Dinah! I'm so sorry you have to go through all of that again! YES! The third time is a charm! Wish I lived closer to you--I'd come and cook for you every day! I don't know what I could do to help but if you think of anything I will certainly do it! I trust all will go well. Please take good care of yourself and please take your pain medication. No need to be in pain when there's better living through chemistry. Hang in there DD!!

thanks ya'll. and debbie, thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts. And hopefully, if I'm under enough medication, I'll be able to cop a feel with that surgeon!!! Oh I'm SO bad!!!!

Joyce, now don't you feel bad! Shame on you!!! LOL!!! I'm telling EVERYONE about your bloomers! hehehehehe... But seriously (or not) your idea about a do not disturb sign sounds good!

Billie, Thank you! You are so sweet. Thanks for being such a good moderator around here, cause I know I can be gone and you will take good care of everyone. I'm not sure I'm strong enough for the air bed, but I'll have it here, and if I can't handle it, by golly I'll go HOME! Hopefully I'm planning a little better than I did last time.

I know last time I had MAJOR problems with constipation from the pain meds and I won't do that this time! I just hope I don't get thrown another curve ball I'm not prepared for..... this time, FOOD in the freezer for me to eat, STOOL SOFTNERS for the pain med backlash, and I WILL take the pain meds and not fight it.....

Anything else I should prepare for that I'm not looking for????? any advice will be more than welcomed.

I love ya'll!

Dinah, As Debbie said, I'm so sorry that you have to have surgery again!!!

You know we are here for you! Sending prayers up that you have a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery.

Now get it out of your head that you "did something wrong". I'm sure you didn't do anything to cause this to happen.

I know what you mean about that wait, and the no eatting or drinking for so long. That would be horrible for me as well.

Take care of yourself. The air up bed sounds good, as long as you are really strong enough for that.

Well - Dang it! Here I was, going to blast you for telling everyone on facebook about my bloomers ........ and you go and tell me you have to have surgery again ........... and I just can't blast you, now.

Seriously - you know I'll be sending some extra special prayers your way - I sure hate that you have to go through it again. And I do like the idea of your secret hideaway when you get tired at work. Take a Do Not Disturb sign for the door, too.

Take care - ya know I luvs ya!!

no I don't remember the message DD, you know I wouldn't have left you hanging like that. I was having some of those same log in problems billie spoke of .

I really didn't think I'd lose any weight doing SB but Stewart REALLY wanted to try it so here we are....and we both have lost weight. I don't expect to lose much but when you don't expect much...you don't get disappointed. we will see. I'm a to the letter kind of person...I haven't moved to phase 2 yet....where they allow you a small amount of grains ...and I don't see how I can lose while eating any grain but I didn't expect to lose while eating fudge bars either. He has tips like always eat a protein with a grain b/c it slows the absorption into the blood stream....so we will see. He just really doesn't specify the amounts to start adding back in or what to start with....seems like just a trial and error thing oh well....proof is in the pudding huh.

I haven't told many people this, but on December 2nd, I'm having another ear surgery. I found out on 10/23 that the prosthetic piece they put in my ear in May is growing through my ear drum. From what the surgeon is saying, this is a last ditch attempt at keeping my hearing in my left ear. He will be removing my ear canal, and rebuilding my inner ear for the third time. Third time's the charm, right?

My October appointment was just a follow up from May, but one of the residents looked in my ear and said, "Oh my, your prosthesis is showing" and I was kinda embarrassed! I didn't MEAN for it to be showing! I felt kinda dirty, know what I mean??? LOL!!! I apologized!

Then the surgeon came in (and he's SO cute by the way) and I thought I was going to have to throw my arms around him to comfort him! He looked SO upset! He explained that for some reason the titanium implant was poking through my eardrum, and making it recede. So it's another surgery for me, and he said it would be pretty much like the last one, only with more drainage. He said that he would take out the ear canal, which means that instead of the canal being the size of your pinky finger, it would be the size of your thumb. Now, what the heck that is supposed to mean, I don't know, except I think I need a new hair do to cover it up!

Somehow this time the news didn't hit me as hard as it did the last time. This time I felt like I had done something "wrong" and have been kind of embarrassed to say anything. Its taken me some time to process it, but I'm ok with it. It is what it is, and there isn't a whole lot I can do about it.

So on Tuesday the 2nd, I have to be at the surgeon's office at 9:30 am. I have a hearing test at 9:45, and appointment with the surgeon at 10:45, and then show up at the hospital at 2 for a 3:00 surgery..... All this and I can't eat or DRINK anything after midnight the night before!!! I'm in a panic about that, cause I drink a gallon of water a day AT LEAST!!! And what am I supposed to do for 3 hours before I go to the hospital? (I live about 45 minutes away...) That is my biggest gripe, so maybe he's just doing it to give me something to gripe about.... LOL!

It's an out patient procedure, so I'll be home sometime that night. I don't want anyone worrying, so I'll have someone post when I can contact them, or have DH do it. I've worked it around so I won't have to be back to work till the following Wednesday, so that will give me a week to get back on my feet. And you will probably laugh at this, or tell me I'm a nutcase....

Last time I had this, it didn't sink in that I would need as much "recovery" time, and I came back to work, but couldn't get past about 3 hours before I HAD to lay down, so I'd go home... the next day, I could add a 1/2 hour or so, and so on and so on... I kept telling them here at work that if they would get me a recliner, and let me lay down for 1/2 hour or so, I could probably get through a day.... No dice... So I've got a blow up mattress I'm going to put upstairs in an empty office, so when I can't go any more, I have someplace to go to rest for a while. Good idea, right?

I'm ready to get it over with. Sucks that it had to happen over the holiday's, but if I waited till after the new year, I'd have to meet another $2500 co-pay. So I'll just do it and deal with it.

So there it is... my confession... LOL! Phew!!! Feels good to get this off my chest! Ya'll don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Been There Done That, BOUGHT THE STUPID TSHIRT!!!!

HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Hey CaseyLynn!!!! Where the heck you been? I wrote you an email a while back, did you get it? Miss you around here. How is my Nephew doing? How is that handsome hubby of yours? Are you still GORGEOUS? duh, dumb question! Hope you can stick around a while, and hope SB works for you. Don't know if I could do it, cause I'm so used to what I'm doing now, although I've not lost anything. Haven't GAINED anything, but I'm also not really watching as closely as I should.

Glad to see you post, and hope you will stick around and give us some more of your great insight, and RECIPES!!!

I just plain don't really ever watch TV. For one reason, I can't really get the local stations very often. For another, not much on there worth watching! Most of it is trash!

Angie, I'm with you!
