DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[UtahMama]

Hi Peeps,

I'm sneaking on my PDA right now to let you guys know that I am in the hospital and have been here since Tuesday night.

You guys may recall on Tuesday when I posted saying that I was on crutches because I had a pulled hamstring.

Well, my SO brought me kicking and screaming to the emergency room on Tuesday night. They did an ultra sound and discovered that I had a blood clot in my leg. So, they admitted me and have also since discovered another clot in my lung.

I am not sure when I'm getting out of the hospital, but I hope I'm not here much longer. I WAS supposed to leave for WDW next Sunday (12/16) for my birthday trip, but now the doctors in the hospital are not sure that I will be able to travel, so I may have to completely cancel my trip which SO TOTALLY SUCKS!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally thankful for my LIFE (because had I waited much longer it could have killed me) but that doesn't take away the hurt I feel at the thought of cancelling my trip. And, you only turn 30 once, right?

Anyway Peeps, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you guys posted.

Sweetie!!!!

WDW will still be there...and you can wear a birthday button any time. That being said, I hope you recover!!! I don't know the treatment for blood clots but thank God they found it (them) in time! THAT would be a sucky way to die! Look at the bright side... (leave it to me to find a bright side), NO one gains weight on hospital food! See? This little vacation (hee!) has a cool side.

You're totally in our prayers!!!! PLEASE keep us up to date!

i thought you guys would get a kick outta this.

most of you know one of my best friends is also my fitness trainer (anna a/k/a wonderwoman). you also know that i helped her with her wedding and reception recently. well, i bought her a gift certificate at a local winery/spa for a full body massage for her birthday back in may. she hasn't used it yet. she wanted to do something for me for helping her so much with her wedding/reception, so she got the bright idea of buying me the same thing so we could go together sometime the week after christmas. she called today to make the appointment and they mentioned to her that because we were using their facilities, that we were welcome to also use their walking trails, exercise facilities, showers and have complimentary tea and snacks at 4:00. so she calls me all excited and tells me that she made the massage appointment for 2:00 so that we could get there early and work out in the their exercise room before the massage and then have tea afterwards. she's like, "doesn't that sound FUN??????????" um.......no! we're supposed to be relaxing and the girl wants to work out during our spa day. WTH???? i love the girl but sometimes i don't understand her! i'm going along with it though......it can't hurt, right?

DH just got home from work with 3 tubes full of chocolate covered sunflower seeds.

Hmmmm...I think you need to teach her our way of relaxing. And it doesn't involve an excellerated heart rate unless your masseuse is a HotT! There needs to be chocolate involved too. And one of those butter-soft spa robes!


Mmmmmm...

Mmmmmm...

that's why she looks the way she does and i look the way i do! and actually, we DO get robes and there may be chocolate involved at tea time. as far as a hot masseuse, i'll pass. i once got a massage from a cute guy at a spa and i couldn't concentrate on relaxing!

 

[UtahMama]

Punkin- I love you! You totally crack me up daily!

Ya, I can see having a hot masseuse may be a tad distracting. You'd be all sucking-it-in and "laying skinny", which aint easy when someone's kneading your thigh. That is if you have ANYthing to suck in any more!

Ok folks, the officially grand total of the 9 peeps who recorded their weight is......(*drum rolllll*) 11.4 pounds!

I would have helped by 2 pounds ALL week except today But I have mostly stuck to my goals:

1. at least 30 minutes on tread mill every day (not Sunday though)
2. More water than soda (ACK! SOOOO hard, but I do it because of YOU!)
3. no eating past 8pm. (I did eat toast last night because I had forgotten to to take vitamins and can't on an empty stomach...thus the NO weight loss today but all week I was down!)

I WANT to add no "white" (rice, bread, flour, etc.) but I dunno. This may be a GOOD time to add that what with all the Christmas treats starting to be circulated.


Lots of love to all y'all! I'm a little "off" after our fire we had. It really has shaken me up! I posted the story on my TR if you don't know the awful details. I just can't seem to find my "funny" (its a noun now). But I'm starting to feel like myself again.

unfortunately you can't suck in a big butt and thunder thighs.......they're just sort of THERE.

oh, no! i'm off to find out what happened....hope everything's okay!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Samer this week... but I'll take it. I haven't been the bestest peep this week. I've promised myself that I'll be better next week.

This morning started out with a bang, literally. I got rear-ended on my way into work. I'm fine and my car has little to no damage (thank god). I was shaking so badly that I just decided to go home to deal with the insurance companies (called it into the police and filed a report before I left though). I've spent my morning on the phone with various insurance adjustors. Thank goodness he has insurance AND admitted he was at fault.

Gotta love those subarus -- neons just bounce off them. I don't think the car needs any body work, but I'd like someone to check the security/safety of the bumper.

SO glad your ok!

You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers! Thank goodness you caught this in time!!! Disney will still be there, what's important is that you take your time and recover properly so that we still have you here!

Wow your SO must of had the radar alert going off. Wow. Prayers and pixie dust are coming your way. The others are right. WDW isn't going anywhere and you can celebrate a birthday any time. You have a whole year to celebrate that you are 30. Concentrate on getting well. And please keep us posted.

Chocolate covered sunflower seeds doesn't even sound good to me. Never heard of that.

I had a full body massage once and loved it until I awoke the next day and couldn't move. Deep tissue. I wanted to go and give that guy a piece of my mind but I couldn't move for several days. He was so lucky I was in so much pain cause I wanted to wrap that rubber band exercise thingy he gave me around his neck.

Just be careful if you haven't had one before.

this is where he ordered them from: http://www.sunflowerfoodcompany.com/sunnyseeddrops/sunnyseeddrops.html
we saw them in savannah last september and tried some - they were really good! and now they're sitting in my kitchen while i'm trying to lose these last 2 pounds.

i used to get weekly deep tissue massages for my back (i have scoliosis). the masseuse was a very petite but very strong girl from russia and she would KILL me! once she was trying to reach a nerve under my armpit and when she touched it my whole arm went numb. this massage that we're doing in a couple of weeks is for relaxation ONLY.....if they press too hard i'm gonna tell them!

WOW!!! As the others have said Disney will wait. Your health is MUCH more important!! That is soooo scary though. Sending pixie dust and prayers. Oh and a Even if you don't have trip insurance, I bet Disney would work with you about rescheduling considering the circumstances.

i thought you guys would get a kick outta this.

Well, if you have to workout first, just think about how good that massage will feel afterwards.

Ok, I totally missed your fire story, so I will go read and comment later, but here is in the meantime.

Hugs Bee! So glad you checked in. I was worried with that crazy story that has been on the news lately.

I did most of my shopping on line yesterday. What urks me is I chose my "available" items and put them in my shopping cart, I checked out, I paid for the stuff and hours later I get an email saying, We are so sorry, but this item is no longer available.

I don't care that I have to go to the mall. I just have more to add to my to do list today.

Well we are supposed to get a snow storm. Tonight. We will see. They never predict the weather right over here. I don't know what it's like for you, but they are like 25% right most of the time. Thursday they said snow was coming, then it was Friday, no wait, Saturday, ok we meant Sunday.


Am I late in finding this out? Disney's 800 # is no longer valid. I called it yesterday and got a message to use the 407 number.

 

[dance2874]

Monica- the kitchen looks fantastic!!

Hi Peeps,

I'm sneaking on my PDA right now to let you guys know that I am in the hospital and have been here since Tuesday night.

I hope you get out soon and are back to feeling well. I bet Disney will work with you too, insurance or not. I mean you are in the hospital I am sure you will have a nice bill or paperwork to prove your story if need be, you know?! Not like you changed your mind on going. I am sure you would much rather be home getting ready for your trip than where you are now!


I need to go read up too! I am so behind with all the TR I was reading.

Really? That makes me mad! I hate calling from my cell phone because of the reception sometimes on their end and we got rid of the long distance on our regular phone a while back. Maybe it is temporary?

[SingingMUA]

Hi Peeps,

*this is another stealth posting from my hospital bed*

First of all, thanks so much for all the prayers and pixie dust.

I got the official word this a.m. from my doc that I won't be able to make my WDW trip. We cancelled the plane tickets this morning and I emailed my travel agent about what my options will be for possibly rescheduling, and I'm waiting for her to get back to me. I'm hoping that she will come back with good news and say that we will be able to reschedule the trip and not lose it (in case I didn't mention it before, the trip is COMPLETELY paid for already...)

The clot in my lung is causing me a lot breathing problems and chest pain, so the doctor has said that I will be here in the hospital until I'm able to breathe normally and walk without any shortness of breath. They don't have me on oxygen right now, but they are continuing to monitor my blood oxygen saturation. I'm hoping I will be out by my birthday (which is 12/18).

Thanks again guys for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers. I will continue to keep you all posted.

 

[dwheatl]

I'm skimming, so hope I don't miss anyone.
Tia, I sent you a PM.
Hugs and prayers for everyone with sick kids, and any other needs.
I'm down 1 lb. My WW scale with body fat measurement came today. DH bought it for me, but said he refused to make that a Christmas present. He said I should just have it if I want it. He's so sweet.
Things are depressing today. I'm wearing my Eeyore Christmas socks, and they fit my mood. A close family friend passed away yesterday after a long illness (she was my next door neighbor when I was a child, taught me how to make chocolate chip cookies and introduced me to WW ) My kids have asked me not to talk about them, but let's just say an empty nest is looking less likely in the near future.
On the up side, we're going to get our tree now, and we're going to Gilroy Gardens to look at their Christmas decorations tonight. DH talked me out of eating there, so that's good in terms of dieting.
Blessings to everyone.

 

[DisneyLaura]

SingingMUA Hang in the kiddo. Disney can wait, your health is definately more important which I know you know that. Maybe because the trip is already paid for and the circumstances you can just reschedule it for another time.

punkin413 That was funny - excercise and a relaxing massage; chocolate covered sunflower seeds yummy

UtahMama You had a fire I must have missed that if you mentioned it here. On to go read your TR

Bee Hi Bee, I don't think we;ve met. My name is Laura. Glad to hear you are ok.

dwheatl Yeah on the 1 lb loss. I saw that scale somewhere, can't remember where, cool beans. Sorry to hear about your friend passing Remember the memories, that's a good thing. That's what I do when I think about my stepdad. I think about all the good things he brought to my life.

Just checking in late tonight. We're getting our tree tomorrow.

Laura
