Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Lindy, I joined this group 3 years before my first hip surgery. I read every post, but I rarely posted myself. I wasn't ready to go through with a hip replacement, and didn't want to be talked into it. I read and I learned so, so much from this wonderful group. Finally, I started to post. My subconcience must have been ready. Only with the support of everyone on this group was I able to go through with it. By the time I made appointments with surgeons, I knew exactly what type of prothesis I wanted, and what type of surgeon I wanted to perform the surgery. I saw 3 surgeons and chose the one I did based on what I had read on this group. The members of this group will have my undying love and admiration. Arianne > > later on today, or perhaps in the wee hours of he morning, i will set myself to no mail on the list. before i do that and before i forget i just want to thank each and everyone of you for listening and helping me through my journey so far. you all have been a tremendous help to me, in more ways than you'll ever know and, i thank you each, from my heart. i couldn't have followed through without the knowledge i gained here. and the compassion -- there's so much love and compassion here. i thank you. bless each and everyone of you. > HUGS, > Lindy Lou > Right THR TOMORROW > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I sure wish I had found the group first. It would have saved me alot of pain and trouble and I might be further ahead if I had had PT. this group is awesome though and I have learned so much that is helping me get through.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 You Rock Viriginia , I love your method of doing the breaths as onereads the posts . It makes them go so fast. I got my 40 in for the day plus an extra 10 since starting to read the messages. I almost think i am losing more since i started doing less breaths . Even as much as i like doing 100 breaths , doing them at once was masybe putting stress on me i hadn't realized . now that i am doing only 40 at once then what ever else i can do thru the day i seem to be losing more. i lost 9 pounds in the last 2 weeks : O ) . I think we are going to be amazed how much the LL breath is gonna help us. And i know you are going to be able to do all those things you are looking forward to do .

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Virginal You are incredible!! Praise him in all that you CAN do! incredible women that you are Blessings R Everyone Just to let you know that I have finished 24 of my breaths since I set down at the computer. I have a few to go but the amazing thing is that when I set down and got into reading I felt I needed to do my breaths. Before it was, ah, I'll do 'em later... When I first set down it was like I was too full to do them but when I actually started I was amazed at the difference in my body's response. I have a firmness in my abdomen that hasn't been there for a long time. Even with the modified breaths. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but haven't I been telling ya all that??? Then why am I so surprised myself? duh It is because this program is so amazing that even when you feel like your not making ANY progress it sneaks up on you and overtakes you making you feel good even when you thought you didn't feel good. I'm looking forward to the changes yet to come. Especially as I approach summer. Weight or I should say fluid retention is so dramatic then. I am looking forward to see how much change the constriction of the muscles can make a difference in what fat hangs onto me. I'm so hoping that the panas (all that fat hanging on my gut) will suck right back up where it belongs and I will eventually not have it hanging below my knees. If it works like I hope I'll have to get up and do a hammertime dance and twirl and twirl. By that time I should be able to do some positions as well. Oh wow, what changes lie in store for those who eagerly anticipate and work toward them. I'm up to 32 now. It won't be long and I will reach 40. As I keep going just imagine the differences in my life. First you have to know how I am now hindered to understand how amazing it will be. I cannot see my feet without a mirror or put on my socks and shoes without aid from people or gadgets. I cannot reach down and pick up something off the floor without aid of some sort. I cannot chase and play with my grandchild I cannot do personal hygiene without aids I cannot drive I cannot walk farther than approx. 50 feet I cannot get up and cook I cannot prep food without a lot of stress I cannot spend my money on fun because of the cost of medications and medical bills I cannot go for a road trip just for the fun of it. I cannot go anywhere without carrying at least one oxygen tank with me and usually it is 3 of them. I cannot go to a friends for a party or just to visit without undue exertion. I cannot be far from my own bathroom and the helps I have at home. I cannot go to the grocery store without taking a wheelchair and cane with me. I cannot shop with any ease But.... I can do my life lift breaths each day I can watch closer what I eat and how often I can put my focus on what I can and will do I can look forward to going somewhere without tremendous planning or taking an arsonal with me I can look forward to going to a class on learning better ways of using this computer With the extra money that I don't have to spend on doctors and medical bills.....WOW I can chase my grandson or wait till he circles back around...just cause I can doesn't mean I will. I can go shopping with my daughters I can go road trippin' with my girlfriend I can go to friends homes I can go to church I can go to the theater and spend a lot more money than I do at home watching the same thing only later. I can sit comfortably and do what I want to do I can go swimming I can take up tennis again I can go bike riding I can sew I can cut out patterns and make alterations easier I can clean out the refrigerator I can clean my range I can clean my sink and countertops I can clean in general I can make a snowman/snowwoman I can play I can go to events for my grandson I can go on longer road trips I have reached 40 breaths and I can do some more! ;-) Keep on breathing folks Virginia What will Life Lift enable you to do? __________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Virginia, I want to take you back to when I first showed you the breath. Remember.... I want to remind you of just how far you have really come... Remember when I showed you the breath you couldn't even do a whole breath because of the weight on your lungs???

I haven't been online for a little while due to some medical problems and was excited to see you on here just now. Oh, I totally remember way back when you were teaching our friend Virginia the breathing and also how incredible she is doing now with both her consistency and keeping us all here movtivated.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Wanda, I haven't been as good a friend as I should to our dear Virginia. I went and got myself so busy that I leave the house at 5:30 am and get home in time for bed. I really miss going over to her house and just visiting. She is as delightful in person as she is on the list. I have no idea why she doesn't see it about herself, but I really enjoy visiting with her. I do find that when I go to her house, I must totally relax because I find myself yawning to the point of embarrasing! I am working on unbusying myself. I have pretty much promised Virginia that I'm going to find time to visit soon. I just wanted to remind Virginia that she had come much further than it seemed she was giving herself credit for. I visited your husband's website.... Very nice work. I had taken some time off reading the list, then Virginia told me she was back to posting, which reminded me... I should NEVER be too busy to visit with friends. So, .... I'm working on the ability to say no when asked to do things I really don't want to do. Anyway, I must have missed your health problems. I'm sorry, what is going on with you??? Still shrinking??? Take care, Karma Everyone > > > Just to let you know that I have finished 24 of my > breaths since I set down at the computer.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Karma, The great thing about close friends is this; even if you don't visit or even talk to them for a while due to schedules; etc.; when you do have time to visit it is like you just visited yesterday. That's what friendship is all about. I found that out years ago when I started working the Midnight Shift; and now with being my Dad's caretaker during the day; just no free time; sometimes not even to sleep much. But when my friends and I DO get together; it's just like we just saw each other. That's a great friendship and that is certainly you and Virginia. Virginia is doing so awesomely; and I too am so very proud of her. We'll just have to remind her and remind her until she believes it herself. : ) Yes, I am proud to say I am still shrinking. Thank you for looking at Mark's website. Laurie did such an awesome job designing it. She rocks too! Love and Hugs! Wanda. > > > > Virginia, > > I want to take you back to when I first showed you the breath. > Remember.... I want to remind you of just how far you have really > come...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Wanda and Karma, Karma, You are such a wonderful friend to our sweet and loving Virginia. She is so very lucky to have you as her neighbor. I am sure that she understands that you are too busy to spend as much time with her as you would like to, but it is really nice that you notice that you are " neglecting " her and that you want to make it up to her by starting to visit her again. I am sure that Virginia does not mind if you yawn when you are with her and that you really have no reason to be embarrassed because you do. Embarrassment does not always mean boredom, and I am sure that Virginia realizes how tired you are!!! Wanda, I did not know that Mark has a web site!!! Is it new? Did he just start it? I will have to go to Google Search engine and look him up, unless, of course, you send us the link to his web site through this list!!! Anyway, the best of luck to Mark with his web site. I hope that he has it for many years to come!!! Love always, Pat Everyone > > > Just to let you know that I have finished 24 of my > breaths since I set down at the computer.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 HI Pat! I gave Mark a website for his artwork last year for his birthday and our Laurie is a website designer so it was a pleasure hiring her to create Mark's surprise.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Pat, I get embarrased because I really do yawn a lot at her house. I get so comfortable, then settle in, and then come the yawns... to the point of tears down the cheeks. I'm not at all bored and I don't want the appearance of being bored. That is what is embarrasing. Karma Everyone > > > Just to let you know that I have finished 24 of my > breaths since I set down at the computer.
