Nope, things haven't changed up in the North Wilmington office. I've also seen Dr. Peters up there.

Like I said I have no problem with Edward (Dr. Irgau's NP), I do have a problem however with the other woman... Can't think of her name Dr. Wynn's NP. She has really short hair. She has horrible bedside manner, and just is over unpleasant.

I've now spoke with two lap band patients who said she spent 15 to 20 minutes poking and proding them trying to do a fill but could never find the port and they ended up leaving with no fill.

I was told upfront today @ CHRIAS when I made my first post-op appointment that I would be meeting with an NP when I have my first follow-up visit. I'm fine with it. Nurse practitioners are really the backbone of healhcare, I think, and they're trained to notice things that might be out of the ordinary so you can see a doctor if you need to.

Basically, they're only looking for complications. They'll go down a list of possible symptoms and if you're good, then you're good. If you have symptoms, you probably should have called the surgeon anyway, but the NP should be able to properly escalate the situation if he/she comes across them.

Hi Bronwen,
My family had a great Easter!  This year my daughter, 14, actually asked me to limit the candy and wanted a Lacrosse stick instead.  No problem there!
We went to my sisters in Maryland.  Food was great!  Too many leftovers.
My sister had the eggs already hidden when we arrived.  My son said doesn't she know we are too old for an Easter egg hunt,  (she then mentioned she put money in most of the eggs) then he yelled I'M FIRST!!!
It was a great day!
Judy

Happy Easter to you too!  (a day late... but still the same!)  My family has our Easter dinner the evening before so that others may go to the in-laws on Easter!  This year we went to Dutch Heritage, an Amish Restaurant, and feasted!  OMGosh!  I love this place! 

The DH and I went to church Easter morning and sat with very dear friends of ours who we only get to see when they are home to visit their parents.  Then we spent the day enjoying the sun, outdoors and our fur-babies!  I roasted a turkey breast, had mashed potatoes, gravy and succotash!  Finised it off with a scrumptious piece of pumpkin bread from the Amish restaurant. 

Now back to school... spring break is over.  Bummer

Ah maybe I'm wrong, I thought one of the girls said only Irgau goes there, maybe I misunderstood.

Has that recently changed? I've had appointments with Dr. Peters there a few times.

Yes Dr. Irgau is the only one that goes to the N. Wilmington office.

For all that celebrate it, I hope you had a happy one!

We do the Easter Bunny, but not church.  My DD loved her Easter Basket this morning, and I got to see that she completely takes after me - the bunny's ears went first.  After lunch, we took a long walk to Bellevue State Park where we played on the swings and slides (yes, me too!).  I got to feel the sun on my bare arms and legs, because the weather was soooo beautiful!  After walking home, I told her that we'd walked a little over 3 miles, not counting the playing.

Dinner was nice - I got a spiral-sliced ham, fixed a sweet potato casserole, macaroni & cheese, and cole slaw.  We're going to have leftovers for a week!  We're all watching a movie now, just enjoying being together.  How about you?  Was it a good one?
