My life is like a box of Chocolates



Recommended Posts

OK here is the run down. No wonder I am so tired and my back is out. WHEW!!

First, my mother is having surgery on the 30th to remove a diseased portion of her colon due to diverticulitis.

Second, I am going to Tucson on the 31st for a Gem and Bead show for my Jewelry Biz.

Third, I have a daughter that is delivering her second child and my 7th grandchild on the 24th

Fourth, I just found out that my youngest daughter, who got married June of 04, is pregnant and most likely due in Sept.

SO I have lots going on in just the FIRST month of 2006. :omg:

Plus I am dealing with the loss of the band and changing my eating habits. SIGH!!

Calgon take me to the Islands and give me a chocolate bath. NOW!!

There is something about those September births!!! :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

My Anne Marie was due on my mom's day - September 15th. But we planned the c-section the day before. So, for our family party I get a big cake and have "Happy Birthday MeMe and Anne Marie". Very special!

So, how awesome would it be if the next bebe would be on (or near) YOUR birthday?!

Okay, penni, breathe!

Breathe while you can, and remember to keep breathing even when you don't have time for it!

How many kids do you have? Sounds like you had rabbits intead of children - just kidding!! Your mom has lots of "strangers" prayers (which are better than friend prayers IMHO), so she is being looked out for!

Enjoy the bead expo, and take some time while you are away for a mani-pedicure!! The closest thing to a chocolate bath!

Hang in there!

breath I must remember to breath. Thanks for the reminder.

I have 4 children. Three daughters and one son. My son is the youngest and he is 18 and graduates this year from High School.

I got all emotional last night and was talking with John and said. "All my baby girls are having babies." THen I just busted out crying. Then I laughed at myself for being so emotional. My daughter that is due any minute called and instead of saying HI she said "So do you feel really old now?" I just love the relationship I have with all my kids. I just wished we lived closer to each other.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
