    Packing for hospital

    Hi TilieS I was in the hospital over Mothers Day in 2010 for emergency appendicitis. I of course didn't have my CPAP machine so the hospital provided one for me. It was difficult getting the mask just right (you know what I mean) and had my son bring me my mask from home. It made an...

    Drinking Liquids, burping and sippy cups

    Are we talking about the same sippie cups as the toddler sippie cups? I have a dozen or so for my grand kids who have pretty much outgrown them. I was going to donate them but now I'm glad I haven't yet. Grandma gets to use them. The kids will love that :p

    Life after surgery

    Hi GCooper. You must be so very proud of how far you've come and what you've accomplished. I'm sort of sorry for the loss of your job, you must have really loved it because you sound like you are mourning it like the loss of a loved one. I don't know why you were fired but that is past. Decide...

    Newbie

    Hi Jim Welcome and congratulations on your amazing weight loss. I'm so glad you are here to seek advice and probably pass on some of your own wisdom. I found an article with a 5 day diet plan for when we hit a plateau or start to gain during our weight loss journey. It is titled "GASTRIC BYPASS...

    Things I wished I knew

    I appreciate knowing that my post nasal drip could be the cause of an upset stomach. I usually end up with a sore throat. Good to know. Thanks Karenina.

    Packing for hospital

    That's good advice. I've never been in the hospital when I needed medicine on a daily basis. But now that you explained it to me I can see that my meds might not be appropriate after surgery and the meds that are given to me while in the hospital may interact with my meds from home. This way...

    Packing for hospital

    Good to know, I'm glad I asked, I thought it was a dumb question. Like obviously I should bring my prescriptions. Why would they flush them. I don't understand why. J:o

    Looking for a Good Support Group

    Welcome to this wonderful group of people. I've been here for about 2 weeks and have loved it. The first time was like reading a mystery novel, I just couldn't put it down and read until early morning. I've restricted my time to a few times a day for a quick look see & reply. I'm lucky...

    Packing for hospital

    I hope you don't mind but, I shared this post with my grand kids. They thought it was so funny we were LOAO. My granddaughter likes the lady-like "fluffing" the best. My grandson likes your name. Thanks for the laughs.

    9 Days and a wake till surgery

    LOL. I don't recall if you have children StnkerBelle, but I'd share you are in the 'nesting' phase of childbirth. I've been feeling the same way. Trying to anticipate what will need to be done and if I'll be able to do it. Hoping to free up the mundane duties so I can concentrate on my...

    Packing for hospital

    New to Group, need help!

    My Daddy was from Texas and your last supper would have been Heaven to him. He's probably enjoying it right now up there. He would've included biscuits and gravy too.
