I just have a general question that may sound kind of odd. But could someone respond back to me with your thoughts? What symptoms would a person experience if there is a problem with their staple line? I had my surgery in 2011. I have been doing fairly well but experiencing pain in my stomach. I realize this is very general, because pain in the stomach could be from a number of things. But I would like to specifically ask the question. Thanks, and I appreciate your replies in advance.

Love that cat bed and how organized everything looks.

Good luck on the shamrock shuffle. I 'ran' it 10 years ago. I did it for a girl. We broke up the week of but I still did it. It proved to me that I'm capable of doing this health thing and led to the start of the weight loss journey.

The crocus shoots already look pretty and a promising start to the spring.

QOTD- Probably band and stage band. I also loved Algebra II.
Cute kitty bed that so far they are ignoring.
It's rainy and cold but supposedly it will be in the 70's this week. My greenhouse blew over again last night, it was really windy. I'm not going to fix it now, I'll wait until it isn't so windy and rainy. It's not staked down which is my fault.
I need to get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Friday,
It is a beautiful day to be alive. I am excited for the weekend. It is looking like it will be nice weather after a few days of ****ty March weather.
Chicago has a lot of cultural things available for free or cheap if you know where to look. Free museum days, Chicago resident discounts, concerts, tool library, $15 Symphony tickets, theater ticket lotteries $25 seats on the 25th for Broadway theatre shows.
Currently the $25 applies to every show. I'm hoping to snag a couple tickets in tonight's lottery. Tomorrow night, the plan is to cook us a fancy dinner and nice tenderloin roast. It will be really nice if I can surprise Paula with a night at the theater too.
QOTD- My favorite class was Journalism and being an editor/writer for the school newspaper for 4 years. That being said, I only attended 25% of classes my senior year.l got Bs despite only doing the tests and big papers. I was working two jobs by that time and already had enough credits to graduate. Had I actually applied myself, who knows?
Steps: 4,936
B: Dannon light and fit coconut yogurt, cantaloupe.
L: rotisserie chicken over salad.
D: rotisserie chicken& g Hughes BBQ sauce.

Good morning, everybody!
This had been a long week. Between getting home at almost 4:00 AM on Sunday night/Monday morning, 4 in-office days, and being back at swimming, I am so ready for the weekend!
I did get my full swim workout in this morning, although it was not a thing of beauty.
I am running in an 8-k on Sunday and I need to pick up my race packet at lunchtime today. The race is called the Shamrock Shuffle, and it's in downtown Chicago, so it should be a nice course. Plus I get a free beer.
Aside from the race, I am planning a very relaxed weekend: gym, March Madness, and a lunch on Saturday. Maybe a little fly tying.
QOTD: Accounting and Sophmore English
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Not sure, maybe a slice of pizza
Dinner: Leftover meatballs
Have a great day, all!
