Saturday WLS Express

Ok, pulling the train out of Keller Station with a destination of Grapevine for Joes Crab shack. Will go slow so you sleepheads can jump on the flatbed for some suntanning.

hey Bryan,
glad you are feeling up to starting the train today! WOW I'm impressed. Day  2 after my surgery i wasn't even interested at looking at a computer lol.  Good for you :)
Glad you  are recouping so well. 

Well folks, i had planned to leave early this morning so i could make danni's dinner tonight. I'm so sorry, but its just not going to happen.  Danni, i will see you before you leave, don't worry about that, but unfortunately not quite up for the trip in the heat just yet.  Did a few things around the house yest and ran a few errands, and I'm topped out. I'm way bummed as i was really looking forward to seeing everyone and getting hugs. So save the hugs for stephs BBQ :)
hope everyone has a great day, i will be back on the sofa lol.  Make sure to get your water in, its wicked hot out there.

OK on another note, ONE of our resident PITA"s is back from wherever she was. I strongly encourage you to hit the BLOCK button on this one as to not risk ANYTHING that will jeopardize the legal issues of this ridiculous mess. 

Love to all
Liz

Sorry, too late LIZ.  I already posted a huge response but the cops have a great case and I don't believe there's anything that I said that would jeapardize anything. 

Personally, I'm glad you are staying home.  You need to resp and recoup.  We will see you soon enough.  The BBQ is only 2 weeks away and we want you healthy.

lol no problem lady :)
Even *I* am just amazed at the balls of some folks, ya know :)
i hate hate hate missing the festivities tonite, but with the heat and everything else, just gonna sit this one out. Since the BBQ is so close, will just see everyone there :)

Have a good day!!!

You need to resp and recoup. 

I just re-read my "funny".  I meant REST and recoup, or maybe I didn't...

You will be missed tonight! However you should be in fine form for the BBQ!!!!!

Slept ok last night, moved to the bed for a bit then back to the couch. Think I will call my dad to bring some blocks up in order to raise the bed into an incline and remove the matress topper. Sipping my water now and hoping GNC has the Isopure Plus 0 card i had in the hospital, taste sort of like koolaid with 16 grams of protien and smaller than the shakes so ordered some to shake things up for the next 3 weeks. Was 359 in the preop with clothes on prior to surgury and filled with the gas and such only 363 now so not too bloated. It was definately you guys who made me a success, of all of Dr. Kims patients I was the only one who came home yesterday. That I attribute to following the rules both on preop and the walking and sipping you told me to do afterwards. The hospital staff at Forest Park Medical Center was amazing. They have only been open for 3-4 months and everything was top notch. Did not have to wait for anything. Plus there was a Docter on staff for the follow up so I saw Dr Kim once after surgury but saw this guy at least 5 times in 24 hours, which after being with Alissa in the hospital last few times is amazing to me. though there was a mix of genders for the patients apparently the boys club as we were called were ahead of the game as we were all walking the halls overnight (think I walked at 10, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8 over the night shift). As for the liquid choices they started me on liquids at 9:45 with botteled water, isopure plus and a crystal light lemonaide with instructions for 30ml every 15 min. Then at 11:45 brought me lunch which consisted of beef brooth, another lemonaide, apple juice, decaf tea and a nuway like bullet but think it was the kind that walmart has. So i switched from the water/isopure to brooth and tea for about an hour. plan to walk the house and rest today so i can get some peep time in later with my water/isopure in hand.

Love all of you since my success comes through your tredding the waters of this journey before me.

We are all so happy to see you doing so well!!!!

And I for one am glad to know that someone listens and takes the "good stuff" away from this board and applies it - did I say you were brilliant too?!?!?  Keep up the good work!!
