: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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
