Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Congratulations Flo on one fantastic weight loss/////// I really needed your post in a big way/// I have been working 12/16hr days to make up for taking 2 1/2 weeks off starting Monday. Between work tests for surgery, packing,family and sleep I've been a wreck. Sometimes I wake up and go OHHHH BBROTHER/// But then I think of high B/P, fatigue,foot pain, leg pain, hip pain and then I smile and go back to sleep. can't wait to see you in Durham.
