    Hahahaha, We took pics to update our Bios on our work homepage. I'm down 10 lbs so far (the pulmonologist weighed me today :)). In 4 more months I hope to refresh the image because there will be a whole lot less of me :-). I really hope you have a very special and safe Thanksgiving! Thank you for all of your great advice! Go Pack! -Peter

    just wanted to say hi!

    Thanks for the hug and thoughts. You have also been on my mind. I love when you respond to a post because it is usually just what I would say. Things here are OK. I guess I'm still enjoying remission. I think some of my ills are just because I'm getting old; can't blame it all on the Crohn's :). I'm still lugging around 15 extra pounds. My Cholesterol is elevated, especially my LDLs. I'm supposed to be watching my diet and losing weight so I stopped eating meat (except fish) in an effort to cut saturated fat from my diet. I've been eating more low fat/fat free dairy products to keep my protein intake up and I've been noticing a lot more gas and bloating and constipation so now I'm like "what the hell am I supposed to eat!" I'm already gluten free. I should weigh 98 pounds but fate will not allow it! Wow, I did not realize how negative this all sounds!

    I do have some good stuff. Working on making a move so the house will be on the market in January. I'm enjoying the purge of junk and looking froward to a new place and fresh start.

    i was going to chime in on that horribly annoying ridiculous klein-schmine post, but you and sue said it all and saved my blood pressure from sky rocketing, so thanks.

    SOOOO cross about that bloody "Do you really want to be well" post. Glad you feel the same. 5 months for goodness sake!!!! I joined this forum to get away from that kind of crap.

    Thanks again for sharing your experiences. Hope you're not in too much pain.

    Brett and the Twinkies what a week! I'm not sure we would have beaten GB if we didn't have BF. Hope you are well! -p

    Ohhhhh yeah! That was an amazing game to watch. Unfortunately I won't be able to call on any of my Michigan customers for a while....but it's worth the sacrifice!

    Your posts make me laugh, and it's nice to still laugh about this stuff. You're v feisty and I love it!!!

    I don't think I've ever given someone virtual Chicken Soup before :-) They need a virtual Martini hug hahahaha.

    I found those pics of Ellen the other day, I forgot when she tweaked her leg a couple of years ago! I had to carry her upstairs at bed time :) The pink cast was a nice touch. Cathy and I helped with Greyhound Pets of America - Northern Virginia Chapter for a couple of years; except when we got Ellen the "pack" became a little anti-social (1 male, 1 female domination/protective etc.) and we got scared to bring them together to the social events. I'll bet Dhani spinning was a sight with flying little soldiers hahahaha. My Male Kirby spins like that when you first get home and he's excited to see you!! Those are great memories. I can imagine how sad you are now (I love my pups so BIG) but someday I hope you and your husband find the right pup at the right time. They really are therapy on 4 legs, I know I couldn't live without them!

    I'm good, I've been anticipating Monday when I go back for my follow up doppler at 3 mos. I'm keeping my expectations low but it still makes me nervous. (still have a fair amount of swelling and pain) I think the psychological aspects of this are so much more difficult, the brain can run wild sometimes (at least mine :-) If there is any diminishing of the clot the Interventional Radiologist will consider taking out the IVC filter. I guess I really want it out because of some of the studies I've read, even if I end up on Coumadin forever. We'll see.

    In the interim we will have good Football intrigue to distract us, and besides Fall is such a wonderful time of year! I really hope you are feeling well, especially after Monday Night, hee hee. -Peter
