wow - what an adventure.  Glad that you are all ok

Congratulations on three years.  Time flies.  As most of us along this journey, you have had many ups and downs.   You have been a welcome face at just about every meeting and I admire you for sticking to this despite some of the negative things you have endured.  You are a strong, determined woman and I know you will continue along this road and be an inspiration to others.

Love,  Arlene

Congratulations on your surgiversary. I always tell my clients that I truly believe that we start over when we have our surgery and that we are having to re-learn life. So when we make mistakes, or don't know what to do or have the answers, I always say to them ( and myself ) what do you expect you are three years old? LOL 

You are doing well, and you are right it has been quite a ride, I look forward to seeing where you are and how far you have come when you can say I am four years old :)

Good Afternoon PA!!

Today is my third surgiversary!! Cannot believe it!!!

I am not going to go into a long speech, just that I am so glad that I had this life saving surgery!

It has been a WILD ride, some really high times and really low times, but such is life.

I have met some amazing people and made some GREAT friends!

I do, however have a CRAZY story for the way my surgiversary started. Last night we went out to Lancaster with another couple to celebrate a friends birthday. We had a FABULOUS time and didn't want the night to end, but at midnight it did. So we got in the car and started on our way home. We needed to stop at the rest stop and both our guys went to use the bathroom. Well, my hubby didn't lock the doors. The next thing we know this man that neither of us knew opened my door. I was like, "HELLO? Can I help you??. He apologized and thought he was going to his car. Scared the living daylights out of me and my friend! The guys come back and we tell them what happened. So we continue on our ride home. All of a sudden three deer run out into the road, Steven swerved and missed two out of the three. He did hit one and yes there is damage to my car, but we are alive! That is all that matters. So it was an interesting start to my surgiversary. I hope the rest of the day is UNEVENTFUL!

I want to thank all the people who give of themselves so freely on this board and have supported me no matter what! You are so appreciated and loved!!

Love, Beth

Has anyone had any experience with Dr. Motto at Evangelical Hospital in Lewisburg, PA? I am just starting the bypass surgury process and was curious.

Topic: RE: Sharing on age and heat/cold
first of all "gasp"! I am 56 and seriously do not feel like it and have been told that I dress "young" I don't mean skin tight clothing or boobs hanging out or too low cut but I pull off alot of tops and dungarees I could wear years ago I wear what is my comfort zone. I ride in the summer on the horse wearing tank tops and carpenter dungarees and danskos so its not an age thing its how we feel as a person frankly we are not princesses anymore so it is what it is. And I have gotten over that. As far as feeling cold well I for one in the winter sleep with an electric mattess pad flannel pjs flannel sheets electric blanket and comforter yep I am cold and when I go anywhere I make sure I have a hoodie or sweater just in case because I lost my insulation when I lost my weight including warmth so you are not alone. I really think that because we make the choice to go on this journey in the back of our mind its like oh gosh this is our chance to do what was held back due to being overweight and damn it I for one am taking it!

Topic: RE: Super Saturday Roll Call
Hello Beth,
So glad to hear Deanna is getting better.  I have asthma, and sometimes I will get bronchitis, and hate it so much.  Basically it sucks.

I was actually planning to get to Barix this month, but I am contagious, and don't want to expose anyone who might be vulnerable to the shingles virus.  I can't be around anyone who has not have the chicken pox, or whose immune system is compromised, like chemoe patients, or people with other diseases.  Better safe than sorry.

Today, I am making my first batch of yogurt.  I had some homemade yogurt in Michigan at my daughter's.  A friend of hers brought over dinner one night, and included a quart mason jar of it.  It was so yummy with fresh strawberries.  I am hoping this turns out.  THe directions call for a candy thermometer, but all I have is a meat thermometer.  Holding that in the pot while the milk heated hurt my hand from the heat, so I had to wear an oven mitt to keep checking the temperature of the milk.  A candy thermometer clips to the pot.

Ida, I am so glad you got the doc to order something.  Flexeril is a muscle relaxer that does knock me out.  My orthopedist gave me a prescritpion for Skelaxin, which is less sedating.  

Hope everyone has a terrific day.

Hugs,
Trish
