I am baaaackkkkk

HEllo WLS friends... I am so sorry that I have not been on all summer. Missed the vegas trip too. I was in an auto accident July 1. Had 7 ribs injured broken fractured dislocated a punctured lung and fractured my thoracic spine in 3 places. I was on top of the world..till that night. Was on a date- he made a left on a yellow and we were hit on the passenger side - I took all impact. Happy To be ALIVE! Anywhoo I was looking at some of the updates awesome progress.. Marlize- Andrea you look fabulous.... I am hoping to post new pics this week. I have not been in the best of pic friendly moods over the summer. Finally feeling a bit better. PT three times a week and some walking. Dieting took a dip- the worse part is with this surgery we cannot take too many anti-inflammatories with out double dosing on Prilosix(?), I have been managing the pain with rest- and occssional loritab or tylenol. I do not want to ruin my new tummy. I hit the 106lbs loss mark in June... SIze 10-12 shirts a large. Still want to lose about 20lbs... But right now still have to recoup... Please fill me in on what I have missed... I missed you all. Pattiann

What a bummer of a summer re: the accident. Glad you are back and it does sound like you are getting better. What you missed? The biggest thing is folks getting active in their new lives, doing things, so they check in and post, but not as often as they used to. Maybe with winter coming there will be more computer time for some of them. Tim is looking for a new job and continues working on his house. Peter has a different job, working with computers in the schools. Nan is starting a new business venture with podcasting. Both Mo and Malibu are getting into their busy seasons for party planning (Mo) and decorating (Malibu). Jennifer is back teaching. And everybody, Nickie, Lisa, Andrea, Marlize, Sharon, Amy, Tammy, Shannan, Allecia, Ashley, Kim, and all the rest are looking oh so hot and sexy . Many have slowed down on their loss and several are at goal. Glad you are back and hope to hear more from you. -Pam

Pattiann- That is so horrible! I am glad you are doing better, and are recovering. hugs to you honey.

Oh my lord........girl, you have been through it! That's just awful, and I'm so glad that you are getting better. It's a long road, but sounds like you have come a long way! I will pray that you continue to improve and get your life back! Keep posting! HUGS Kimberly

First of all, WELCOME BACK!! It's good to hear from you. Now, OMG , I'm so sorry!!! What a terrible thing to have happened! Thank goodness you're alive! Sounds like you are starting to feel better and get back into the swing of things. That must feel like such a relief. I'm so very sorry this happened. Wow. Congrats on the 160 loss! You go girl! That's fabulous and you'll reach your goal. Concentrate on getting well, though. The great thing about this tool is we physically can't eat like we used to, so everything you've done won't go to waste by making a few not-so-perfect choices. No worries; just get healthy first! You poor thing! Take care and I'm thinking of you! Lisa
