

I know they always say sm9king delays healing, never heard marijuana would be exempt from that.?

I wonder if some facilities pump the gas back out because I never had gas pain and my tummy was not one bit bigger than when I went in. Odd, isn't it?

Definately, it's normal to feel both ways at once. And I started thinking just the other day, am I going to starve? But my Doctor assures me I'm doing just fine, although my path is a little skewed compared with many of you, I also will make it THERE!

@ patanna, we all are learners along this path to victory, we try until we find what works for each of us. A lot of trials, some errors, but we shall all make it through!

Rosacea is also called a Celtic curse, fair-skinned , Irish or Scots heritage, although I am not certain Scandinavians escaped it. And also remember the Vikings went a sailing a lot, if you go back far ENOUGH there are more than a few drops?in the Irish and Scots anyway. I do have a mildish case myself , and we all know how cute I am, well I am planning to be cute for my age pretty soon!???

kat410, i suspect you and I will be travelling on the same bell curve, similar start and my surgeon and I suspect it will take me 18 instead of 12 months to make MY GOAL. If this is true I will be happy also. Hard-one victories often are the sweetest.????

Hadn't thought of it, but wouldn't it be awful to be in a Government Witness Program and have something like this "out" you. They would know who you used to be.

But we love you anyway, mousecat88 and don't give up all hope, you could snap back yet!

OMG what a nasty thing to happen, is there anyone in the Delmarva area taking his patients?

And alas, the only way I will get skin removal is if they would accept pictures of breakdown, fungal infections. Are pictures going to help?

Well Welcome Rene, I think you are one of the first, if not the absolute, February 2019 sleever. And it won't be long before others join you! May your future surgery help you towards a Healthier Life!?

THANK YOU VIKING, WE SOMETIMES NEED A POSITIVE REAFFIRMATION SOMETIMES.

They should be tied to their chairs and forced to watch CHRISTMAS VACATION.Remember what happened to Clark Griswold? He was planning on a Money Bonus, he got a subscription to Fruit of the Month Club.

Wellesse is not That thick, tastes like orange sherbet,and I take Spring Valley prenatal vitamins from Wal-Mart but Iodine is next to bottom ingredient on the label.

Congratulations and I bet you're excited too!

Probably just to prove he can , an ego trip, if ever I heard one.

Do you want my testimony? it doesn't feel like the ulcers, that's right. I try to eat in the approved manner, small spoonfuls of food, not an excessive amount. It feels like Precious rears up like an angry little fist, then I burp, hiccup/belch and then everything comes pouring back up, and often when you're sure there can't be anymore, she dry-heaves . foamy slimes and then afterwards it hurts for a while like someone punched you there hard as they could. And I swear it FEELS like she was placed on top of my diaphragm instead of in the abdomen. I sit there rubbing her through my skin or with my arms splinting her for protection. it's like she is a plastic bottle with a pinhole that slowly drains liquids out. But most purees and softs, she will not accept them. And I am worried she never will. My surgeon assures me once things settle down and stop being swollen I'll be okay. In the meantime keep on with vitamins, minerals and meds, and the TPN will keep me from malnorishment. I do keep trying to take soup, broth, protein shakes by mouth, but often I feel like I'm pounding my head against a brick wall. And I am trying to keep other fluids going in, can't tell if it's working because the fluid in my feeding keeps my urine flowing anyway. And I try to be bright and cheery on here, but it hurts when my surgery twins are so much farther than me and the "I Ate This "postings bring me to tears. And ??I think you and I are keeping Carafate in business, just us 2. And I've lost count how many Zofran bottles I've emptied.

How about calcium or magnesium levels?

Have you ever had rosacea or lupus? Those 2 things come to mind for me.

Well at least you're hanging out with Lawrence of Arabia. Worse things to dream, worse places to be. Your pouch will demand respect, Precious still keeps me pistol-whipped and she's now more than 3 months old, 3 months-15 days to be exact. Like Rumpole of the Bailey " she is who must be obeyed", and when all else fails its back to the one-ounce cups for me!
