Kat- that explains the issues I was having too. I drank HOT tea with honey in it and that must have fixed the sinus part...then I had the popsicles and that must have helped with the fill swelling. Hmmm, this is really helpful info to have!! Tell Rick I said thanks for mailing off the box.

Michelle-where can I get that stuff Jolen?

Tracy-sorry your weekend is not panning out the way you had hoped! What a bummer!

Terri-try to make your consult with dr j lo on the 28th of april around 1 PM, ok?! :smile:

have a great evening everyone. HEY, was it just me or did Survivor not come on last night?

Hugs~~

Kat~ So glad to hear you are on the mend. I did get a bit 'xcited that you might fly into San Diego...only 2 hours away. I am so glad you are gonna be ok (still praying for you).

TracyK~ Ready for the fancy schmancy name brand...Sally Hansen! I really like this brand (I've had no probs) and it comes w/ some aloe cream after to "soothe" and it works.

Gonna relax w/ Susanne's parents tonight and then in the morning at the crack of "ooooooo my it is early" we are going to Susanne's house in Los Alamitos to get the last of her stuff! We'll be home early afternoon!

Have a great night!

PS...I popped over to Second Life and sure enough...I am still in Sintimacy. I'll follow your advice Laura as soon as I can!

[Daisalana 33]

LOL Pam.. you won't move until you move yourself :smile: SL was having some issues earlier, I couldn't log in, they had some database problem (very common). It goes down at least once a week. I guess it's back up if you can get in!

So glad you're feeling better Kat!!!

Cooking dinner and realized how low I am on cooking stuff and all the rotten/expired stuff. Argh, feels like I just went shopping. Texted my mom to see if she wants to go with me.

[mdrai 3]

Kat... glad you are doing better!

TracyK... anywhere... grocery store, wal-mart, target... in pharmacy area w/other face creams, etc (usually on a bottom shelf... dark blue-green box w/white lettering/edging)... NOT that I've ever noticed... ho hum...:smile:

New question... anyone have any experience w/physical "complusions" or "rituals" like if you tap one finger twice, you HAVE to tap the same finger on the other hand twice, also? Or if you turn on a light switch w/one hand, you have to turn it off w/the other? Stuff like that???

[Daisalana 33]

I told DH this one, he doesn't believe me. I am OCD with counting syllables. When I'm watching a movie or tv, or sometimes listening to people talk, I am counting the syllables in my head.. And I use my fingers to make patterns with it, and I repeat the patterns to make a logical pattern with it.. derrr. I don't tell many people about this, makes me sounds crazy!

Anyone else get nauseated from the band? It happened again tonight, only like the 4th time since banding.. where I actually get struck with nausea and vomit.. not pb. I asked my band nurse about it around December and she said I probably just filled the pouch up and it wanted to get rid of it, but I've 'filled the pouch up' a million times since banding, and only 4 times I got nausea.. just checking if anyone else has had that happen.

Michelle.. I LIVE with an Obsessive Compulsive guy. Everything has to be even numbers. Can't eat just one jelly bean....has to be two. Can't leave the house without checking everything over and over and over and over. He's on meds now and it's much better, but it used to be the joke of the family watching Dad/Bobster trying to leave for vacation.

Woooo Hoooooooooo Glad you're back in the land of the living, Kat!!! Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief! Thank goodness for your Uncle and his friend.

Fixed a crock pot full of ribs today and they actually came out pretty good. Was kind of surprized. Easy enough to do also.

I've had a lot of PB'ing episodes, but never any nausea or any real vomit. Just the slimeballs that let me know I have a band and I'm not paying attention to it!

[Kat817 19]

Well----another cup of hot tea, and a small bowl of Soup down. Feels like it is sitting there a bit confused!! But that is pretty normal, for my food to take awhile....oh yeah that IS the goal!!!!

Anyway, Rick is totally relieved---I keep telling him---ME TOO!!!

Every muscle in my body hurts from the shakingI did yesterday when I was freezing with the fever....it is hard to move around today!!!

If I get in bed on one side, I have to get out on the same side.

I used to HAVE to use one certain fork---I just liked it, the tines were smaller---I would wash it up between meals so I would have it!!! I am moving on from it now!!!

When I was first pregnant, and did the La Maze classed, they taught us a breathing techinque to calm yourself in the very early stages of labor---breathing very concentratedly in to a count of 5 and out to a count of 5. I still do that anytime I am stressed---or even when I am working out and need to be sure I am breathing, not holding my breath, I will do it to a count of 5!!

LOL---idiosyncrasies (sp?)----yep I am just as wierd!!!

Rick has wierd ones, that are old wives tales passed on from his parents!!! No walking in one shoe or you will have bad luck---a horror with me trying on shoes!!!

No rocking a rocking chair with no one sitting in it, or you have bad luck.....

All kinds, he is slowly being less influenced by them, much to his Mothers horror!!!

LOL---going to go to bed, I am exhausted!!!

Thanks my friends for always being there for me!

Uhm.. just something funny.

What I got you guys for the V trip, I ordered 2 different kinds of something similar. One of them ends up bein a LOT fancier than the other (didn't think it was suppose to be). So I went to their website to figure out what I got and why it was so fancier.. looks like they had an 'oops' on their website, and the item they gave me was suppose to be 6x more expensive (it now is)... I guess it'll make more sense when you guys see what I'm talking about.. I was going to go order everyone else the same thing so everyone's looks the same.. but the new price is outrageous, so.. the thought was there!!

I want one of the expensive ones. :w00t:

Kat- that explains the issues I was having too. I drank HOT tea with honey in it and that must have fixed the sinus part...then I had the popsicles and that must have helped with the fill swelling. Hmmm, this is really helpful info to have!!

.......Terri-try to make your consult with dr j lo on the 28th of april around 1 PM, ok?! :eek:

Yes, that IS good info, isn't it!?

Oh, that would be so cool to get our PS consults on the same day!!! It'd be extra-cool if we could take a 1/2 day off and do lunch, etc....

Kat, hang in there!!!

Just got home and am still not happy over the fill or lack of. I just wish there was someplace I could turn.

Can you go to Fill Centers? Only doing fills one day a week is freakin' ridiculous. My doc has a 2 nurses that do fills....and one dedicated to doing ONLY fills all day, every day. Getting an appt. is never a problem at all....and he's got a zillion patients.

New question... anyone have any experience w/physical "complusions" or "rituals" like if you tap one finger twice, you HAVE to tap the same finger on the other hand twice, also? Or if you turn on a light switch w/one hand, you have to turn it off w/the other? Stuff like that???

I have only one....I MUST have a bowl of ice cream every night.

I told DH this one, he doesn't believe me. I am OCD with counting syllables. When I'm watching a movie or tv, or sometimes listening to people talk, I am counting the syllables in my head.. And I use my fingers to make patterns with it, and I repeat the patterns to make a logical pattern with it.. derrr. I don't tell many people about this, makes me sounds crazy!

Yes, Laura...that does make you sound crazy. (j/k!!!) It also makes you sound VERY busy!!! What it tells me is that you have a very sharp mind!! I could never keep up with all that 'data'!! I've always been fascinated with OC behaviors.... they're pretty harmless unless they disrupt your life (kinda like the Bobster's). My friend's daughter can't get thru her homework because everything has to look so perfect....it takes her hours and hours. Test day requires all kinds of special accommodations for her. But the child is freakin' brilliant. Off the charts.

Kat, I can't tell you how happy I am that you're better. We were out to dinner last night for DH's birthday, and as I was PBing my $40 dinner into the toilet I was thinking of you!! LOL :teeth_smile: Seriously, though, .... I was wondering where you were at the moment and if you were feeling any better....whether you had to drive 6 hours or were in the hospital somewhere... :sad:

Jewelry-making day today!! I have two more "orders"!!! Only 4,584 more orders and I might pay for all the supplies I have, then start making a profit! :rolleyes2:
