Momsy, I'll send you a private message here at OHM and give you the link to my husband's obituary.
Just a reminder to all that I continue to be on the down-low about my WLS. For that reason I don't post my name here or any identifying specifics, like my family name, where I live, etc.

149.2. Didn't track calories/food the last 2 days because......well, I didn't want to - so there! Lol!
Saw my PCP yesterday and got a prescription for Cymbalta (anxiety med) and Omeprazole (just in case the chest discomfort is actually GERD).
Cold and snowy here. I so need a warm get-a-way. I don't think that will be in the plans though. I was looking to book something over Spring Break but airfares are so high and flight times so terrible right now and Ben just isn't feeling that great and who knows how he will be feeling 2 months from now. I think we will just stay home and freeze in Wisconsin. Maybe I should buy one of those Seasonal Affective Disorder lights!
No set plans for today. I have a headache and not feeling very motivated.
Theme for the day: No more Skittles!

DO NOT TAKE THAT CYMBALTA until you have read up on it.

Talk to Shel, too. I had a friend for whom the drug did not work so well and getting off of it was God awful! The withdrawal symptoms were horrible including what she called, "Brain Zaps".
I am not giving you medical advice, just a concerned virtual friend. I'd hate for you to have yet another nasty thing on your already too full plate!
Hugs!
I did read some things regarding bad withdrawal. Shel - any input? My PCP picked that one because it is one that doesn't have much effect on heart rhythm....many of the other's do which would be bad for my already irritable heart. I didn't take any yet.
