I think we must be in a point of this journey that is some sort of turning point or something! Seems we (though in differnt stages) are all in the same boat. But how exciting for your son!!! And at such a young age.....you should pat yourself on the back as well for that! Donna

Cyndi, {{{{{Hugs}}}}} I know tht has to be tough....doing as much as you have. And I am actually feeling some of that now with dh. I am not suppose to do any housework around here but the dishes from last night (and now this am as well) are sitting there. We are going out of town tomorrwo and my mom will be here and there is laundry and the bathrooms are disgusting and I have asked and asked dh ERRRRRRRR. I am tempted to very slowly do the dishes....but then that will be the turning point and he will do nto more dishes. I just know that when he get shoem nothing will get done.................oh it is so frustrating. I know he is working during the day but hello under normal cir****tances I would be and woudl spend my off days doing all around here. Did he clean anything this weekend while off..............um no. Started the laundry but that that and I finished it monday. ERRRRRRR. Add that to the frustration that I am not losing and the hormone shift, and well it makes for a CRABBY person. LOL! Ok, enough whining! Donna

Well you an add me to that PM list I am always up to TALK that is for sure. I still have a ways to go but I am struggling jsut the same. And right now when I am home, unable to do much cuase of yet another surgery, I am seeing hte scles stall and do not like it!!!!!Do you have any kids of message service, MSN, Yahoo, AOL cause now no matter which one you use you can use that one to chat with all three. I have mine turned on all the time right now and am always up to chat. Donna

Cyndi, I know what you mean about being disgusted with OH. I have only really been reading our May board lately. Take care, Betsy

Sue, I think I know what you mean at times. I don't post very often and I feel like the stepchild, lol. I am so busy with everything as is everyone else. We do all need to stick together and support each other. I get bummed because I never had as much to lose as everyone else and I hear everyone one losing so much. I know my surgeon told me I would lose slower because I wasn't as "big" or had as much to lose, but I forget. I get cranky because I want to keep up with everyone else too! I know we are all different and I shouldn't compare, it's just hard not to. Hang in there and we will all get there!! Have a good day!! Betsy
