CN, I give a link below, but Google "low residue diet". This is not the same as a low fiber diet. The Mayo Clinic site in particular lists exactly what one can and cannot eat - low fiber, but very refined fibers and more restrictive than low fiber diet. Also provides a sample days menu - 3...

Granted, I was carrying a lot of fluid (my feet and hands were twice their normal size), but at the surgeon's office I weighed in at 104. The day I was discharged from the hospital I weighed myself on my digital scale and it showed 104.0. Well, I just weighed myself again and I weighed 97.6! ...

We had severe storms move through Florida over the last few days. They were equal to mini hurricanes winds 70-100 mph. 50,000 people just in my area lost power. Many are still with out it. It sucked I could not get the generator to start so they finally got power back at 8pm last night. I...

They arrived yesterday. I put one up in the window. In five minutes, the suction cups came undone. I tried it again. The whole thing fell down. I messed with it for about an hour. Then I called the 800 number and asked for a prepaid return shipping label. They said they didn't provide...

Some of you may have gotten some strange e-mails - possibly Joy? I usually post using my PC. I have an iPad and a new app for usenet. My daughter is here visitng, she also uses usenet and so we put in her address and stuff. I had written some responses to CN but not sent them. Daughter...

Thank you, everyone, for tttttttttttttttttttttr (--- that's from Smudge, she's here in the computer room with me) all the sympathy and nice messages. We're hanging out together while I sit at the computer. It's almost like old times, except that she's spacy and very slow-moving. But she did eat a...

Pretty amazing! Fortunately this post is completely off-topic, and there are no cats in it. :) http://www.brighthub.com/pets/birds/articles/92107.aspx Joyce --

Yep, to the pleasant surprise of some and the disappointment of others, I *am* still alive. I was only able to log on for 5 minutes in the middle of all this, so I saw only two posts replying to the post Ben made. Since then I've been totally incommunicado, physically and mentally, and unaware...

Despite her witness folding and being my star witness in the end- they gave me a written warning. I can appeal but have to ask myself if I want another 4 months of never-ending Hell or do I just shrug, say it won;t happen again so I can walk the year and anyway I'm looking for another job! Right...

We awakened to three to four inches of snow on everything: hyacinths, daffodils, etc. It is a real wintery scene and a big temperature drop. Needless to say, TuTu is curled up in front of the heat register. MLB

I did indeed have gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago, but it had *nothing* to do with my recent medical problems. Actually, it helped a lot to "fix" me at this time. A gastric bypass detaches the small intestines from the stomach and a bit of small intestine. The bypassed "bits" are left...

I don't know why, or don't remember how, but I no longer have a FaceBook account (and I'm too tired and busy to mess with that any time soon), and I "lost" some of my email accounts (and have a few that I just can't remember the password to). So, if you need to get in touch with me privately,...

I Love Lucy. There's no getting around it, Lucille Ball was an original comedic genius. I really like the show Cold Case. Kathryn Morris (Detective Lilly Rush) has a cat who is missing one eye and another that is missing a leg. Her co-worker (Jeremy Ratchford as Nick) shows up at her...

I need to catch up! I haven't been online lately, since I had been visiting family, and my network connection has been intermittent for quite a while since I've been here. I'm fortunately just over the border of the electrical grid that was destroyed, so power has at least been ok, although it's...
