HOwdy all..

I actually dont have the "runs" per say..what I have is a stomachache. Not like when you know you have to poop or you have stomach flu. It is the feeling of fullness after eating..and nausea all day comes and goes.Its like a pain in there. I am at the point I think its all in my head sometimes. I am going to try to not eat pasta..breads and see how that goes. Get to eating more "real" whole foods. I take a probiotic..maybe i need a different one. I will try the fiberchoice!!

MY SON GOT TO MEET HIS BABY!!

You heard me right..yesterday my son met his ex and the baby Ayva down the street and they went and had lunch. YES they are sneaking..she turns 18 tomorrow. My son said he picked Ayva up and she looked at him and smiled so big!!! They stayed and ate for a while and then he took them home and dropped them off at the corner and she walked home. She told my son she will be glad when they dont have to sneak. I know at any moment..she could change her mind again..but I am so thankful he got to see Ayva. He said mom,..she looks just like me when I was little. I dont know how long it will last..but for now..i am happy. When my son said Ayva smiled..I swear my whole body filled with joy and I cried as hubby held my hand.

Rat - please enlighten me - I haven't ever had a "nice" UTI as you put it. So is Boss an appropriate name for the new kitty? The pool has been wonderful - we've had some maintenance issues for the first time since we dug it 11 years ago - I plan to spend much quality time in it over the next 3 days. Since changing to 4-10s I don't use it much after work - Gracie certainly enjoys it though. Speaking of the pups - they are good - Gracie's ears have been the normal lab problem with the swimming - best remedy we've used is half white vinegar/half water - does an amazing job. Gypsy's name should be BOSS - but she keeps us all in line - darned smart labradoodle that she is. Annie said her Moose is extra smart too. What are you using on Buffy's heat rash? I had been using corona but the vet said he would rather we use simple benadryl cream.

Rat - in your quiet Rat way you slid right past that 100 lb. released mark without any fanfare - LET THERE BE FANFARE!:bravo::bravo::cp::hat::dancer::grouphug:: ::twirly::twirly::twirly:

You have been such an inspiration to me from day one - THANK YOU!

GGG!

ROFL - "Nice" was tongue in cheek when referring to the UTI. Nasty thing. It's going away slowly.

Boss came with his name and since he knows it, it's staying. Of course, as furmama, I have the right to make it sound like babytalk and all cutesy. hehe. I have to watch his furry butt because he'll run outside when the dogs bolt out for morning tinkles. It's so glamorous to see me run out to grab him in my jammies and bed hair (NOT!!). Good thing school is out for summer. There's a bus stop right outside my house!

I use a gentimycin spray the vet gave me on Buffy's tummy rash while keeping it as dry as possible between sprays. Charley likes to lick her tummy and Buffy likes to lick his nasty ears. ew ew and it makes them worse. The spray tastes nasty and the ear stuff for Charley tastes just as bad to Buffy.

Since this is the 2nd time I've gone past the 100 lb lost mark, I let it slip by unnoticed. You are so sweet to notice! I had a horrid high carb day this past week.. OMG.. I'm working on getting protein back up. On high carb days, it'll drop to a shocking 60g (half of what I need!).

I wish you lived closer so I could go swimming with your pups while you were working hehehe.

Hugs,
Ratkity

How much protein in it and even more importantly - how do you know how it tastes?

Hey - doesn't matter that this is the 2nd time - I remember the first time for you - you're still my hero.

Pool is yours - I'll leave the gate unlocked.

HOME SWEET HOME...

The docs let me come home. Sainted husband is being nurse, cook, etc while waiting for home health to kick in. I am so ill, but grateful to be in my own bed. The pup keeps peeking over the edge of the bed to make sure I am here. He slept on the floor by my bed last night.

I lost 10 pounds in the hospital - down to 424. Some of that will come back if I start keeping food down.

CYN _ so glad about your son seeing the little one, hopefully this is just the beginning. Hope tummy is better soon.

RAT - hope your nasty UTI is soon cleared up.

CAROL - thank you

I am weary but will catch up in the next few days.

Blessings, Lindy
