Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi May, My BMI is 33, and I did tell my consultant this, but she seems to think it isn't a problem. Are you on pred? I have been for a long time and when I said about my weight she just said 'it's the steroids, don't worry about it' Love Ze xx>> hi all, > been catching up reading the posts as i've been a bit busy.> > hallo kerry> great to see you here and thanks for the update on joyce. i'm so > sorry she is having to get more tests and stay overnight in > hospital. i obviously hope the outcome is as best as it can be and > that any hypertension is minimal. strange that she had to pick that > up herself but maybe that means she is not so far down the line with > that. we can only hope. > > irene> poor you. what an experience and to lose so much weight. you need > to pile into the ice cream girl even if you are not hungry. i'm sure > you can't afford to lose that much. i was going to mention earlier > that i couldn't see a photo of you. do you have one to post? its > really nice to put a face to a name. i imagine you tall and slim > with short blond curly hair. why i dont know.> > zena> my consultant did pre-transplant evaluations over a period of weeks. > bone density, stress test, a heart thingy etc and sent it all away to > the tx centre. i will go to newcastle. she expected them to contact > me direct but in the end they contacted her to say that they are > happy to see me for next stage but that i need to have my weight at a > bmi of 30. so thats where i am at moment. trying to lose enough to > get me there and i'm just over half way there. i am sure they will > still want more off once the tests get underway but at moment am just > concentrating on getting to bmi of 30. just thought i'd pass that on.> is your bmi around or under 30 anyway?> > peggy> i am going to copy you as i am sure you wont mind. i am going to > make a prayer box and put people in just like you. i think that's a > great idea. i am sorry you and john were shaken but i suppose if you > are going to have a car accident that's the kind to have..> > linda> your house looks lovely. very roomy and your kitchen is just > wonderful. i love having no stairs and being all on the one level.> > mary-beth> your house is great too. ive looked forward to seeing it finished > since we saw the frame. i've not seen ceilings like that before over > here.> > leanne> i'm really happy you and mary-beth have a sunshine trip to look > forward to before san antonio. peggy will have to start making the > sweeties again.> > tina, sandie, gina> i really appreciated your back stories. i've no talent for forensics > but would be quite happy working in a book store. tina, i'm sure > time will take care of the bedroom. luckily your son is only 5. you > all just need some time. your mother did a wonderful job didn't she > with her stepson. she deserves some kind of award.> > i hope everyone else is keeping well and those that are going to san > antonio are excited and ready for mischief. i wont be there alas but > will enjoy you all enjoying it as i did at chatanooga. i have the > wedding on 1 june.> > well, i for one am glad january is just about over, it seems to have > went on forever. it always seems such a dreary month to me and too > early to look forward to spring so welcome february.> > may uip 0606> glasgow, scotland> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 May, Thanks for checking in, it's good to hear from you. I don't think I ever mentioned that I'm scottish on my paternal grandmother's side. Her parents came to NY from Nova Scotia and then two generations back from that they came to Canada from Glasgow and also from Campbeltown on the west coast. I've never been to Scotland, though hope to someday. I have been to Nova Scotia in Canada and it's amazing how Scots and Irish make up the bulk of the population in that area. Anywho, just thought I'd mention it as I think about making the trip someday hopefully! Maybe we'll get to visit! Beth in NC age 48 Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 "For as long as I shall live, I will testify to Love." catch up from may hi all, been catching up reading the posts as i've been a bit busy.hallo kerrygreat to see you here and thanks for the update on joyce. i'm so sorry she is having to get more tests and stay overnight in hospital. i obviously hope the outcome is as best as it can be and that any hypertension is minimal. strange that she had to pick that up herself but maybe that means she is not so far down the line with that. we can only hope. irenepoor you. what an experience and to lose so much weight. you need to pile into the ice cream girl even if you are not hungry. i'm sure you can't afford to lose that much. i was going to mention earlier that i couldn't see a photo of you. do you have one to post? its really nice to put a face to a name. i imagine you tall and slim with short blond curly hair. why i dont know.zenamy consultant did pre-transplant evaluations over a period of weeks. bone density, stress test, a heart thingy etc and sent it all away to the tx centre. i will go to newcastle. she expected them to contact me direct but in the end they contacted her to say that they are happy to see me for next stage but that i need to have my weight at a bmi of 30. so thats where i am at moment. trying to lose enough to get me there and i'm just over half way there. i am sure they will still want more off once the tests get underway but at moment am just concentrating on getting to bmi of 30. just thought i'd pass that on.is your bmi around or under 30 anyway?peggyi am going to copy you as i am sure you wont mind. i am going to make a prayer box and put people in just like you. i think that's a great idea. i am sorry you and john were shaken but i suppose if you are going to have a car accident that's the kind to have..lindayour house looks lovely. very roomy and your kitchen is just wonderful. i love having no stairs and being all on the one level.mary-bethyour house is great too. ive looked forward to seeing it finished since we saw the frame. i've not seen ceilings like that before over here.leannei'm really happy you and mary-beth have a sunshine trip to look forward to before san antonio. peggy will have to start making the sweeties again.tina, sandie, ginai really appreciated your back stories. i've no talent for forensics but would be quite happy working in a book store. tina, i'm sure time will take care of the bedroom. luckily your son is only 5. you all just need some time. your mother did a wonderful job didn't she with her stepson. she deserves some kind of award.i hope everyone else is keeping well and those that are going to san antonio are excited and ready for mischief. i wont be there alas but will enjoy you all enjoying it as i did at chatanooga. i have the wedding on 1 june.well, i for one am glad january is just about over, it seems to have went on forever. it always seems such a dreary month to me and too early to look forward to spring so welcome february.may uip 0606glasgow, scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 mary-beth definately. if you come to scotland i would expect you to stay over at least one night. ive never been to cambeltown although my daughter met a lad from there in her first two years at uni in edinburgh and he hurt her a bit so if you want me to go there with you you need to promise that we will hunt him down and give him a kick (only joking). its a long trek from glasgow as you can't go as the crow flies. you have to go up and then down. as you know my name is may and i have a sister called grace so when you mention your neices it always reminds be of being shouted for by my mum. grace is my wee sister and i 'had to' take her everywhere with me. you dont come across many people with that name. may > > May, > Thanks for checking in, it's good to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 May, I will definitely come with you and kick some bootie in Campbeltown. Sounds like fun actually. Wouldn't you love to have him have to explain to his friends that he got a whoopin from an oxygen patient! I love old fashioned names like May and Grace. My nieces Madalyn and Grace Helen are named for their great grandmothers one from their mother's side, one from their daddy's. There are old fashioned names all over our family. My Mom named my sisters and I with some of the names from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott!
