Whoever wrote that message to you needs to get over their own self. I can't believe someone would be that rude to you. I love your pictures and DON'T YOU DARE stop posting them.
You are a real person. You've done great and I'm very proud of you.

Topic: Update
Well, I'm home from work again. I quickly figured out that working that awful job was what was making me sick. I went back to work the day after my birthday so I wouldn't be working in that awful place with those awful people on my birthday. I had a happy 52nd and went back to the dungeon on 11/15. I worked 4 hours on the 15th, 4 hours on the 16th and 4 hours on the 20th. The evening of the 20th, I started having chest pains and went to the ER. They checked all my heart enzymes and EKG and all was good, so they sent me home. It happened again 2 hours later and back to the ER I went. They gave me a spray of nitro under my tongue and the pain went away, so they figured it was cardiac-related. They sent me home with nitro and told me to show up the next morning for a treadmill test.
Treadmill day: In my sweats and sneakers - rarin' to go. I did my 9 minutes on the treadmill and was in great shape. Then they told me to slow down and walk out the remaining minute. Last thing I remember was being in the doctor's arms. I fainted at the very end, so they admitted me.
I was in the hospital Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday, I had an angiogram to look for blockages in my coronary arteries. The good news is there's no blockage and my heart looks good. The answer to the reason I fainted after the treadmill was that I had a "vagal" reaction, (means I fainted) because of the abrupt stop in exercise and didn't cool down properly. The reason for the chest pain was that I had an esophageal spasm due to stress. Nitro relieves that spasm too.
No more of that job for me. I'm just on medical leave, hoping to be hired as something less stressful as soon as possible. I feel well, but my right leg swelled last night because of the femoral puncture. It's normal, but it scared the **** out of me, that's for sure. My first thought was, "Oh no! I upped my calories too much (which I didn't really) and gained weight in my leg!" It looked like my leg before surgery. It was a trauma reaction to having the puncture of the vein. I'm fine.
I'll keep y'all posted on my new job stuff. Today I have to sit on my tiny heinie and do NOTHING! I guess I can do that.
I miss everyone, and I'm glad I had a chance to say hi because it's been too long.
Love , hugs , blessings for the holidays,
Cheryl

Erin,
I really don't post here often, but do read daily. I felt I had to respond to the negativity directed at you. I just wanted to say congratulations on your successes!
It's sad when people take out their anger and frusteration on other people. Just keep your chin high and turn the other cheek.
You are beautiful inside and out!
Have a GREAT day!

Erin,
I'm so sorry that someone felt the need to send you such an inappropriate and thoughtless message. Clearly, they have some personal issues that they need to address. I read most of your posts and am just happy that you're happy with your progress and where your life is right now. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't take it personally; it reflects on the person that sent it, not the person that received it!
Hope married life is still treating you well

Topic: RE: re: thanks for the kind posts regarding my ankle injury
Am I missing something here? You fell? No body made you fall? And now your sueing the bus station. I mean come on. Yes you had a terrible experience with everyone being rude to you - you had a cell phone you should have called the ambulance or called your hubby and had him do it. I'm just flabergasted that you are taking it this far to get a dime. People get hurt all the time in public places. Everybody is sue happy. Watch your step next time and maybe you won't have to go through this. It's people like you that disgust me. Ooops I fell now give me money for my pain and suffering. Maybe you could do something to better help someone who might have the same clumsy feet as you do and right to the bus station about better safety precautions and maybe become a patient liasion your self. Maybe since you've experienced it you would be good at knowing how to treat other people. Or maybe would get a taste of your own medicine when you **** someone off so to speak and they sue you!
Get a life and a true calling instead of your calling being sue happy!

Topic: RE: come out come out.............
Oh I'm around. Spent today cleaning, scrubbing, scouring my kitchen stove, fridge, cupboards and floor. I live in a very old condo with the original kitchen cabinets. They've been painted over so many times it's hard to get them clean without scrubbing the paint off! Now that I'm able to do serious cleaning (before the weight loss I was worthless lol), I'm enjoying this serious cleaning, it feels good to finally get this apt in shape!! I may be moving out of here in Feb, but at least I'll enjoy clean until then LOL. Now when I get in there to start baking Christmas cookies and treats, it'll be a pleasure to be in such a clean kitchen!
I'm glad to see you are home and doing better. I hope you continue to get stronger and feel better and better. Hang in there!!! Jeanne in Miami

Wow. You are such a neat person, you sure didn't deserve that! That person has some serious issues. Try not to take it to heart. Know that you are a good person and this is just someone's opinion, it means nothing. I love seeing your pictures, it inspires people and your happines just radiates! (((((((HUGS))))))))). Take care and keep on being YOU!!! Jeanne in Miami

Topic: LOOK AT THIS PRIVATE MESSAGE!!!
I am honestly SHOCKED!!! I have never been flamed, nor have I ever treat anyone with any disrespect on this site. I can not believe I received this.
I am putting this out there, so this person realizes what a fool they just made out of themselves. They can't even tell me who they are, they made a "FAKE" profile!!!
I find this SO FUNNY!!! Because they are portraying a person that I am not. I sent it to the Obesity Help Monitors!
