:frown:omg i been so sick with the virus its so sucks been in bed since sunday and seen doc on monday says it a virus i guess put me on antibotic's and said it will have to run its course .right now iam coughing my ass off and coughing up if you will its not fun..i lay down and i keep myself awake from the wheezing iam making ,so i can;t win right now ..i left work early sunday an went staright to bed the pain in my joints have been total hell the worst ever from hips to legs to my feet and the fever omg its been a mess as well ,doc said this is going around kinda hard to stay away from things now days when your working in the public so maybe tomarr will be a better one iam due to go back to work thursday .chow

i think in some cases which is very sad these doctors not all but some this is a job just that nothing less nothing more..they have no feelings for the person and could care less ,you need to pass the word who this person is and hopefully some will go elswhere ..my thoughts . take care

ok its been like 7 wks and i just got my first fill last thursday and today being monday iam still eating soft foods and not much of it either but have lost 20 lbs so far as well not to shabby i must ad. and lots of inches all over not in anyone area which is really kool ...i put on a work shirt in a size med. by mistake and about had a cow i thought it was one of my lg or xlg ones and seen it looked pretty new cked the size and wow it was the new med i had ordered and washed and said i will be needing this one day and wa la its the day :thumbup:SWEETTTTTT. iam wondering if i had to much of a fill and won't be able to eat anything but soft till nx fill ...hummmmmm
