Great article on medication

Good morning to all!

Feeling better today.  My headache is down to a dull roar at the moment as is my neck.  It was wonderful to see all the rewsponses to my post yesterday.

There was an article on the home page about medications and their effectivness after surgery.  I printed it out and am taking it to the PCP's office with me this afternoon.  It specified Vicodin as one of the preferred meds for pain control for RNY patients.

I'm not sure what I was dreaming about last night but I woke up this morning thinking about the jewelry business and what I can do to keep my sanity.  I am going to limit my work to 25 hours a week.  I'll keep track of how much time I'm putting in.  I know it's a lot of work to start your own business but it's not much use if I'm going to make myself sick over it.

I got to water aerobics last night and had a good work out.  I'm a little sore this morning; it's been a few weeks but I did drop another pound and a half and lost another 4 inches so that's a good thing.  I'm at 193 right now and I can see the 180's on the horizon.  I have less than 50 pounds left to goal.  I truly never thought I would get this far.

Patrece and Kathy, I hope you are having loads of fun.  I hope everyone has a great day.

Colleen, I am proud of yur decisions.  Your attitude is good today.  Getting pain under better control can make a whole world of difference.  I am keeping Patrece out of trouble, or least trying. lol

We went for a walk around the block, now the "block" in her neighbor hood is larger than a block in my neighborhood.  Found a good incline to build up a sweat.  Felt good to exercise the legs and lungs.  The time goes so quickly when I let my diarrhea of the mouth escape, yup to gals shooting the breeze while we walk. 


Have a grand day everyone.  Hugs

Colleen, I am reallyyyyyy enjoying the visit with Kathy, and the time is flying by for me. Thanks for the positive hopes for our fun!

Good for you ...setting limits that will allow you to enjoy what you are doing. You sure don't wanna take something you love and turn it into a task that becomes unjoyful.
Congrats on the continued weight loss, and making water aerobics! So happy for you!

Big hugs!
