Thanks everyone for your prayers and concerns. Danielle made it through like the trooper she is. The doc talked to us after surgery and said that there was a muscle out of place that was interrupting the bone movement between her pelvis and leg bone. This was causing her tissue to get inflamed and red and is also what caused her labral cartilage to get torn. So it sounds like from this that surgery would have been the only way to fix it which makes me glad that we finally were able to have it. Danielle was in a lot of pain yesterday but this morning not so bad. She has light PT that she has to do 3x a day and it has worn her out so while she's napping I was able to hop on here. Anesthesia is almost worn off and she's starting to get her appetite back. I'm home from work today because we have to apply a cold treatment for 3 hrs on, 1 hr off for a total of 12 hrs a day. Plus she is still struggling & figuring out how to stand up and get around with crutches. Tomorrow hubby will be taking his turn so I can go to work.

I'm glad she's back home, and I'm sure she was glad to have you home with her today too. It doesn't matter how old we are, times like that, we always want our moms with us. |

Well after a long anticipated wait, the day is finally here for my DD's hip surgery. I won't be on the computer much if at all tomorrow so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I certainly hope after all of this, that after she heals, her pain will be gone once and for all.

I will say a prayer for your daughter to have a safe and successful surgery and a quick painless as possible recovery. I'll keep you in my thoughts also. Having somebody operate on one of your 'babies' would definately be emotional and stressful. Hang in there! Lots of Hugs and Blessings, Jen |

I hate the new scale already. I programmed it wih my age, height and sex to track all those things I won't ever use...lol...and weighed myself on it this a.m. It was 5 lbs higher than my old scale. I know this because I weighed myself on that one too. So I've decided to keep using my old scale until the end of the month and then on Dec 1st I'll adjust my starting weight for the new challenge and start using the new EVIL scale.

lol, when I switched to my WW scale(maybe the same one you have cause I had to program in the same things) it was 10 lbs. heavier than my old one. It was very depressing. When I weighed in at the WW meetings on their official scale it was 3 or 4 pounds less than my scale at home. I ran home right away and weighed myself wearing the same stuff. Don't let the evil scale get you down. Waiting till after the first of the year is a great idea. You'll have the most motivation at that time and there is a long stretch of time before anymore eating holidays come up. If it is the WW scale I have you may try weighing yourself on different surfaces in the house also. Mine varies a LOT between rooms. On carpet it is like 30 pounds less than on wood and on tile it is around 10 pounds difference than the wood. The wood floors have the highest weight so that is what I use. It's screwy. Scales, blahhhh. Jen |

It is so hard to switch scales. It is the consistency that is improtant. Great idea about waiting to change! Hugs, Lynn |

It is hard to change scales...no two seem to be the same. Good for you for picking a date and making it work. I love the comments about the Tanita and the Wii Fit. My Wii Fit was originally set up on carpet and it just wasn't being fair! My DH cut out some MDF to sit it on for stability, but it still varies because I can't keep it in the exact spot, and it also depends how I step on it! I hate the dang thing! LOL |

I can soooooo relate. Check out my old blog on the same topic. Remember - your starting weight is higher if this scale is more accurate, so you haven't failed or gained 5 pounds, you were just working with faulty information! It doesn't belittle the work or progress you've done. cj ETA - my old blog s called 'Took the Plunge' and is my very first one. Comment edited on: 11/21/2008 5:44:05 PM |

This happened to me too. Is your new scale a "Tanita"? I think Tanita is French for "Weighs More". This is why I weigh myself on my old scale (which weighs to the nearest 0.5 lb) and my "new" scale (which measures to the nearest 0.2 lb, but always higher). |

OK Heidi, before you throw that nice new scale out the window, let me be the voice of reason. Remember that the numbers don't matter, it's how your clothes fit and how you feel. Right? Are you buying it? I know, screw that. The number on the scale DOES matter. But also know that whether you're weighing 133 or 138, you STILL lost a bunch of weight, fit into your new, smaller clothes beautifully, and are healthier than you've been in a long time. Don't let that little pile of metal and electronics win. ;-) Comment edited on: 11/21/2008 3:13:07 PM |

You're funny Heidi. I didn't want to accept the fact the new didital scale is more on target than the old analog ones. Ugh! Oh well, Jan. will be your new start. |
