I am thankful that I have a job. I need to remind myself of this, because on days like today that I want to scream at the top of my lungs I just need to remember that there are many people out there searching and hoping to find any work at all.

Topic: RE: I need a recommendation for a small intimate spot

There is a Melting Pot in Columbia and Annapolis. The booths (especially if just for 2) are VERY intimate and I found they had very heavy mood lighting.  Plus overall it is a neat/different experience. It is pricey especially since we cannot eat as much but if you are looking for something different...it works :)

Welcome home, Linda!!!!  And welcome to the Loser's Bench!  I know you don't feel very welcomed right now, but trust me, it WILL get better.  I'd say the first 6 weeks or so are the roughest, but as long as you're doing what you're supposed to, you'll be okay.

The Mack truck feeling will go away as well - being home will help with that.  Just remember that you've been through a major surgery and it's going to take some time for your body to heal.

If you need to talk, vent or cry, just give me a call.

Hang in there!!!

Hugs and love,

Tia

Topic: Homef from hospital
Hi all,

I was released from the hospital and arrived home around 5:30pm.  I had a bit of a challenge with extreme high blood pressre and stayed in recovery until 5 pm on Monday.  I think the B/P was elevated because they could not get the pain under control.  Once the pain was control I was up walking evey 2 hours through out the night.  I am currently walking through the house sipping protien and ice chips in between.  I feel like I wa**** by a mack truck .  Thank you for all of the well wishes.  By the way I  gained 14 pounds while it the hospital.  My legs look like pin cushions.

Julie,

I am so glad that your tests came back good ****  I hope you are doing well.
I know all so well how you are feeling. The very first since is the hardest.  I can't say that the feeling will go away but it does gets easier to handle it. It is 7 years since I lost my mother to Cancer and Holidays and Mother's day are never the same for me.  I miss her as much as I miss her from the first year.  I am here for you if you need to talk. 

Hugs and much prayers coming your way.

Topic: RE: Tuesday Exercise-Im pumped, are you with me?!
Congrats on the one pound.  I was so busy yesterday that I didn't get a chance to post.  But yesterday I did 1 hour of Brazillian Butt lift exercise.  These exercises are killers.  I am am so sore since I stopped doing them for 2 months.  I just restarted and man oh man I can't even sit. lol  But it's good pain and soon it will be all gone.
I also did my usual 1 hour walk with 5 pound weights on each hand and 2 pound weights on each ankle.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
