:biggrin1: Aww, it all depends on one's attitude. These days my big trips are on the subway but I find them interesting. I am sure that your life is very interesting. I know nothing about hospitals and so I find 'em fascinating!:)

Well, there heavily into playing house. They say she's working hard at school, so as long as she's safe and working hard at school, then I guess it's okay. I would prefer her to be at home, but, my options are limited.:phanvan . Thanks for asking.:)

It's a good thing that she is continuing to go to school. This means that you raised her right.

That is one good thing in her favour Cloe, she did not drop out of school, and she does know that you are there for her. It is always good keep on good terms, maybe not with him but with your daughter.

My husband and i never liked my oldest daughter's second husband, we had a hard time accepting him, but you know what he turned out to be okay, at least okay enough for us to tolerate him for my daughter's sake.

Things will work out for the best Cloe. Sending lots of hugs your way.:hug: :hug: :hug:

*week from hell*

First of all I'm sorry I havent been around this week, I have been pretty sick. I went to hospital on Monday in pain. They diagnosed me with back pain, and sent me home with painkillers and a anti-inflammatory. I told them I didnt think it was my back, but they didnt listen. Spent the whole week in bed, with fever and chills, didnt eat anything, it was awful. Finally got in to my own doc on Friday, she went nuts. Apparrently I have a massive kidney infection and she's almost positive kidney stones as well. She said she's never seen urine so bad. So, she put me on proper meds. She couldnt believe that they mis-diagnosed me soo badly. Anyway, I'm feeling better today, thank goodness!! I was going mental, or mentalier(?). It was quite funny though, going through the hospital scene with the lapband. I had to keep explaining what it was. I forgot to mention, that when I arrived at the hospital, the pain was so bad I was throwing up. So first thing out of my mouth was 'stop the nasausa', then had to explain why. It was different, surprisingly positive actually.

So..................anybody miss me?

Yep, I missed you. By the way, I've heard that kidney stones hurt like hell!!!! My ex-husband's wife has just had one removed. She almost died from the infection it caused. On a lighter note, it sounds like a sure fire way to lose weight.

Oh wow... I was wondering what was going on with you, but figured you'd let us know when you could! I don't envy you, but I hope you're getting better!

Stupid question, but... don't you have to pee 'em out (if they're not too big)? I actually read a post from someone here (on LBT)who had the same thing, and described the exerting of the stones, and how 'something no bigger than a grain of sand' can cause so much pain comin' out."

*wags finger at Cloe* Have you been drinking enough Water? Ever since I read that lady's post, and she said it was probably because she wasn't drinking enough water, I've been scared!

p.s. I missed you!

Holy smokes, Chloe, what on ordeal. A kidney infection can be dangerous so I'm glad you're getting proper care.

About your first trip to the hospital, however, I'm still reeling from that one. What the hell kind of diagnosis is "back pain"???? That's not a diagnosis. Are they all idiots in there? It's like having a nail in your head and getting a diagnosis of "headache". I see this kind of thing all the time and it drives me ballistic. (Can you tell?)

Anyway, take good care of yourself and get well quickly.

Holy crap Cloe. :) I'm sorry you have been so ill. What are they going to do about the stones? do you need surgerY??? Now, are you feeling better just cuz of the painkillers? or do you think you've licked the infection. My bro in law had stones, and it wasn't pleasant.

Welcome back Cloe, glad you're feeling better. I was worried about you. I'm with Devana, there's no excuse for such stupidity being misdiagnosed. Glad your family Doc was on the ball. And yes, I missed you.

You guys are are sooo swell. I am feeling much better, but weak from lying around. I still have to go for an ultrasound, but the meds are working for now.

Mandi - :) I really don't think I was drinking enough Water. But I ABSOLUTELY will be now!!!!

Ya, I did lose 2 pounds this week, but I shoulda lose 10!!! of course.

The real dumb thing about the hospital was that I told them I think it might be my kidneys when I first got there.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
