Topic: RE: dr thomas k byrne's patients..question???

I didn't use medicaid but It doesn't take very long to get an appt. You might want to attend some of the pre-op groups before you go so you will have them out of the way. A schedule is on the MUSC bariatric website.
Good luck!

And this is soooooooo much fun.......how? Geez, maybe I'm missing something and not seeing the enjoyment and pleasure people get from puking, cramping, dizziness and lets not leave out the blisters and chaffing, LMFAO. Sorry, I don't mean to rain on your parade, I know you get pleasure out of the fact that you were able to complete running around the world (70 miles is around the world isn't it)? I guess I am jealous that you can and want to do it and I don't and can't. Hope you feel better and get caught up on your rest. Take care of those blisters, you don't want them to get infected. OH, and....................................

you ROCK!

Topic: Like Susan Boyle; IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS!!!!!

I was reading an article about; Career Lessons from Celebritie

Here's one about Susan Boyle AND I THINK IT IS AWESOME!!!!! And I do agree "It's never too late to fulfill your dreams!!!!!!

Ginger

Lesson: It’s never too late to fulfill your dreams.

Susan Boyle had a difficult start to life. She was born oxygen deprived, was later diagnosed with learning disabilities, and suffered incessant name calling as a child. She lived in her family’s Council Estate (the UK’s version of social housing) for the bulk of her life and was chronically unemployed. She almost didn’t audition for Britain’s Got Talent, fearing she was “too old and that it was a young person’s game." It’s a good thing she did. Her audition stunned the judges and audiences alike. Although she did not win the competition (she came in second), Ms. Boyle has seen a rapid rise to global fame and is now recording her first album. Sometimes, just when you think you’ve missed the boat, you get a second chance to turn your life — and career — around. Don’t ever let your age or past experiences stop you from trying.

Topic: 24 Hour Hinson LAke Running Classic---I RAN 70 miles!!!

OK-I need to get some sleep, up for 33 hours...but I DID IT!!

I stopped running at 22hrs 30 minutes but I did 46 laps for 69.92 miles! I asked the Race DIrector, I cannot do another 1.5 mile lap, I ran the last one at a 15 minute pace....how do I get .08 because I am NOT going home and posting I did 69.92. He was really cool, he said run down to the end of the road and back ...I of course walked and BAM 70 miles at a 19:20 avg minute

One bad thing-besides my blisters and chafing EVERYWHERE, about mile 40 I went to go sit on a bench, feeling lightheaded. When I went to sit down, I was going DOWN to pass out. A veteran caught me, helped me up. I had nausea, stomach cramps, and light headed...eletrolyte deficiency. I was dringing lifewater, and trying to get salt in. A VERY nice woman came to my aid and gave me electrolyte tablets. I took 3, walked some more, made it back to my camp, she gave me half her bottle

I have to say--runners in marathons, triathletes, bikers...all REALLY good people. ESPECIALLY the veterans (which we have some of on this site)

I am going to bed-one of my toenails is floating on a blister-yuck!

Good night!

The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.....John Bingham aka The Penguin
