Years ago I had a toothbrush that I chewed on. I also used to chew on peach seeds (didn't crack them open, so didn't have to worry about being poisoned). Both seemed to help at the time. I didn't have any candy. I didn't even really want it.

Right now I am sore all over from my ribs to my hips. I can't wait for surgery as I have no idea what is cyst caused and what might be something else. My ribs are sore and sometimes it's like I can feel my band, which I know I can't. I was afraid I'd slipped for a bit, but since I have no symptoms of it, I am pretty sure my ribs are loose again. I see my D.O. on Friday for my pre-op check-up. I will have him pop them back in. Seriously, how can something so tiny mess everything up so thoroughly?

How's the knee coming? I also haven't seen any updates on the perfect new tummy. My mom and my sister are moving back to Denver next summer, so I will have a free place to stay. It would actually be cheaper to fly there and see him than go here. Plus the shopping is better.
