Hey Kristy.... I don't see that taking all the spiro at once should be
a problem. I really don't understand why she wants your weight at 130
and not 125....that makes no sense to me. The only thing I can think of
is a goal. It's easier to reach 130 than 120...but it does seem odd.
Heck...I'd be happy with 230 these days ! ha ha
I'm wondering why you got 'hot hands'. That is odd as well. I wonder
what that means. What surgery are you going to have done? I can't
remember....
So much going on with you....I'm sending hugs your way...and you are in
my prayers along with Wendy. ;)
Take care...Bonnie
