Topic: Good Morning!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend.  Today is frigid out there. I hope you are all staying warm.

It's been a while since I have posted an affirmation.  So I hope it inspires someone today.

Today I set goals I know I can reach. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. The goals I set today for myself will help me in the days to come. 

I  am worthy, I am lovable and I am complete.
I love who I am and I love my life.

I am strength. I overcome my obstacles and find peace within.

Have a great day on purpose!

Cira

Topic: RE: Distended bowel,,, what can you tell me about it?
Last year in June when I had the hernia in the mesentery wall. I had a CT scan I wasn't diagnosed yet with the hernia but they said I had a distended bowel. When Dr. A checked out the films he said it wasn't distended terribly and that was not causing the pain I was claiming to have. When they did the exploratory surgery is when the saw that they needed to repair the hernia.  I just had some backed up stool.  I hope that is the case for you since you are not feeling any pain.

Did you call the doctor on call?

Verizon has gotten really rediculous. The benefits are great and the pay I miss that terribly but I now have my sanity and good health.... lol I definitely do not miss the stress.  When I went back to work for them Last March I busted my behind taking that three month training.  Passing all exams and commuting 1 1/2 hours from Charles Town, WV to Silver Spring MD at the Chesapeake building they didn't give a crap that I ended up in the hospital with this horrible pain.  Since I was only 3 1/2 months with them and had not finished the probation period they let me go.   Oh well better for for sure!  lol

I am sorry it is that bad over there.  I know they have been giving packages from left to right.  How long have tyou been working for them?

Just for now make sure to stay away from gassy foods just in case.

Why don't you talk to the doctor on call for Dr. A?  He or she will be able to advise you until you are able to get checked out.

here's the thing,, I have NO pain, or discomfort at all. My primary says she can't believe I have no symptoms!

VZ is worse than ever, we can't get ANYTHING we need. I am talking my 1st level tried to get us a CALANDER,, it got disapproved, she was told (by a director) to go to a web site where she could get FREE calanders,, that site is blocked by VZ. I can't even get PAPER for our copier-fax machine. Last ream went in Friday, when it is gone,, oh well  1st levels have been put on notice,, there will be no more RIF offers, get your numbers or be fired. Atleast two 1st levels that I know of by fact are now medicated by doctors. I do not know of ONE 1st level that is anywhere close to being happy with their job. It is horrible there now. It sucks that my benefits are great and I have a family to support, I would be gone in a second.

Hi Tom,

Getting a distended bowel the reasons can vary. It can be food related, stress related, IBS or even Chrones disease.
You can be eating foods that causes a lot of gas and your colon gets irritated.  In order to find out what is causing your distended bowel your doctor will probably have write a food journal to see if the foods you eat are causing it.  Also when people have this condition stress will make this flare up.

Sometimes a scan can show a distended bowel and when your doctor does a further examination it might show that in fact it was not distended but just full of stool.

At any rate I hope it is nothing serious and just the latter.

Keep us posted.

Take care,

Cira
Stress??? Check, after all look where I work, 

That info you mention is just about all I can find out by searching Google.

Thanks for asking. My acupuncturist told me about that book. I got it from the library & forgot it was in the car & had to return it.  Now there is a waiting list.  LOL ! Your idea sounds great ! Let me know please !

Topic: RE: Friday's topic: Looking forward to the weekend
I hope you had a great time yesterday. Enjoy your date with hubby.
Nothing but school work planned all weekend here. Tonight hubby is cooking Chicken Kiev and we are watching a movie together.  Last night he cooked a cheeseburger pie and watched Despicable me with the kids. Then tomorrow is church and Gianna sings in the choir then back home to the grind of getting things ready for the week.

Take care,
