Oh THANK GOD!!!!!!! I have been worried about her ALL DAY! I was praying something would happen good today for her! Jen, I'm so happy you posted. I was about to pick the phone up and call you, but thought I'd check here first. I have been so busy tonight and have not had time to look until now.

Carrie honey, I'm so happy you are going to get something done finally! Hang in there honey. It will be over before long now. Jen, if you talk to her tell her we love her and we are there with her in spirit. I don't know if she will see this or not for a bit. I know she has not felt like being here lately. Give her BIG HUGS from me!

(Pppsstt.......how are you doing today Jen?)

Oh Carrie I am so thankful that there finally is a plan!! It sounds like Dr Nohr intends on getting down to what is going on and finding an answer. You must be so relieved to know that he is taking you seriously and is concerned about what is going on with you. Hang in there sweetie, there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel!!!

You'd still be here love.. because you are the most determined STUBBORN person I know... And I'll forgive you for not kicking him... but he better take better post-op care of you this time.

And.. I hope you do post more.. I miss seeing your gorgeous face pop up once in a while ..

{{{{{{{{Carrie}}}}}}}}} Love ya!

Default Yaaaaay Carrie!

So glad to hear he is going to go in and look- and I promise you will not miss your gallbladder! I don't know what you are using for strength and patience, but I pray it is a bottomless supply- at least until August!

Hey, can you tell me the exact name of what you drank at Starbucks? They think I am crazy here and the one I asked for is loaded with sugar.....I thought I had the lingo down....
wow have i missed lots

starbucks - i pm'd you finally with it, but i will post it for others

i have found that it is made differently depending on the town of the starbucks, but this is how i ask for it here

venti - vanilla bean frappaccino, but made like this: 1 scoop powder, two pumps sugar free vanilla syrup, no whip....i get the nonfat milk - the total amount of milk used in the venti is 8oz - there is sugar in the powder stuff, that is why i get one scoop not the FIVE that they put in the normal vanilla bean frap - in the hat they made it with splenda, its too sweet that way, you could probably get just milk and s/f syrup made into the frapp, but i like it my way - i have many peeps hooked on it at work, they want starbucks to call it the carrie special so they dont have to explain it all the time

fluids and foods - fine just as long as i dont do them
