Labor Day Gift Exchange Thank You Thread



Recommended Posts

Okay, no one better feel sorry for me because I have the best substitute stiff anyone could ask for! I had a terrible day today but then I came home (after 15 hours at work) I had a package waiting for me. I opened it to find a Victoria Secret box with a pretty pink ribbon. I immediately could smell the scent of vanilla and I looooooooove vanilla. DrewsLou, my substitute stiff, got me a whole pamper package from Victoria Secret. Hand lotion, make up bag, shower gel, body lotion, the WORKS!!

DrewsLou, you are WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much for the gift! You really made me smile today!

Sorry I've been MIA lately guys, but I was in St.Agustine and I just got back to a computer now.

It sounds like things are working out. I haven't gotten any pm's from any one else saying that they are missing a gift so it sounds like we worked it out mostly. Is there any one else who hasn't gotten their gift? Alison, has your SS pm'ed you??

I was thinking about doing a Halloween exchange, but I think it might be a little close....so I was thinking about doing Thanksgiving instead. What does every one think? Or maybe we should just skip ahead and do a Christmas exchange....

input? ideas?

BTW I hope I'm not hogging the exchanges, if some one else wants to do one let me know and I'll step down. I'm happy to do them, but I don't want any one to think I've made it like "my" thing and no one else can do one.....let me know what u guys think.

Drew...you rock girl!

I'm all for a Halloween exchange. We could give people 2 -3 weeks to sign up and that would still allow plenty of time for shipping. JMO. We love Halloween at our house. The boys make it so much fun.

K@t did a wonderful thing by having Secret Stiffies. DREWS, you are the best!! I understand that things come up, but this was inexcusable. Princess, glad you got your gift on a day when you needed it the most.

I hope all those missing gifts get their packages soon.

And K@t.... I sooooo appreciate you taking the time to set these exchanges up! I know it must be time consuming and you are awesome! I don't think you are "hogging" anything!

If you have sent your gift and you haven't seen a thank you posted PLEASE pm me so I can check in with your SS. And as of right now 2 people (Alison and Texas Princess) haven't gotten their gifts. Any one else????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
