They think its an Ulcer

Just catching up with all the posts. They think the pain that I've been having under my ribcage and across my back is an ulcer.  So have to pick up a script and start taking and see where we are in a week.  So. Jen & Patti - Congratulations to you both - What a fantastic year.  I'm so glad to call you my friends and to be able to "pick your brains" as I go along on my journey. Steph - Oh you know how I'd love to come to your sod Party, but I'm sure I must be doing something (anything) else that day, so I'll have to take a raincheck. Don't think I'll be at Chiefs tomorrow night - we'll see how it goes. Melissa - Hope your mom is doing better and the waterpark will have to be on a weekend, I start a new job on Monday.  LOVE THE SNACK SHACK IDEA!!!!   Jean - all you can do is "lead the way" - I have one who is extremely thin and is constantly eating (he's 17) and my youngest eats all the time too, I am putting much healthier things in the house and thankfully my little one (9) goes to the Y and swims, runs etc.  He'd rather be outside than in, but I did put a limit on the video games, if not he'd surely have a weight problem.  Plus he loves veggies (with low-fat ranch or low-fat cheese) he can't even tell the difference! Kathy- I could use a mini-vacation but DH is working Saturday - sorry - maybe next time. Chris - If I were you I'd duck  these women are gonna tear you up! Once Upon a time there was a female brain cell that, by mistake, happened to end up in a man's head.  She looked around nervously because it was completely empty and quiet.  Hello? she cried but got no answer.  Is there anyone here?  she cried a little louder - still no answer.  Starting to feel alone and scared, the female brain cell yelled at the top of her voice.  HELLO! Is anyone around?   Then she heard a faint voice from far away saying "We're down here!"  

Colleen, I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I hope the meds takes care of it and try to eliminate some stress. by the way, how's the new job working out? Oh, I love the new pic. You can really see the new you.
