COLETTE: I'm sure you will enjoy your trip in spite of the underlying reason for having to make it. To see some place you've never seen before and to be making the trip with your Mom has got to bring you some enjoyment. Right now I would give my right pinky finger to be able to take a trip with my daughter, but with my physical condition, and her idiot boyfriend, that won't happen. He's away right now, and she isn't allowed to come out to spend the night because she wouldn't be there to accept his collect call. Whoops! Mood Watch picked up on the "idiot" *LOL*
PAUL: Welcome to the group It's good to hear a success story. Glad you've found someone who really works with you in dealing with ARD.
PHIL: Glad you are getting useful information from us. We are a veritable fount of knowledge when it comes to dealing with ARD *grin*
KAREN: Most of us on the board who have had adhesiolysis have had some denovo or reformation of adhesions after surgery. It is something that we have to deal with if strict procedures are not followed during surgery and no barrier is used to prevent new adhesions. Sorry you are having to deal with this, but do search the archives for posts on this topic.
BOBBI: Talk to an out of town lawyer if you must, but definitely do something about this "doctor's" lack of care and compassion. Why should you suffer because he couldn't take the precautions of checking your records for allergies? Hope you are feeling better or have gone to the ER for help.
OK, JO: You are not to read the rest of this e-mail. I do not want to be responsible for putting you in pain! What follows is pure and simple foolishness, with absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever. Now that you've all been warned:
I got a little something in my e-mail today that we on this board are living proof of being effective:
"Universal Rx"
No moving parts, no batteries, no monthly payments and no fees; Inflation-proof, non-taxable, in fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be stolen, won't pollute, one size fits all, do not dilute. It uses little energy, but yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress, invigorates your happiness; Combats depression, makes you beam, and elevates your self-esteem!
Your circulation it corrects, without unpleasant side effects. It is, I think, the perfect drug; may I prescribe, my friends? The hug! (And of course, fully returnable!)

And why is it that when a man talks dirty to a woman, it's sexual harassment, but when a woman talks dirty to a man it's $3.99 a minute????
And a few chuckles for the cat lovers among us:

And now that I've wasted your time and escaped from reality for a while, it's time to take another pill, give Shawn his bath, finish up my laundry, and go soak in a cool tub of water. It's only about 910 degrees in the shade up here today - seems like summer got here late.
Love, hugs, and prayers to everyone.

CHEER UP!!! The time you spent reading this email could've been spent more productively. But you're not bothered because you're one of those well-adjusted people who really doesn't give a shit.
