Re: Jen weight and stones

[Guest guest]

Hey Donna-

Good to hear from you. Yes, she actually wrote us today. Thanks for

setting that up.

I am hoping that some of these foods/drinks help. I am really watching my

food intake and exercising as much as possible. I had labs today and my

counts are all really good. WBC 3.6, platelets 187, H & H 11.6 and 31.

So, I guess time will tell as far as the weight.

Hi All

Just FYI a stone is 14lbs.

Jen my weight gain story is identical to yours. My Dr. laughed at me

when I tried to suggest that my weight was around the middle in the

legs and some on the butt he kind of looked at me sideways as if to

say yeah yeah probably donuts! He did prescribe me a diuretic which

I sort of am scared to take regularly in case I deplete my potasium.

When I do take it for 2 days running I have seen a weight loss of

2lbs at the most not enough to have to stress about potasium but it

does help with the eye swelling.

Did you ever hear from Captain Baker?

shouting. My great great grandson arrived today weighihg 6# 9 oz. He

will be called Carson Archer. When they put him on the table to

clean him up, he turned himself over, already showing his strength.

If and when I can, I will send a picture of all 5 generations. I

never thought I would live that long when I was younger.

> Jimmy is coming along, although they are not all good days, it is

better than lying in that hospital bed on his back and he's thankful

for that. Again, we both thank you for the warm cards and emails.

Will get back to you when I can.
