Hi Sheryl, I had this happen to me earlier this year in March! Thankfully, I did not have a bad experience as has been outlined in a prior post, and I did have the scope procedure. It was really not a bad recovery, but I have had a C-section, so nothing compared to that, of course...

Kim, I just finished reading all three books in the series. I really like the series, because its somewhat different than what I normally read. They are very addictive. I am 40 and I did not consider them too young. However, I found that after a while, it was more difficult to identify...

Hi Annette, I live in Plano also. I relocated here after Hurricane Katrina from the New Orleans area. Nice to know there is another Cathe fan nearby. I live in the Legacy/Coit area. One of the reasons we chose Plano is because of the school system. That would be a definite factor...

Is this sale going on at Champion's website? If so, can you post a link? Thanks, Sandra S

Lorrie, Recently, I had my appendix out. I was unusually sick afterwards and was in the hospital for 4 days running a high fever. I started solid foods again very slowly. I was an avid coffee drinker, but I could not stomach coffee because it was so strong. The withdrawals from not...

RE: Do Cardio Coach or iTrain do any jump rope workouts... I know that your question was specific to Cardio Coach or iTrain, but Kathy Smith has an older workout called Aerobox, where there are some jump rope drills. It may give you some ideas on some variations for jumping rope. For example...

Thanks for the input Carolyn. Your incisions sound exactly like mine, so the information was a big help. I am also upset at the notion of not working out for so long as summer is approaching! Thanks for telling me about the hernia possibility as well. I have been doing a few things...

Thanks Laurie for giving me a good laugh with the "enema" comment! Although it does hurt to laugh a little. Your procedure sounds more like my recuperation from a c-section from the birth of my daughter. Now, that did take me several weeks to recuperate... Actually, I will have three...

Hi all! I don't post often, but I lurk a lot... Anyway, last Saturday I had excruciating pain in my abdomen and ended up in the ER. They determined that it was my appendix and promptly removed it. I had some complications afterward with a persistent fever, and I just got home yesterday...

Oh boy do I know what you mean... I had a stomach virus late last week, and although I did not actually throw up, I was extremely nauseous (sp?) for two to three days. As I started resuming 'normal' foods, I found that everything I ate either gave me heartburn, or made me have extreme gas...

There is an older jump rope workout with Kathy Smith and Michael Olijade (sp?) called Aerobox. It's pretty good and you can do the jump rope sections of the workout with or without the jump rope. It was recently released by Kathy on DVD. The remainder of the workout is traditional boxing...

Laura, Hugs and blessings to you...Please take care of yourself.. Sandra S.

Hi Kathryn, I am a lurker, but I read many of your posts. Just wanted to send my condolences and thanks for sharing.... Take care! Sandra S.

Hi Gayle, There is a book called "Eating Well Through Cancer" that is written by an author named Holly Clegg. I am familiar with her because she lives in Southeast Louisiana where I used to live. I don't have this particular cookbook, but I have many of her others that are very good. I...

B, I would second a lot of what Claude has to say, because I have had a career path that included internal audit. I found internal audit to be a great way to learn a lot about various areas of the company (I worked in bank internal audit. I ended up specializing and going into the...
