You go girl! I'm proud of you! I hope everything works out for the best girlie! Take care of yourself! and......

Things are going great! I've never been better! I'm having marital problems, think its because I have so much more to look forward to, other than a crappy husband. But I'm happy about it, I look forward to my divorce because I finally know I deserve better!
How are you?

Hey Audrey,
How's thangs? You're lookin great in your pics girlie!

Yeah, that would be sooooo much fun! I am sure even if I don't get to goto Germany to visit you I'll find you somewheres else, hehe
I didn't have any real drainage, but even with both my c-sections I didn't either and girl you better take it easy! I know its hard to because I know you're excited!
That is so cool your bff is gonna visit. I so wanna see the leaning tower of peza! Oh and I have dreamed of going to Paris! I heard that you have to have a special pass to goto France, military approved. Is that true? I have two girls I went to high school with and elementary school with that live in Germany right now, they too are Army wives! Speaking of army wives, do you watch it on Lifetime? Does it even come on out there?
Welp, I gotta go post some head shot on here. I shall ttyl ttfn~MUAH!

YAY! That would be very cool! AND by the time you would get here I'd actually know of some places we could go see too...lol I just got my USAEUR license but I still need to get my International license and then I can actually go out of Germany and drive. WOOT! My BFF is coming to visit at the end of this year and we're gonna go everywhere we can girl! I can't wait! Then, when you come we can go to some of the same places or new ones...YAY! I'm excited! I love having military wife friends everywhere! Hops are awesome! LOL
I'm taking it easy now..I saw how I messed myself up and don't want to do it again. I got my stitches out Monday and one of the incisions is a little infected. Last night I went to change my bandaids on them and two more were goopy (EW!) but after cleaning them up and taking a shower and laying in bed with the fan blowing on me, this morning they actually look good (all of them) so I'm not gonna worry about them to much more unless they drain some more. Sometimes that happens with wounds. (I used to work for a wound nurse, FYI.)
Last night I walked a little over a mile with my WLS buddy that lives down the street from me, she actually had the surgery the day after me so it's awesome! I really like her AND she's from Houston too! small world!
Anyhoo...gotta get off my butt and clean up a bit and see what else I can get into.
I really do enjoy talkin w/ you too girlie! It's nice to hear about other military wives on here too. there's a new lady on here, nancymorrison05, she's an army wife too and she's @ Ft. Hood. She's nice too!
I'll talk at cha later chickie! SMOOCH!

OMG I would LOVE to come visit! I will work on that actually! I think that would be great!

I'm so glad you are doing ok. Did they have to open you all the way up to sew you up?
You better take it easy girl! Even two months out I hurt myself, I try to lift things that are too heavy, its kinda strange, things I used to lift no prob are so hard to lift now! Weird.
I'd LOVE some German sweets right now! Like those chocolate balls with the toy inside? Yummy!
Well I'm really glad to hear you are doing well, its so nice to hear from ya! I really enjoy chattin with you! TTFN

I'm doing really good! The day I got home from the hospital and the day after, I didn't rest at all...I kept going and going and messed myself up..I'm a retard...lol I stayed in bed ALL day yesterday...didn't really sleep but maybe an hour but I rested and chilled so I feel better this morning...actually slept a full night woot! (I also was forced to stay in bed by my hubby and my friends, I would have been tied to the bed had I not rested...lol)
Surgery went well...I got a little more beat up than the average patient because a piece of equipment malfunctioned and he had to go in there and sew me up by hand and therefore had to fight a little more...my stomach looks like someone attacked me...all the bruises...lol
Other than the soreness and being a little tired I'm doing really well. The hospital stay was really good, compared to American hospitals where you push the nurse call button and they don't come unless you start screaming or something...they were on top of it, ALWAYS...I loved them! I go back on Monday and plan on dropping off a basket of American sweets and coffee and maybe a cake I'll make... they love American sweets...they're sweeter then German sweets...even the same brand...i.e., snickers...
Anyhoo...I love it here! I miss my family and they were going crazy because they couldn't come and see me while I was in the hospital but it's all good. I guess I'm a free spirit when it comes to leaving home...I left Houston out of the blue and moved to Austin the last 6 years I was in the States...loved it there too! hmmmmm I wonder if it's because it's away from family????...lol
And hey, if you can catch a hop for pretty cheap sometime next year I'd love to have you! That would be awesome! My hubby will be in the sand box...lol...we could travel and site see and stuff! WOOT!

Hey! How are you feeling? How'd surgery go? I went and took a look at the pics of Germany on your myspace, very pretty! But not sure I'd wanna be stationed there, still too far from home, LOL But I'd LOVE to visit, thats for sure! hehe
Well, can't wait to hear back from you and learn how things went and are going post-op! ttfn

Wow, thats sooo cool! I will go check out those pics sometime today. Now I agree with the dog sitting at the table, thats just gross! All countries are different I suppose. Anyhow, I don't eat much of anything yet. I eat potatoes of all sorts, I eat rice cakes, some cereals, cream of wheat, oatmeal, cooked veggies, all sorts of fruits, and I drink teas, juices, milk and of course water! lol I can eat chicken and turkey but I don't eat them much, its alot of work chewing for so long, LOL Oh and some cookies (not many you can actually eat!) and sugar free pudding and ice cream (again not many you can actually eat). And thats about all I ever eat, when I eat. I am working on trying to eat more often but its sooooo hard and BORING, lol I mean going from eating around the clock to not even feeling hungry are just big changes, and going from eating whatever you want to not really being able to eat anything you really enjoyed, now thats the hardest part for me! I would kill someone for a burger, thats for sure, or some bread! Ugh! lol
Well, I must go to the doctor, just a reg. check up with my primary doc. TTYL

oh man...these people bring their dogs EVERYWHERE! They ALL walk everywhere or ride bikes everywhere and they have their dogs with them. Restaurants allow them as well and some even allow the dogs (if not too big I imagine/hope) to sit AT the table with his/her own bowl. Disgusting but whatever... I do lilke it here though, I really do. It just feels natural to me, I'm half German so maybe that's it..lol
I've gone to a few places here in Germany and that was really cool, the scenery was amazing...I actually have some pics on my myspace page... MySpace.com - rachalrg - 28 - Female - Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg - www.myspace.com/rachalrg check them out. Yeah I don't think there's gonna be to many more TOD to Germany for much longer...
Let's see...we're planning a trip to the Czech Republic in early October and then our anniversary is Nov 24 and we're planning a 5 day trip to Pisa, Italy for that. He'll be in the sand box for our 10th anniversary, unfortunately, but when he comes home he's taking me to Ireland. WOOT! (the other half of me is Irish..he he) In the meantime while he's gone, I've got some good friends here to keep me company and travel with..yay!
Congrats on your WL thus far...that's awesome, I can't wait for my surgery man. lol 7 days! woot! So, what kind of foods do you actually eat?
Well, this one is a long one too, seems like I ramble alot on my msgs..lol, so I'll talk at ya later...XOXO
