Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Melita! Good to hear from you! I can't wait to go to the wedding. I went shopping tonight and found some dresses. I am not too thrilled with them but they fit and they are comfortable. I am looking quite 'barrel-esque' lately and don't like the way anything fits. I hate this extra weight. I got the dresses at mervyn's. Then we went to walmart and I found the cutest top only it was a maternity top but it fit so good and it covers all the right areas! I found a cute pair of stretch denim pants to wear with it. I am carrying all this weight on my stomach! I look pregnant so I may as well go for the maternity clothes-eh??? I also got a really cute peasant top that will go with my khaki capris. I spent a lot more on it than I normally would. I may end up taking it back. maybe...... Hope you are feeling better. This can be a drag-huh?? Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hi Melita... Well, I guess you and I spent a similar weekend. I was like a wet dishrag all weekend. Some of it caused by wet and humid weather, I'm sure...I always hurt more then. Art took me to an American Legion dinner (very good...surf and turf) but I was so embarrassed...it was warm in the room, lots of people, and I sat there having to fan my face with a paper plate all during the dinner! My head was literally dripping! I wanted to just slip under the table and stay there until Art was finished eating! I hate this sometimes. I think the Tamoxifen is making the sweating problem much worse. People were looking at me. I could not wait to get out of there. It'll be a while before I go anywhere in those weather conditions again. No one else in the room was even warm! Okay...now we've both vented and whined a bit. Thank God for all of you!

I've been in bed mostly all day waiting for the season premiere of the Sopranos. I have to tape it because I know I'll probably fall asleep right before the end. This weekend was kinda a downer, my legs have been bothering me alot lately. I haven't been able to figure out why. It possibly could be due to getting more exercise by walking but not doing any walking on the weekends. So I have been trying not to eat myself into a coma. Also kinda bummed about $$ since they reduced my state disability check but my paycheck still doesn't quite cover all my bills. Yuck I hate this limbo. I know I can't go back full time yet and I don't want to jump the gun, but 4 days a week is not enough $$ to pay my bills. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I should be happy that I can work I know. But I just gotta have a little whine with all of this laying around I've been doing oday.Anyway, my nephew turned 13 this month and my brother says he is now taller than me. Egads, he is going to be as big as his father (6ft 4) in no time. I even think that his voice is starting to change. How cute. My sister-in-law is having the gastric bypass surgery on Nov 4 and she is still acting like it will be no big deal to eat afterwards. Little does she know. But then again I figured that she does know very little and likes it that way. Well whatever.Baseball game went well - Giants lost - but won 2 out of 3 against their rivals the LA Dodgers. My Yankees are still #1.Well I'm gonna end now because I really don't have anythng else to say. Could be I'm bored to tears.....and depressed as usual. So back to the boob-tube.LaterMelitaSue- Sorry to hear about the insurance co's being knuckleheads. Hopefully another door will open that will be much better.Leila - Yeesh, you just can't go anywhere w/out making a stir. Glad to hear that everyone is fine. That must have been very scary.Zanna/Vicki - Have fun at the wedding. I'll be thinking good thoughts.Dawn - Glad to hear that your hubby got the job. Also happy to hear you feeling much better about things.Lynn - Totally psyched that your CK's are so low.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Dawn, I have gained 45 since February. I hate it too. I weigh more than I ever have in my life. I bought 2 dresses. One turquoise and one black with flowers. They are those pull over ones that are roomy that you could wear to just lounge in or even to church. I should keep them for when I am huge......ugh. I have been asked when I am due whether I wear maternity clothes or not, so I may as well look cute. The maternity clothes are much cuter than the plus size clothes anyway. Why is that??? I am going to design a line of 'steroid clothes' that include chin straps. LOL..... Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hi, Melita. Glad you stopped in and posted. I enjoy your updates, especially where you only post once or twice a week. Good for you for having a lazy day yesterday!! Probably just what the Dr. ordered. So, how were the Sopranos? I think I must be the only person alive who hasn't seen that show....not even 1 episode. I hate that I can't get HBO on our Starchoice dish! I would also love to see Sex in the City. Bummer! Both shows are highly rated. Another show I've never seen is the Osbournes. Not sure if I would like it, but it seems to be soooo popular. I think your SIL will indeed be in for a shock if she thinks she will be able to eat like normal after having the gastric bypass surgery. From what I've heard, you're only able to tolerate like a couple tbsp. of food at a time. Lynn would know more about it than I do. I would have to think LONG and HARD before doing that. I love to eat too much. Anyway, take care of yourself. Hugs, Dawn Melita wrote: > Hi Everyone - > Just thought I would give a holla!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Good news about the dresses/clothes!! I would definately keep the peasant top (I love those) and maybe just settle on 1 dress. How many did you buy for heaven's sakes?? LOL. I know what you mean about maternity clothes. Every time I pass them, I am so tempted to look because they're nice and roomy but I never do. Guess I'm too scared of someone asking when I'm due. LOL. Yes, I hate the barrel look as well. This all just sucks!! I went to the Pulmonologist today (Vicki would be so happy!!) and had a good appointment. He basically feels (as do I) that my further lung problems (not my asthma) is due to all the weight I've gained since being on Pred. He weighed me (double ugh!!) and I've gained 55 lbs. since being dx'd. last Dec. Isn't that RIDICULOUS??? I desperately need to get this weight off. Not sure if I'll be able to do anything on 7.5 mg., but I'm going to give it another shot. I know I couldn't do anything while on 10 mg., but maybe 7.5 will be the magic number. I sure hope so!! I don't want to be super skinny, I just don't want to be obese! Ick....I HATE that word. Tastes bitter just saying it. LOL.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hi, Annette. I can relate to the sweating problems. No fun!! You should get one of those little hand held fans for occasions that you just can't get cool. I saw one the other day and it was a keychain. I tried it and it really worked! I'm still kicking myself for not buying it. LOL. Sounds like such a nice evening out, though. I'm so glad you have such a dear friend like, Art. How are you healing??

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Sherri, I hate that feeling too. I can go and go for a week or so and then need two weeks to rest up. I hate it too. I have a ton of stuff to get done before my parents get here. They are in Seattle right now and are heading down here next week. I also need to make the cover for that couch and 3 halloween costumes.....ugh....clean the house, wash windows, caulk the window trims, blah, blah, blah........my mind is spinning. I need a nap! hehe. Take care, Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I think that we all were workaholics at one time and this is God's way of making us rest now. But it is murder on the brain that doesn't want to stop!!! Zanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 I started the methx last Friday so this is my first week. I hope I see a difference pretty soon because the Pred sure didn't make me feel any better! Vickie Welcome home, Vickie. Hope you didn't overdo things at your daughter's house. When do you start the Methx.? I know you've told us, but I forget. I really hope you have good results. It will probably take a couple weeks to notice a difference.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks Lynn....yes it is hard to wait...wish it would happen faster, but I will try to behave myself and not overdo--which is really hard because I have SO much to get done. Sigh. Oh well, I always wanted to simplify my life, so now my body is doing it for me. Vickie Vickie, My experience with methx is it takes a few weeks to see a difference. Maybe you'll be different...but just in case, do not be upset or have really high expectations right away. It will happen, just let it work. I know it's hard, feeling as poorly as you do...all these meds have to get into your system for a bit and start working.
