Sunday Roll Call

Good morning everyone and hope you are having sun like I am in WI, though chilly. Dave and I are going back to the car show grounds in a short while. There were so many neat cars. Chevy must have sold a gazillion Belair's back in the late 50's because there are a ton of them here. By the way that car that goes in the water actually runs and I saw it in the parade. They are giving fire bucket rides and I want to go up and take a couple of pictures so one can view the massiveness of the amount of cars that are here. The car parade at the end of the day was neat to watch as they all left the grounds and cruised the main strip in Lake Delton. There will be another one today but earlier. Which is good because yesterday it rained. I was smart enough to take our rain ponchos with to dinner because it poured on the way back. We stayed relatively dry except our slacks but the room hair dryer took care of that. We go home tomorrow afternoon. What is going on with all the rest of you? Hope you all are taking advantage of the one day left of the weekend and spending time for yourself or enjoying your family.  & Christine

Good Morning Illinois. After doing laundry and working on the garden yesterday, today all I am doing is planting a couple of pots (big ones) and call it finished. We still have a few things to place in the veggie garden, but DH is off tomorrow I thin, and he will fini**** I hope.  Later today, we will be going to our DD in Bloomington, for GD birthday party/ bbq. I hope the weather warms up a bit by then. I don't want to wear jeans. Tomorrow, it will be work as usual. My program is winding down, it ends at the end of May. Not sure yet if I will have the summer off. I won't find out until the 30th.  Everyone have a nice, sunny, Sunday. Hugs

hi There, Sorry for the typing errors but my keyboard is acting funny;  i wish i was in Wisconsin vacationing but that is going to be another year..... i am working today till 5 going in at 11 short day but worth it. it is going to rain again here and it is overcast and will get to about 86 today i think. my herb pots are growing very well dispite the lack of rain. We are in hurricane season so maybe the rains will come and not the hurricanes. i have never seen on in person. Carl and i are thinking of buying a new car. Does anyone have a Nissan Versa? What do you think of them.  Carla

Good morning lafies and gents of Illinois...and Flordia! I amd up to my elbows in laundry, my DH came home for the day. He got here last night at 8pm brought in his 3 months supply of dirty clothing and said I only have a little bit!!!!  Right there are 6 loads of pants, 4 loads of shirts 3 whites and then his bedding....Happy Sunday to me....I have to get this all done before 5 because we have a t-ball game to go to.....Oh well its the first time hes been home for 3 months......

Have a great day in sunny Illinois!!!!!!!!! Karen 

Good morning everyone! For me, I will be resting today. I'm having a lot of pain in my stomach area and it's so hard to lie down in bed and turn to my sides even with pain medication. If this keeps up another day, I'm going to call Dr. Guske. It shouldn't be so painful. I feel so bloated too. I finally passed some gas last night, but hardly any BM. I gave myself a suppository and just had a few flecks. I feel like I'm pregnant. I've been having some nausea on and off starting last night. I don't know if that is to be expected.... So, if anyone here who had a band would kindly share their experience, I would appreciate it. I have no appetite or feel like drinking either. I feel so full all the time. I have to force myself to have my meals and fluids. I'm just tired of the pain in my stomach area. I'll be checking in during the day. Thanks in advance for any responses. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Lucy,

Sounds like you are experiancing the same pain that I had!  The day after my surgery, I  told my sister that I wanted the band out!  I didn't care if I was fat.  Thank god my sister didn't take me back to the hospital, because now it's great!!!  Try a heating pad and a binder.  When I turned on my side to sleep, I felt that my insides where hanging out.  The bloated feeling started to go away after 5or 6 days.  The pain around the port area will go away.  I felt it was rubbing up against my ribs and it was an annoying feeling.  You get used to the feeling.  Lucy...I am so happy for you.  You are someone that knows what they want and gets it done!!!  By the end of the summer, those bikini's will be calling your name!!!  And maybe we can go to Vegas together sometime and you can show me a few moves on the pole!!!!!  Call me if you have any questions.

Hi Kim. Thanks for your message. This is so new to me. I knew that I would need the support of my friends here. I just couldn't believe that this surgery would be so painful. I'd love to plan a trip to Vegas with you. I do get a lot of invites for free stays at the hotels. Maybe we can plan to go and utilize a free stay there. The pole dancing classes are held at Planet Hollywood. Could you PM me your telephone number? Hugs, Lucy

Lucy, I wish I could help you, but I had no pain at all. I was a bit uncomfortable for a couple of days, but I think it was the tape over the incision. Did Dr. Guske give you a scrip for liquid vicitin? Have you used it yet? If he didn't, call Kate tomorrow and ask for one, Good Luck. HUGS

Hi Lisa. Yes, I did get a prescription for liquid Lortab. I am using the heating pad during the day. I just took a short walk outside. Soon, I can take another dose of Lortab and then I'll take a nap. The tapes don't bother me. Remember that I did have my gallbladder removed too as well as having a hiatal hernia repair and repositioning of my pouch. Hugs, Lucy

Sorry Lucy, I have no words of wisdom to make you feel better. I didn't have pain after my lapband or gall bladder surgery, but I also didn't have them done at the same time. Keep walking and using the heating pad. I hope your feeling better soon!
