    Urinary sling procedure

    My Mom had that procedure done four years ago and it worked great for her. She had the surgery on a Thursday and went home the next day. I remember that she could have went home that evening after the surgery, but the Dr. wanted her to have a bowel movement before she was released (sorry if...

    I think credit card cos. are going insane!

    Yes, I was just reading about this- apparently, the plan is to raise rates for even the best credit customers, as a way to recoup all they have lost/will lose from bad customers. What a great "Thank You!" for being responsible with my money and credit... grumble, grumble.....

    Jon and Kate plus 8

    I admit, I've never seen much of the show, just a few clips, but I've heard how she acts toward him on the show. However, I was feeling a little sorry for her... until I read the story in People magazine. I don't know if it was creative editing or what, but she comes across as a totally whiny...

    More Update on Adrian

    Janie, I haven't been to these boards in forever, but for some reason checked today and saw your post. My niece (10) was diagnosed with Down Syndrome a few weeks after she was born. She was almost two months premature, so because of her size and tiny features, it was difficult to immediately...

    Holy Crow! Webkinz Love Puppy!!!

    It's probably so high priced just because it's retired and must be last year's Valentine promo. I'm sure there will probably be a new Valentine animal out this year. Just my thought. We are Webkinz-obsessed here, too. ;)

    Please help? Baby shower ideas?

    This isn't really a game, but it was the most memorable thing for me at my baby shower. My SIL gave everyone a sheet of paper with the following information (or something to this effect; it was 11 years ago so I can't remember the specifics and I'm too lazy to go look through my son's baby book...

    Is it this? http://www.claires.com/product.asp?color=pink&id=4857 I picked up one for my DD this year. My niece has one that was similar that was just a doorbell that can be hung outside her bedroom door, but when I asked at Claire's, this is what they gave me. She can leave an...

    ElbowTendonitis from kettlebells?

    Not yet. I have had TE in both elbows, and was worried about the kettlebell workouts making it flare up, too, but so far so good. I make sure to always keep a slight bend in my elbows, never locking them out. I also keep my kettlebell workouts to no more than twice a week. I also stretch my...

    Has anyone here had Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

    Yes! I had sinus surgery eight years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever done! I had constant sinus infections and finally went to an ENT for a CT scan. It revealed a deviated septum (more than likely caused from fracturing my nose in a skiing accident almost 10 years prior), and a...

    runners CW-X tights

    Yes! I have them, but in the full length style. They are really nice and have a supportive feeling to them. My only complaint is that the criss-cross panel seaming hits me right behind the knee so it becomes uncomfortable rubbing there during a long run. Almost feels like it hinders the bending...

    Ann- Ann- I did continue with lower body weights when my Tennis Elbows (I had it in both) were at their worst.... HOWEVER.... watch your Deadlifts! My physical therapist told me to always keep a slight bend in my elbows when lifting a heavy barbell (and in everyday activities like carrying...
