Not such good news...

[pisces2473]

Guys, Paiger just called me--she just got out of her doctor's appointment. They aren't really sure what's wrong with her, but the doctor said that she has to take a few weeks off from work to rest, have some tests done, etc. With all of this stress going on in her life, she can't run the fitness challenge any longer. So I think it looks like we're going to have to pull the plug on it.

[heatherf]

Poor thing! I'm sure she'll be fine..... :torn: :)

[lawya girl]

Poor Paige!

[Tayl405]

That's awful--very scary! If you talk to her, please give her my best.

If you guys want to keep doing it and need someone to help monitor, I'll volunteer. I'm not taking part in the challenge, but everyone seemed so psyched, I'd love to help out in any way possible.

[Radgirl]

I can help monitor as well. I know I'm not part of the challenge, but let's keep it going for her. Oh dear, please send her my well wishes! PLEASE GET WELL SOON PAIGER!!!!! Love and prayers are with you.

[mishl982]

That's awful news. I hope you get better Paige and get lots and lots of rest!

Even if the challenge doesn't officially continue, I'm sure we will all still motivate each other to workout and eat healthy :)

[tina1979]

How horrible. I hope she is ok.

[and1grad]

Wow. Get better soon Paige.

[biodork]

Send her our well-wishes! I hope everything is ok

And I definitely think we should continue the challenge! I'm sure she would feel bad if we stopped on her account. We don't need points, just motivation!

[steph78]

Yeah, Paige did such a good job motivating all of us and organizing the whole thing, we can't quit on her now!

Paige, if you're reading I hope you are feeling lots better soon!

[diesel]

Awww, Paige, I hope you're better soon! *sending good thoughts from MI*

[kimmer23]

WOW, what is wrong with her? i didnt even know she was sick. well get better page.


(this isnt some sick april fools shit is it??)

[GetMeOuttaDC]

tell her my good thoughts and prayers are headed her way.

((PAIGER))

Hope you're better soon!

[k.monster]

Poor Paige - I hope she gets a chance to relax and get better soon!

[paiger81]

APRIL FOOLS!!! :p (It was Bugsey34's idea) Challenge is still going strong, though I thank y'all for your well wishes :)

Actually just got back from doc & apparently one of my meds for Anemia is making my blood sugar drop too low.

So I am now the not so proud owner of a Blood Glucose Monitor & the Hypoglycemic's Diet<--anybody on this?

[Tayl405]

Bitch






















Just kidding :heehee: Glad to know you're ok!!!

[biodork]

Damn you! Having us all worried! :p Kimmer had it right though...

[paiger81]

Bitch!!!


It's ok, Pisces' writing actually made me all concerned about myself!!!

[diesel]

Hmph! I didn't actually think you'd joke about your health :twisted: :confused: :eek: :neutral:



Wow, I haven't been tricked on April Fools in awhile...

[k.monster]

Punk.

[paiger81]

Joking about it makes it a bit easier to deal with,IMO.

Last night my parents kept calling me & stressing me out, because they were so serious.

It was nice to call them today and say "I'm just an Anemic Hypoglycemic"

[Tayl405]

This reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross fakes his funeral to see if people care....lol.

[mishl982]

Dammit Paige! Hehe now I'm not going to believe anything I read on these boards for the rest of the day!!

Glad you're ok :)

[paiger81]

I thought the same thing. Though for the record, I was actually gone when this thread was posted. In the doc's office from 10:30 till 12:30 Central Time.

[shimmer728]

I'm such a dumbass! I totally fell for this.

[k.monster]

That episode cracked me up! Ross is the biggest dork - how does he keep getting into those situations? I think he's one of my favs on the show

[maxwell78]

I'm such a dumbass!
:twisted: :D

I fell for it too. :neutral:

[paiger81]

I was always more of a Chandler girl, which seems appropriate since I'm most like Monica.

Favorite Chandler moment is anything to do with the WENUS

[hoodie]

whew...yeah i totally bought it too.

well better me gullible than you ill, paige!!

If it were up to me, you'd be doing pushups for the rest of the day. :neutral:

[paiger81]

I probably should, since I cancelled my trainer appt yesterday :)

Though I will admit, that I was touched that you posted, AND1. And there I was thinking you didn't like me, being "An Insensitive Man" and all :p

[WeirdBrake]

YOU LITTLE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! :p :p :p

Alright, Jen and Paige, I'll totally admit that I fell for this and was so ready to write a sympathy post to Paige. LOL You done gone and fooled the Brakester!

[paiger81]

Don't forget it was Bugsey34's idea, we just helped make it come to life :lol:

I told Pisces that if things got "out of hand" to let y'all know it was a joke. But my example of "out of hand" was someone posting "Paige was such a bitch, I'm glad she's gone" :p

[WeirdBrake]

Of course, if someone had actually posted that, Jen and I still probably would've banned the person. :twisted:

[paiger81]

Well, that's nice to know. :heehee:

[steph78]

You tricked us! Man, I go off the boards for an hour and look what happens.

Anyway, I was just going to say that my husband has Type I diabetes (the kind you have to control with insulin injections) and I know all too much about monitoring blood glucose levels from living with him for five years (he even makes me check myself sometimes just to make sure I'm in a healthy non-diabetic range!) so if you have any questions definitely ask me. Not that I'm a medical authority or anything but I've had day-in, day-out experience for awhile now...

[paiger81]

The only thing that confused me is that I asked the doc what a "normal" blood level would be. His response "Well, it's different for each person"

That doesn't help me.

[steph78]

That doesn't help me."

Oh, that's true about how it's different for every person. I know Tim's are always a lot higher than mine (and varies more throughout the day) since he's diabetic even though he's got it under control with the insulin. Every time he tests me I'm in the 70s or 80s, while his goes up as high as 250 sometimes.

You know what you could do since you have the monitor now is to make a point of checking yourself at certain times throughout the day and keep a record. Tim does it at least four times per day (once before each meal and then again right before bed). He has a little Excel spreadsheet - prints it out blank and keeps it folded up with his monitor so he can write it down every time he checks, then at the end of the month he types all the numbers in and calculates the averages and prints it out to take to the endocrinologist (he goes every three months). It sounds like a pain, but if you did this for even one month and showed it to your doctor it might help reveal some trends so you all can figure out how to solve/manage the problem in the long term.

Ok, reading that I was all set to send a get-well card, and then I see April fools... tsk tsk on all of you!! But anyway Paige, glad it's nothing too serious, and can be controlled!

But now that I think about it, didn't say WB pull one last year? I'm trying to remember...

[Bugsey34]

GOTCHA GUYS!


Mu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha :evil:


If I couldn't think of anything to get someone in my office or family, at least I got you!

[tina1979]

I'm glad to hear it was April Fool's joke. I'd hate for any of you guys to be sick. btw: I totally feel for it.

[dazed]

i fell for it too...but i'm glad in the end that paiger is all right. good luck with glucose monitoring...the excel sheet idea from steph is a great idea.

[pisces2473]

It's ok, Pisces' writing actually made me all concerned about myself!!!
You told me to be creative!!! LOL

[GetMeOuttaDC]

APRIL FOOLS!!! :p (It was Bugsey34's idea) Challenge is still going strong, though I thank y'all for your well wishes :)


That was a really mean joke.

I'm very relieved to hear you're OK though! I mean, relatively - anemia and hypoglycemia are manageable conditions that shouldn't cramp your style.
