Welcome all!!!! The more the merrier.

My scale hasn't been cooperating and I had a bit of a meltdown today. (I found the vanilla ice cream. :thumbup: )

Onward to tomorrow!

Yes, it is considered paid the year you incur the debt. (Same as if you put a charitable contribution on your credit card on 12/31, that is a deductible contribution for that year.)

The following quote is from the IRS Pub 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, 2008

If you use a credit card, include medical expenses you charge to your credit card in the year the charge is made, not when you actually pay the amount charged.

Meant to add... hope your MRSA clears up soon.

I had a postponement to my surgery too. I was scheduled for mid-June but developed a rash on the back of my leg and in my groin area. Two days before surgery the dermatologist determined the groin rash was a raging yeast-type infection. She did not advise surgery at the time so I had to postpone for a month. While I was disappointed, it all worked out.

Your the second person that mentioned this MRSA??? Another person mentioned it on the incisions. What is it from?

MRSA is a highly "-cillan" resistant staph (bacterial) infection. Very bad stuff.

I am just going to have to figure out what I need to do to get it to look right. I did something wrong somewhere.

RobinAnn... any suggestions???

I assume you mean the rounding and the centering?

I'd choose all the blue blocks from Laptastic down (shift and mouseclick) and then click on the "align" icon. Choose "center". Keeping those same fields chosen, click on the "123" icon and choose "two decimals".

I've joined the challenge. Since Halloween is a month away I'm going to shoot for 10 pounds.

I don't mind AT ALL. See your PMs.

I must confess..... I actually stole this format from another thread :scared2:

Please give me feedback, positive :thumbup: or negative.

Here is the link to it.

I should have had my second fill today but had to reschedule due to a conflict with my husband's work travel (I have to travel across the state for my fills).

I'm rescheduled for next Thursday (the 24th) and I really need it. I had some restriction until three days ago and it was like the floodgates of hunger were released. Struggling mightily this week. Next Thursday can't get here soon enough. I've only lost 16 pounds since surgery, but it's better than gaining, that's for sure.

I'm amazed at the surgeons that prescribe post-surgery pain meds in pill form... just amazed.

As for regular pills, my surgeon says crush them always. I take four tiny pills for my blood pressure daily and I've been dutifully crushing them for two months. I grind them up, dump them into my hand, then mouth, then wash them down with iced tea or Crystal Light.

Any new joiners....

Just add yourself at the end of the list. I'll re-sort as needed.

Hey guys, just to let you all know,

I sorted the spreadsheet by user name so that it is now alphabetical. No need to mark your name in a special color just to find it. (If everyone colors their name, then they'll all be hard to find! :wink: )

Your name should be there, alphabetically, with numbers first.

Linky-doo

I am in :thumbup: I just need to update my Halloween ticker to the Turkey Day Challenge. :frown:

I added my information to the spreadsheet but it did not calculate the information just FYI.

Looking forward to losing with everyone :seeya:

I'll take a look at the spreadsheet and fix it.

I'm in!!! I put my info in the spreadsheet and froze the first two rows so you could scroll down the spreadsheet and still see the column headings. Hope you don't mind. :blushing: Good luck everyone!

Wonderful.... collaboration at its best.

I was banded on Wednesday, July 22 and was back to my desk job on Monday, July 27. I did have a month of medical leave from my duties as a voluteer EMT.

The spreadsheet seems to be okay. I scanned all the edits and nothing seemed out of line. I've also backed up a copy of the spreadsheet as it is right now in case it gets messed up. (We can always revert to an earlier version if it gets too messed up.)

Column I is your banded date (if you want to provide it). I have Thanksgiving Day in Column J so that the calculation works in Column H. You don't need to put anything in Column J.

glammaw... I moved your data to line 30.
