Anyone else?
Thanks,
Laurie who is in desprate need of one!

I also had a two-hour car ride home. I was really worried about it, but after one little stop where I thought I would get sick (I didn't), I tilted the seat back a bit and I slept the rest of the way. Thank goodness I wasn't driving!

Topic: RE: RUNNERS!!!
Thank you Linda! We started by just walking to Hendricks Park each day and then running downhill part of the way. Now we've worked up to running 3-5 days per week and lifting weights on the days we're not running. Yesterday I ran the furthest I've run without having to stop and walk for a couple of minutes. 20 minutes without stopping. We figure if we keep it up and improve little by little, maybe we'll be able to do a half-marathon in the next year or two.
I actually got on the message board to see if a meeting time had been posted. I realized I never saw a meeting time for May. Is there a meeting in June?

So what vitamins are good to take now and after the surgery? My doctor did labs and found that I have not detected estrogen and vitamins now.

I take it that you have already taken the car ride home. Hopefully, you had a bottle of water to sip during the trip.
"How do you remember not to bend down, twist, or pick things up that may be over 5 pounds?"
I used a grabber to pick things up or to take things down off shelves for about the first 6 weeks. I used a full gallon jug as a guide for the weight restrictions.
