I agree - wow, what a finale! I was on pins and needles the entire time.:eek: Heidi

Thanks for you replies and support. I have decent days - weirdly enough, days that I'm at work and on my feet most of the day. I do my best to do no lifting at ALL - have all my techs lift the dogs/restrain, etc. Clients have been very understanding about my limitations. I also appreciate...

I agree with the thermos - you could do some hearty soups, either homemade or canned (just watch sodium and MSG - some are LOADED) or hummus in a small tupperware bowl with pepper strips/cucumber or pita chips cheese stick and triscuits fruit make a healthy meatloaf and send him with...

I feel your frustration. The college my DH works at has health testing twice yearly- it's actually a great program. They check your chol, glucose and some other bloodwork along with BMI and fat% as well as mental health, eating habits. If you do it twice yearly, you get $50 off the insurance...

Good morning all, It's been a while since I've posted about my back problems, but I do in fact have a lumbar herniated disc. I've had such a trial since early April - started with intense low back pain- virtually debilitating. It actually subsided with PT and oral cortisone. My more recent...

You may want to get a urinalysis done on him to be sure there is no medical reason like a UTI causing his recent digression. A sudden change in urinary habits may be medical vs. behavioral. Bichons are prone to urinary issues - especially bladder stones. So, I'd call your vet and have him...

That's an awesome deal - we have one and DH loves it! Uses it for every race. It's reliable and easy to use. So, just a thumbs up from me in case anyone is on the fence about buying one! Heidi

Losing a pet leaves a hole in your heart...savor your memories with your sweet girl and know you did the best you could for her. Heidi

Whew - what a relief! Super happy to hear the good news, Nan! Heidi

A big congrats to you!!! Great job! It's fun when your clothes don't fit anymore..for the right reason. Have fun shopping for new clothes for new skinny you:) Heidi

Thanks, everyone. Went back to the dr. this am - no MRI for now since I'm classic for a disc and it won't change our course of action at this time. This dr. said no the cortisone if it worried me and made me all funky. Started me on gabapentin (neurontin) for the nerve pain and I start...

Wow, that's crazy and nuts for this time of the year - but beautiful! I really love snow and all that the seasons have to offer. It'll be gone before you know it - then you'll deal with mud..yuck! Snow is so much prettier :) Heidi

Thanks, Nan. You are right, it doesn't make sense...I bet if I ate HFCS, MSG, artificial sweeteners, processed foods, white sugars, and smoked...that I'd be skipping over those trails in Yosmite;) I shall rest for yet another weekend. Thank God for my netbook computer and by all mean, my...

I have been so plagued with health issues lately, and I'm ready to pull my hair out! As I've previously mentioned in other posts, I have an esophageal ulcer which is healing and feeling better (not sure of the cause, neg for cancer and CT scan ok) My primary issue now is I think I've got a...

I agree with many others that tha slimfast bars could be the culprit. I was so gassy and bloated a couple years back- I mean, serious farting problems,lol..I couldn't figure it out until I did a little research on Fiber One bars that i ate every day around 10 am. For me I think it was the...

I love the Clean Eating magazine as well as Women's Health. Oxygen was too chock full of supplement ads which a lot of members of the forum have also complained about. Heidi

Well, glad you are feeling more normal - and with a new purse to boot!;) Awesome! Why won't insurance cover Nexium? That is some expensive shit! My insurance covers a significant amount but I still have to fork out $40/month. Getting old is getting expensive! ANd,I really hear you on...

Ha - sounds like are hubbies are two peas in a pod:eek: Silly men anyway! When I originally went in for my endoscopy, I needed someone to drive me there. Well, of course, I want him to do it. He has a hard time rearranging his schedule (he's an equine vet and has busy mornings) but I...

Wow, well it's nice to see I'm not alone;) Thanks for all your replies - really. Janie - too funny since my DH just got a road bike (although not as nice as his -wow, nice present!) and although fitness is a good obsession, I guess, he has really gotten entrenched in it. You're right...

Nan, I know you had responded on one of my threads but wanted to start a new thread asking you how you are! How did the dr's appt go? Are you feeling better? Heidi
