Topic: RE: I Have a Wedding date!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunny, I am so busy with just the easy stuff. Something borrowed,something new, something blue and we picked our Wedding song. I can imagine what a big weddings details are. Harold and I am flying to the Grand Lido in Negril. We spent our 3 year anniversary there last year. We will get one free night if they marry us.
Take care and I will keep you updated on the wedding.
Good work in your nursing career.
P.S. I picked a nice gown Size 4 and it fits. I have taken off the 15 pounds I gained from taking Lyrica for the DPN. I gained and it did not help with the Diabetic Peripheral Nueropathy. I am now on 300 mg Nueronton TID. It seems to work.
Love Lots!!!!

Congratulations Lorraine. I am so happy for you. I simply love beach weddings....our oldest daughter had a sunset beach wedding and then we just danced the night away on the beach! Our youngest daughter chose the traditional wedding ceremonial route....her wedding is November 1 and I am already pulling my hair out because of the $$$$. Just to think....we could have afforded a cruise for 25-30 people for the cost of this wedding!!!
Updates for me are: received my Bachelor's in Nursing in July and have already enrolled in a Master's Nursing program. I took my ACLS. I am applying for a State of Florida teaching certificate and working toward #1, becoming an AHA CPR instructor and getting certification as a school nurse. I lost about 8 pounds on my mission trip to Peru....I was pretty sick the week I returned to the States. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and plan to return next year. I'm just grateful that I didn't get sick while I was there.
Again, congratulations on the upcoming wedding. Are you flying or cruising to Jamaica??

Hi Sunny, I am so pleased to see how far you have come in your Nursing career. Peru must have been some experience. I have lots of friends who are RNs and do all sorts of traveling as nursing and missionary work. They love it. Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. Our wedding will be in Jamaica in November when we celebrate our 4th anniversary. We will be married at the Grand Lido in Negril, right on the beach.Expedia is making all the arrangements for us. I can't wait. I think its time. I will wear a nice fancy beach dress and Harold will wear white pants and a nice shirt. We are both beach people and the chapel will be set up on the beach. We just don't have a date that week yet.
Get back to you guys on the exact date.
Keep up your great work in your missionary work. God has a place for you and I think its very rewarding at what you are doing. When I feel better I will be donating some time to home care Hospice. I will help families that care for the dying to get out a bit for food shopping and sit with their loved ones. Just volunteer. I feel very needed in this area and have always. I am retired and know this is what I would love.
Peace and love to you.
Lorraine

Hi Nona and Lorraine.
I just got back yesterday morning from Peru (medical mission trip) and trying to catch up on several things. Congratulations Lorraine. DH and I celebrate 36 years of marriage today. I will finished school and have my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I don't know what I'm going to do with all my time not having to study.
I lost four pounds during the 10 day trip and have some gastro problems right now. I surely don't want to lose anymore. I don't have an appetite at all.... I haven't experienced this since immediately after surgery.
Glad you are both checking in to our anniversary date.......

I think your friend would love that. Maybe she could be one of your witnesses.
My neurologist wants me to cut my Lyrica dose in half and reduce my Wellbutrin by 50mg and increase my Topamax. He thinks that will alleviate the symptoms I'm having. He doesn't think it's MS or anything like that. 
In the mean time, I'm to have a CT to make sure there's no blood clot from the recent fall I had and banged my head a good one. Lyrica is the only thing that has helped my FM. It did cause a 30lb weight gain, so maybe reducing it I may get rid of some of that. I just hope the pain doesn't come back like it was. 
Joe is doing ok. He works too hard doing logging. He's trying again to get into P&G and I hope he can because it's so close and less hours. Plus the work would be easier on his body. He applied, so all we can do is wait.

Hi Nona, How are you feeling? I hope you are fine. I have a girlfriend who is on Lyrica for FM, and I also was on it for my Diabetic Nueropathy. It made me bloated and I gained 15 pounds and it did not help me. If you are taking it I hope it helps. It also made me very sleepy. I am OK now on Nueroton twice daily.
Now to the big question.
You are not being nosy at all. I have a friend whom I have been friends with for 34 yrs who is not well at all. If I get married it would be by a justice of the peace and I think I would do it upstate near her house so she could be next to me. I love her dearly. She is just too sick to bring to Jamaica where we wanted to get married at. It would be just us and witnesses. We will go away and we are looking now for our 4th anniversary in November to celebrate.
Good to hear from you.
Please let me know how you are feeling?
How is Joe?

Oh Lorraine that's wonderful! Your dreams have come true. 
Sounds like you got yourself a good one. I'm really happy for you. 
I wish you the best life can offer and a long happy marriage. Have you decided if you're going all out or just having a small, or just the two of you and witnesses? Forgive me if I'm being too nosy.

Nona Topic: RE: Soooooooooo Sore!
Congrats on the upcoming wedding. I know what it's like for weights. Before I got really sick, I used them alot. I can't do much now, just a little on my Gazelle and using Therabands for stretching and toning. But I'm going through what Lorrainne did. I'm on Lyrica for fibromyalgia and it works great for the pain, but I've put on 40lbs and went from a size 4/6 to a 12/14. I don't have a choice, though, because it's the only thing that helps me. Without it, it's a struggle just to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Now if they could just cure the Chronic Fatigue. I use Provigil and that helps, but it's not a cure and I still get the problems. I eat carefully, chosing my foods for health and nutrition, but the weight still came on. I just hope it stops soon or it's going to make my joints hurt again, having all that extra weight. 
Plus I have Peptic Ulcer disease due to the low blood flow in my pouch, so I have to keep something there all the time. I take Protonix twice a day, and I will have to for the rest of my life. My husband blames all my illnesses on the RnY, and even when a doctor tells him it has no effect, he still believes his own way.
My grandson from S. Carolina is visiting for 3 weeks. Yesterday, he got bit by a tick. We're watching the bite area, and it's not red or swelling, but he says it hurts. He's a bit of a baby, even though he's 14, so we take that into account. It hadn't bored in, just started to bite and it came right off and there was no blood so it hadn't had time to do anything. He's been running around and swimming in the creek, helping my husband cut tall weeds in the back yard, so he's not sick, but he is coughing and sniffeling. He has allergies, but I think he picked up a cold on the plane. I think he's going to be fine.

Hi there guys!!! How is everyone doing? I wonder often about all you guys. I have been not so well lately. 
I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and had many tests to make sure it was not the DPN. That is the Diabetic Periferal Nueropathy that I have since the Obesity brought on so many complications in my life. Thank God for the WLS! I take no meds. I gained about 15 pounds and have taken it off due to the high sugar I was afraid of getting again. Well...........July 15th I had the left hand done and IM healing. But imagine this. My boyfriend took me out to eat on Saturday night, and with a brace on he asked me to MARRY him and put a ring on my finger. I was crying and without my glasses, I could hardly see the sparkle. I am so happy!!!!!!!
I have met my soulmate and took my time with him. I have been dating him since November 2004 and this past July made 2 years we live together. He loves me Loose Skin and all
Take care guys.
Lets hear from you guys!!
