Wendy, Bobbie, and Ellen-- How has your week been?

Just wondering how our newest members weeks have been? Can't call 'em lurkers, because they have all posted already. Welcome to the club and let us know how you are doing. Wendy, I remember you from the first nutritionists appt way back when. Glad you are doing well. Dianne

I'm wondering too, do tell! Brief hijack... How's your sis today? Good I hope. Also hoping your ulcer pain is better. Linda

Hi, Thanks. I haven't yet talked to her today. Hoping she's better, she was a little better last night when she called me at 11pm. My ulcer pain is well controlled with the meds. Dianne

I'm feeling pretty good, now. Deb was quite perky when I was over her house earlier tonight.

Hi Dianne it's Bobbie. I'm getting ready to go on vacation to Cape May, N.J. This is the first year that I am truely happy about going. I do love it there. But, we usually go on vacation when it's pretty cool out. But,this year I do hope it's warm enough to take the kids on the beach. No bikini yet (never will) just a pair of clam diggers I call my "hot pants". So if I don't post for awhile that's why.I promise I won't go back to "lurker land". lol Bobbie Kachmar

Okay, my bags are packed (no bikinis) ... when are we leaving?

Bobbie That's great! Enjoy your vacation! Wish I was there... Dianne

HI- This week is going well, I see the cardiologist tomorrow and I start the 6 week nutrition lifeskills class next Wednesday the 29th. Anybody else going? It seems that this is mandatory for all new patients. Which is probably a good thing all around. All other appointments with PMRI are scheduled after I see the pulmonoligist in November. How many weeks post op is it for you and how do you feel? Ellen

Ellen, I hear the nutrition - life skill classes are great. They didn't require them when I was jumping through the hoops like they do now. I think it was Deb that said that they take you on a shopping trip. I think that is wonderful!!! Take this time to fill yourself full of as much information as you can hold. It will do nothing but help you afterwords (well, it might put you on a bit of overload right now, but sooner or later it will all fall into place *grin*) Hugs, Tammy

Hi Ellen Good luck with your classes and clearances. I took the class. Just be sure that if you take a diuretic not to stop during the class. I didn't lose the weight and that held me up... All in the past now. You will do well. Sounds like you are busy and on your way. Embrace every step of this journey. Dianne
