Did anyone get the plate number ofthat truck that hit me?

keep going....the headaches will stop.  You're almost there!!!!  We're waiting for you......here on the loser's bench!!!!!!!!!

Dan, You are in the final countdown...wait, doesn't that sound like a song!  I know the liquid diet is hard, but you are almost there.  Do you have to have just clear liquids, or can you have full liquids for a day or so before the clear liquid diet?  If so, eat strained cream soup.  You know we are here for you.  Sending hugs and prayers for you to get through this and for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!  Call if you need someone to talk too! Michelle

Thanks for the well wishes.  I just got back from seeing Dr Kirk and he said I could have red and purple stuff.  He said the rule about red and purple is no longer in effect anymore.  He also said tomato soup was okay for me to eat so I got a couple of cans of it.  Also went to Discount Sports and got me some BB vitamins and calcium.  Then finished up at Wal-mart buying some new boxers and some beach slippers to wear while up there......ooh yeah and some gas-x strips, LOL.  It was so funny my mom stopped at Army's and got her a sandwich but made me go into Wal-mart while she sat in the car and ate so I didnt have to be around her.  How thoughtful of her huh?  Then I go into Wal-Mart and the first thing I smell was the SUBWAY cooking those personal pizzas.....I wanted to get out of there so fast.  But yeah I am going to make it, I have came too far to stop now.  And hey its only 2 more days of this crap anyways then I wont care about food as much for the next 2 weeks.

I'm hoping it gets much easier for you and this time passes quickly. You'll be throught surgery soon and on your way to the healthier you that you are looking forward to!  You'll be in my prayers every day.  Shelly

wolf...i'm glad you are doing a little bit better.  just think - you are getting through it!!  if it makes you feel better, i just overate and feel like cr@p now!!!  i should have done the liquid dinner thing!  i have a whole battery of labs in the morning and was feeling sorry for myself.  now do you feel better? sometimes our heads get the best of us.  apparently almost 2 years out and i still don't have it all together either!  the roller coaster is ready to board!!  welcome to the craziness!  just remember that we are all here for you and we love you!  pyscho crazy and everything!!   hang in there!!!  ((((((HUG))))))

Dan, I feel your pain. Hang in there and in a couple of days that will be over and you can start on a new leg of your journey. In the mean time I will put an APB out on that truck. We don't want it to hit you again!!! Best of Luck, Rita

I found the first couple of days to be torture, but then it got much easier.  Just keep your eye on the prize.  Before you know it, you'll have lost a hundred pounds or more and won't be able to believe how fast it all went!
