I'm back-minor updates. Missed ya!

Hi everyone - I was so attached to writing/reading every night for a while, I guess I burned up the computer. We had 5 computers in the house and slowly they all started breaking.  You guys are so great, I looked forward to my board time each night.  We finally got one computer back up and running, so I'm back and get to chat again. Yay!

I hope everyone had a great Easter and is staying healthy. Avoid the jellybeans-they are so not worth it (yes, I'm talking to myself now).

My minor update -I was scheduled for an exploratory surgery with Duke to determine the cause of my pain.  However, once I finally got it all scheduled, my pain basically just went away. Literally-I woke up and it was gone. I called Dr. Torquati's office last week and asked if they thought I would be ok cancelling it since pain was gone. They said yes-so I cancelled it. Of course, now it's starting back again but nothing like it was.  I'm slowly back at the YMCA and able to move and have a normal life again so I'm determined to get this weight off of me now. Keep praying that my pain stays away and I am able to stay healthy-I have 60 lbs regained now that must go.  Yikes!!!

Hi Marci,

Welcome back and I'm glad to hear that your pain is much better.  I hope that it remains controlled if not gone.

Welcome back!! For all the positives that computers give us in our daily lives - nothing compares to how traumatic it can be when they don't work right. Glad to hear that you're back up and running.

Stay away from the jelly beans - they're evil.

Jellybeans are so evil - they should have skull and crossbones on the package. LOL 

Thanks for the e-mails.  It's so nice to be able to look forward to going to the YMCA again.  I can't wait till hubby gets home with the car and off I go....
