did y'all miss me??

Hey miss lady! Great to see you back on here! Thanks for updating us and good luck with the horse show! I used to ride horses when I was younger too, I bet it'll be awesome! -Phoenix -17 lbs.

hey you!!! how are u feeling, I was so excited about your upcoming surgery and I missed everything... any drama going on? Wow -17 doesn't it feel good? how u tolerating food? what about the people eating tons of food around you? has it gotten under your skin yet?! give me all the dirt!!! Vivi

LOL, yeah the people eating food part sucks. My mom stayed with me and my husband until today, so for the past 6 days I have been watching them eat ribs, shephard's pie, chicken caccitore, etc. My mother is evil! LOL No, really she has been awesome and really helped out around here. No more drama, glad to report. (I don't know if you kept up on the few days before my surgery last week, but that was drama filled!) The Wish Center here closed, so my surgery got canceled last minute, then I got a new surgeon, and he performs it laparoscopically and kept the same surgery date--but then my broker called and said we couldn't close on the refinancing, it wasn't going to happen because even with my mom as a cosigner it wouldn't work because her husband went into early retirement, and she's a real estate agent--so no "steady income"--no matter what their net worth is...that sucked. Luckily it all came together last minute and my mom paid for the surgery. So not only did the money fall into place, I got my surgery laparoscopically! Whew! that was drama. My recovery is going really well. The surgery was great. I just hope I am getting enough liquids in. I see the nutritionist wednesday, so we'll go over my evolving diet since I am still in the liquids for a week or so. Philly Swirl SF popsicles have become my new best friend though! woo hoo! lol. Well, that's about it. ttyl girlie! -Phoenix

Hey Vivi, I'm sorry you did not have a good V-day. I've been absent from the boards too lately. Life has just been way too chaotic. I even missed the last two support meetings (are you and Amy still coming? I promise to make the next one in March).

Hi Bobby, no, amy an d I have not been to the meetings lately, shoot me an email and let me know when the next one will be. I really need to get back on the wagon!!!! Sorry I did not make it to Tampa yet, life on the thinner side spins a lot faster!! Still trying to decide if this is a good or a bad thing!!! Vivi.
