========================

Kristy love... your getting ready to have your plastic surgery...you

had better be getting in plenty of protein and iron....it is soooo

important to healing. lol...I remember how important nice thin

scars were to you......There are never any guarentees that we will

heal perfectly...but we do want to give it all the help we can.

<<speaking in a stern voice>> BACK AWAY FROM THAT COKE AND

CROISSANT!!! Pick up the chicken and water and chow down.

My children are always mis-behaving and I can't understand

why...<<<drinking my water out of the tacobell pepsi cup from

earlier today>>>

Thanks Kristy

I went to a street fair yesterday in Ridgecrest and it was soooooo

hard not to have a coke. I had a meeting at the bank 1st- it was

really hard there not to have one, but got even harder at the street

fair. But I did have a steak taco (okay 2 of them) on my way home to

celebrate my strength! lol

And I had a hot dog at the street fair but didnt eat the bun..I am

starting to practice for Tues.. lol

Are you taking the Meridia the Dr gave you? Just wondering how that

is working for you as a DS'r? I dont know if I could take something

like that- but you are brave to try. Hope all is working out for

you....YOU DO NEED TO STALK UP ON THE PROTIEN before your surgery so

all will go well. You wont feel like eating much afterward...at

least I didnt...

Those areas sound painful, painful, painful. When my incision drained, Dr. K

had me wash it 2x/day in the shower with dial soap. I thought peroxide, but he

said Dial was better. Maybe you should ask him? You're no more confused than

the rest of us- oops, I should speak for my self. Betsy

Sharon

from now on I think I will use Jon's method of incision care. He

used alcohol to keep the incisions dry. I have to dress up the raw,

open, painful areas which are very close to the incisions so I

probably need to dry out the incisions, too, huh?

Isn't Jon the nude guy on the beach and the guy who used a sock to

cover his member??? Seems to be quite the character

Thank you so much

Does anyone know if we can use ultrasonic humidifiers if we have a defibrillator?? Please, Guidant tech lady said absolutely it is very safe. Should i trust her because at first she did not sound so sure. Please let me know people. Thanks. Love TURK

Sharon

Hi there friend...........

Happy "Belated"

Birthday Hugz, Please visit the Zapper homepage athttp://www.ZapLife.org

Turk,

My husband says they are safe. They have a small motor, no bigger

than the motor in an electric mixer, so they won't produce any big

electro-magnetic fields. And the high freq sound waves should stay

reletively contained to the unit, but even if they don't they would

not be a problem either.

That is all we need to do and sometimes to tell you the truth I am still very broken and I can barely make 1 minute at a time.

Dr. Toren is wonderful, an old white haired very Jewish man with a wonderful zest for life. Somewhat like a Dr. Phil type. He never tells you that you are wrong or bad he gives you great suggestions on another idea you might want to consider.

I think the biggest situation he is helping me with at 58 is the horrible child abuse and child sexual abuse I suffered. He has also given me permission to fall down and to cry and to hurt but to no longer be a victim. AS he would say sometimes we have been a victim for so long we know no other way to be but a victim/

You have given me much encouragement and support. You are a true friend!

Ya know...there is another way of looking at things:

We always refer to this as a " journey " ....and it is. You have been

on a two year journey, but please don't feel sad. One of the best

parts of the journey is " coming home " , and the memories that we

gather while we are " gone " . The way I see it, after our journey,

after the long road of education and enlightenment....you recieve

your " personal grand prize " - you recieve your entire life ahead of

you with health and mobility. How grand is that? Don't be sad

Sharon....I'm happy for you, you found the pot of gold.

Some day.....that pot of gold will be mine, I know this because I am

on the journey towards it.

I am so happy for you.

Thanks Sandi,

I am very happy too. I love being where I am at. I loved being able

to have Mike drop me off at the beginning of Alii Dr, and me telling

him I would meet him at the restaurant at the end of the drive, so I

could get my protien drink, and meet him for breakfast, and being

able to walk fast to get there before he ordered and not be out of

breath or wondering what I was thinking. It was rejuvinating. I

love being able to snorkle all day long until I was all pruny and

Mike said it was time to get out, and not feel tired - but instead

whined because I had to quit. lol I loved hiking all over the

volcano at nite and not ever wondering when we were going to stop or

how far it was to get back..lol

I love having all this energy and feeling like I am young and vibrant

(okay so I still avoid mirrors and reality- so sue me! lol).

I dont mind the down parts as much these days, I guess it is true,

you can get use to just about everything. lol

But most of all, I just love you guys, the friends and family I have

made thru this journey- that wont end- but continue for as long as it

can...

I fried a chicken breast his morning (drizzled in flour) .... and ate

it with two slices of bacon on a small bun - with cheddar cheese - it

was yummy (had some cheetos with it too - but not very many - cause I

got full really fast!) Now, I'm just drinking my water - I'm going to

make those scales move darnit - you'll probably hear me yelling from

Texas when they finally do!!!

> C-ya

Oh belive me I do! Just thinking about the flour you put on the

chicken makes me fart, not to mention the bread. Anything with white

flour gives me gas until the cows come home. Oh my.

If what you had for breakfast doesnt make things move well, the only

other thing may be Krispy Kreme donuts! lol
