CONNIE ...

I don't eat M&M's - not today, dammit. How are you sweetheart?

Finally among the living. I got the bug that was going around and was wiped out. Doctor put me on complete bed rest for a week. I wasn't allowed to be up and around so my food was what was available in the house or what people brought. I'm so afraid to get back on the scale after a week of no movement. Somewhere along the way, I must have tweaked my back because it's even worse than before. Believe it or not, it hurts to fart. I have an MRI tomorrow and see a nuerosurgeon after that. They doubled the meds that cause weight gain. Yippee. The meds that I'm on are the only thing that come close to controlling the pain, but the trade off of gaining weight makes it almost worth being in pain. I so hate this feeling of my weight creeping up no matter what I do. Other than that, things are fine. Trying to catch up on life and work. Being out of it for a week leaves lots to be done. I'm glad you don't eat M&Ms and I'm really glad that you found out what was going on with your stoma. You've always been such an advocate for your own health and I'm proud of yo. Hugs, Connie

Sorry to hear you have been so sick. Read my other post was in AZ for a few, but am back in San Diego. Take care & don't work too hard!! Ladybug Marilyn

You've had a really tough time of it these past few months. You're in my head and my heart. Be well, Connie. Reenie
