ROTF!!! You two crack me up!!! I have "BLING BLING" too. Mine is almost antique!!! Junior olympic and high school metals! I don't have "Big Ones" like some one....(clearing my throat and then grinning) Thanks for the info. I appreciate it! Tammy

Hi guys. The bug got me today. I feel awful. So, I am not going to go to the gym tonight. So, please, whoever goes grunt groan and push a little weight for me, and think hard core thoughts for me while you are there. Thanks. I hope this is one of those quick things...I hate feeling like this. I feel like I am on a slow boat to China... *burp* 'scuse me.... oohhhh

Tammy, I am glad you feel comfy enough to vent. They guys will get over it. They usually just ignore this stuff anyway. Ok, this is coming from an OB/GYN nurse, and a post hysterectomy patient. I think you should consider your doctors advice. If you only have one involved ovary, they can leave the other. But, to be honest, if you continue with the way you are you are going to have a serious rupture and the possibly end up with peritonitis. That, my friend is dangerous. I think I would want to be in the best health possible for your wls. Trust me, you won't miss them that much, and hrt therapy has changed quite a bit over the past few years. I was fortunate in that I had fibroids. My ovaries are ok, so I still have those, I can understand your concern. But stop and look at the big picture here. I saw that you have A LOT of kids...holy cow, what like 7? So, you aren't missing out on having kids, but why would you want to continue with this kind of pain for years to come? Get a second opinion if necessary, but trust me on this, doctors anymore do not jump to the knife as the first solution. If they feel surgery is the necessary treatment, then it most likely is. Ok, nuff soap boxing here. Take care of yourself. Get healthy! Oh, and btw YOU GO GIRL ON THE VOLLEY BALL TOURNEY!!!!!!!!!! I am extrememly competitive so I know how you feel! I was planning on competeing in August, but there is one coming up in March, and it has got me droolin' a little bit to go just for the heck of it.... hmmmmm I want one another trophy to wear like Earl.... Hugs, Val

Nice Job Michelle

I just had to share with you all that I biked 6 miles in 30 min 13 seconds. This is the second time I have biked 6 miles. I am just dumbfounded and so happy. Good luck with all of your work outs!! Michelle
