Hello everyone
I don't want to put the cart before the horse but this morning I woke this morning and for the first time in weeks there was no pain and no pressure...could this mean #4 could be working? I don't know but I am really hoping.
For those of you not on Facebook. I went to get my eyeballs checked yesterday and I don't have pinkeye!!! Yeah!!! He said my constant red eyes are from a combination of eye strain (I was in need of a new prescription badly I'm now far sighted too) and inflammation, and extremely dry eyes. He gave me some drops for the inflammation and the dry eyes. I also decided to get contacts!!! This was my first time and I got them in really quick. And wow I really was blind...I can see again!!! I guess you never know how bad it is till you get something fixed.
So today there are no errands to run nothing on my to do list. So I am going to relax and take it easy today.
Christine- I was just wondering. How do you alter your diet to make sure you don't get another obstruction? I do hope they get this thing fixed and you are up and running around in time for the holidays.
Lisa- enjoy your family
Well have a good day everyone see ya later all.

I have upped my intake of fiber in my die****er and Metimucal. I am constantly looking for and eating high fiber foods. You see the obstructions have been in the same place each time. The adhesions have been causing the blockages and they need to be cleaned up so it hopefully does not get this bad again in the future.
The reality of adhesions is that they will happen again. It is the body's natural healing process and are basically internal scar tissue. So, you can think of this a not being a FIX but preventative medicine. Think of it on the lines of keeping your dryer lint screen cleaned out so your appliance works properly and fires do not occur. Some people have to go in for a clean up numerous times because their body keeps making the scar tissue and it causes problems.
I have looked back on what has been happening to me for years and realize that they have been forming in there for a long time. I have been feeling my insides move around and cause me discomfort frequently. The bowel is getting wrapped around the adhesions during the body's natural digestion process and it is like a kinked hose - waste gets backed up. It is amazing that I have not had a problem before this. I am saddened that my one surgical group did not help me but feel that I am in better hands with my WLS surgeon.

Five pounds of rib tips and a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce in the crock pot. Three and a half pounds of neck bones will likely make the 6 quart and the 4 quart pots of soup.
Bang, bang, bang... the steam is on in the building.
Emptied the storage unit in Hoffman Estates yesterday so slept in until 7am this morning.
Time for a second cup of coffee.
Glad for healthy progress in the group. Continued prayer for all but right now I guess especially for Liv, Nancy, Christine and Crystal.

So you have been forgiven?
Hi all,
Crystal, I am glad you are feeling better!
I went to a dinner party last night and got sick! Din't eat much and I don't know what the hek happened. I had a couple bites of lemon chicken, mashed patatoes and some steamed veeggies. I had to go outside and walk around for about 45 minutes before throwing up. I never thre up until this week and it has happened twice!
Good news! I am overweight! I weighed in today at 224.7.
Have a great weekend!

We have the circus in town today and we will walk over to the park and enjoy that at 2pm. The Kelly Miller Circus comes to town every two years. I am still watching my hummers. I see these little birds shivering out there It is amazing that they know when to head south. I read that their instincts are connected to the waning sunlight.
Tomorrow I see the hematologist at 1030. I have my questions to write down still but that will get done eventually.
I need to get back inside because it is a little chilly in the 3 season room even though the sun is shining brightly. It will take a while for it to warm up out here.
