Roll Call & Venting

Hello all, Just wanted to let anyone post that needs to post, tell us how their day was, vent if they need to. WELCOME ALL OF THE NEWBIES IN HERE! How is Rachel doing since she has been home. No one has posted on that. I am going through some issues with the 16 yr old that is staying with us. I am so ready to flip right now. Otherwise, Everyone tell us how your day was, WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME NEWBIES AND CONGRATULATE JOANNE, FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT SHE NEEDS AN ANGEL!!!! Not many people step up to ask what an angel does, or what do we need one for. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE POSTING SOON!!!!! Christie

Christie, thanks for asking about me! I'm doing pretty well, just finished typing in my surgery day experience so anyone who wants can check my profile for what happened that day and some really goofy pictures too! I started on the pureed diet and since getting in more fluids and eating the dizziness I've had for the past few days is lessening... I'm glad too, was making me nuts! I have no clue what Dr Wynn is smoking though, she wants me to try to eat more than I am already, and I can NOT imagine shoving more into that little pouch in a half hour! Nor do I want to, I already feel like I'm eating a lot of food for someone who has had this surgery, and I don't want to stretch myself out and undo the work before it has time to help me... I'm gonna see what I can do though, not sure why this is bothering me when a few days ago I felt like I'd never eat an entire hamburger again. Now I'm worried that not only will I eat the burger, but fries and a shake with it... I don't want that!!! Well, that's how I'm doing. Trying to get refills on meds I was off of cuz of the surgery so I have them when needed, didn't get my child support because the state has messed up their system and once again lost my x's payment, and I haven't gotten my first paycheck yet... we're begging food off the x right now and not thrilled about it. Okay, check out my update and pictures. HUGS! Rachel
