This is the link to BT newsletters, I love them. Her book really helped me pre op. http://www.wlscenter.com/NLArchive/1July2004.htm My angel Sharon is coming out with a book in the near future, I'll keep you all posted. Reach for the Stars. I am sure it will be great. I went to the doctor today for the bump on my TT incision. He thinks it's a hematoma and gave me like 6 shots of steriods and lidocaine. He is also having me take some motrin. When I return from FL he wants to see it again just in case it's another hernia!! Just my luck. Oh, and I can't sneeze, cough, or poop. lol......At least someone has a sense of humor!!!! LOVE TO ALL!! Cheryl

Florida? You're going on vacation?? That's not fair!!! I hope with everything they loaded you up on, your hematoma will quietly go away. Ugh!! So basically you need to take allergy medicine, sit in a beach chair reading serious books ... and don't eat fiber, and you'll be okay. XO Kathy F.

Hi Cheryl, Geezzzz.......life is a never ending series of challenges isn't it?? I hope that that all those shots break up what every that bump is so you can do all those natural processes again........ Hmmmm.........I can just imagine you blowing up on the plane!! (sorry about that, I must be losing it.) I can't wait for Sharon's book to come out. I am sure it will be great as she is an awesome person. When do you leave for Fla? I know you are really busy at work right now but just keep telling yourself it has to get better.......at least that is what I tell myself as they pile more and more paper work on us with less and less funding to helps the folks I work with. Just realized your old picture is back........hmmmmmm Linda

So sorry to hear that you are going through some complications. I'll be praying for you to get back to normal! Hugs Kathy Bilodeau

Hi Cheryl, I do have sensitive skin and is wondering if that caused bump on TT incision??? Please add my name on list to inform me when Sharon s book is coming out so I will buy this book and hope to meet her in Ct to sign this Book if you can arrange her to come in CT for all of us to meet her and listen her lecture soneday SMILE!!! Hugs Kathy K

Hi Kathy, Don't I wi**** was sensitive skin. Nope, it's in the incision and it's a hard bump that doesn't budge. I can't cough, sneeze or even go to the bathroom without pain. I just called the doctor so I am hoping they call in something a bit stronger for me to take. I sent Sharon your post and she was delighted. She needs me to push her along to get this book done. I am one of her reviewers and I can tell you it is so awesome so far.
