Waiting and Praying

Went to pcp, I have lost 49lbs since last visit in October. But, I need to be able to keep some food. The nurses tried to draw some blood, they were unable too due all the blown veins so off to nearby hospital. The took forever to find a vein to get the blood needed for testing the PCP/ Surgeon needed. I pray I passed all my tests. I hope all that went to the Party had a wonderful time. I hope Mary Brown was able to go. She's so awesome. Sherri, I am so sorry I fell apart, but thankful you were the super glue that mended me. Pamela, I have an appt on Friday at 1:00 at the center. It will be good see you, I will be looking for you. Everyone, I miss all of you and pray soon I can post more offen, I love my OH family. Blessings, to All, Love Gail

Gail, I am praying all your labs came out perfectly normal. Thats a fantastic wt loss !! Im so proud of you sweetie. I know you are having a ruff road right now but I hope in a few months u can look back and say it was all worth it. I so enjoyed our converstation on the phone yesterday. I was so glad u called me back. I look forward to seeing u there Sat. My mom is going to ride with me too. She likes to ride with me incase I get to tired to do all the driving. Its like 2 hrs each way and I have to work that night so she worrys I'll get to tired. Mary Was there and I have a pic of her on my profile and I know Carmen took some pics too. See you Friday Mariah

Gail, Hi sweetie, I hope that all of your labs come back fine and that you are feeling better soon. Please let me know what you find out! I will be at work today if you want to call me there, it is ok! I am still thinking of you and praying for you that you will be on a bump free journey soon, congrats on the 49lbs, I know it has been tough, but that is a wow moment for sure! 49 lbs. gone, YEAH!!! Love ya sweetie, hope ya have a good day! Hugz Dawn

Gail, I hope that you are feeling better this morning. I've never been called 'super glue' before, but I take that as a real compliment. I'm glad I could be there for you. And everything will truly be all right. Sometimes, it just takes time to get over these rough moments. Did you pick up your B12 sublingual? I don't know why you & Mary weren't told to take this. Very important. My sister (3 yrs post-op) is now having problems from not taking hers. I don't want to see any of my friends make the same mistake. How about the phenagrin? Did you get a script for it in suppository form. I think it's so stupid when you have nausea from hell and they try to calm it by putting something in your stomach! If that doesn't work, please do ask about an endo. A quick look may solve so many questions. Even if they find nothing, at least you would know that everything is ok in there. I feel for you with the needles. I've often wondered why for people like you and I, they can't just put in a pic line that stays...so they can tap into it when ever they need to draw out or put in. Sure would make it less of a hassle for us, huh? Part of the problem of them trying to get a vein is probably that you are dehydrated some. If you aren't keeping liquids down, it's probably the case. Dehydration can also cause nausea. So...try really, really hard to get liquids in, k? Hope you feel better really soon! Sherri
