Hi Wayne

I seem to have the same thing, when I went to the doc my pule was 120

Then whenever I have checked my own its only 108. My doc rang me to

tell me my results from the tests and he asked me to take my pulse

again and sure enough

it was way up there again. I have no idea if it would make any

difference to other tests but Im sure there are alot of people out

there that this happens to

Good Luck with your tests

Hi Tess. The concert sounds like it was a lot of fun. I'm glad you were

able to enjoy your memories of Vince. Funny how the old songs bring us back

in time. I can still remember my first kiss the year " Born To Be Wild " was

the # one song on the jute box.

I wish Em the best of luck and hope things turn out ok for her. I can tell

you from experience that parenting kids isn't easy and you can't let others

influence your decisions. You know Em better than anyone. There comes a

time when you have to let her sink or swim. She will learn from her

experiences. If you try to stop her, you will only alienate her. Be there

if she needs picking up and try to guide her in the right direction and pray

she will be ok.

I hope you go back to school. It's wonderful. When I'm a resident for a

year, I'll be going back as well. I loved it.

I can't wait to hear your weight loss numbers. You should be so proud of

yourself. I know how hard you have worked. I hope you don't have any more

lapses in Humira. You need to keep feeling well so you can keep living

life! You've got no time for flaring!!!

i am so glad you had fun on your trip.the concert sounds like fun.i know how

a song can move you. i am on countdown day 27 until my trip!! (look out jimmy

pankow!) i am not sure my son is in the best relationship either. but i

know how it is to be in love. so i stand behind his decision in whatever he

chooses. he has been thru enough and i just want him to be happy. it's about all

i

can do to get the 30 minute visit a week (if i'm lucky) kathy in il

Tess,

I made poor choices in men and relationships for most of my life. Is

your daughter willing to see a therapist? The only times I have made

headway in seeking stronger, more mature and more fulfilling

relationships is through a counselor. Sometimes it's easier to

accept advice from a neutral party, and a good therapist can help a

person see the issue for themselves.

The person I am seeing now is a relationship psychologist, and he's

really helped me to understand what mistakes I made in choosing my

husband and what other decisions have led me to have unhealthy and

unsatisfying relationships. My mom encouraged me to see one, but it

was only after I started dating someone and thought, this guy is

great and oh my I know I am going to screw it up, that I went and

started therapy. I'm so glad I did.

I can hardly wait to hear what your doctor says about your progress. Your post

shows a new Tess emerging and this must give you a great feeling of

accomplishment.

As for Em, you have done everything you could possibly have done and now it is

up to her. I think she knows you want what is best for her and all the good

things you have taught her will still influence her decisions eventually. As for

those that are critical of you, ignore them.

Hugs

June
