To Long

I can not believe its been so long since my last post! I am over a month out of surgery now, I go for my first fill on the 23rd of this month.So far I have been doing well had some issues with my incission not healing well but its doing good now. I am able to eat just about anything at this point, but it is less than before, I am looking forward to my fill as I think I am able to eat to much at this point, I have lost about 30 pounds but have a lot more to go! I have not started excersising yet and know that will have to come very soon. They pain doctor went down on my pain patches to try to get me off of them, not sure how long I am going to be able to stay at this dose, but am going to give it a try, It would be great to get off of them, but they do help with the pain, though its not gone. My mom's book is doing well, she has had a few book signings and has several more comming up, it will be exciting to see how far it goes.

My mom was able to get a written up in her local paper, hear is a copy of it.

All Done

Well my surgery is over and I am 5 days out, feeling ok, still sore but better every day. I go back to the doctor on the 18th for a follow up, and will probally get a fill a few weeks after that. I am ready for a fill because I am hungry! I am still on liquids and its getting old fast. I have one more week of them then can move to soft foods, I will have more things to choose from then. I am off all this week, will go back to work next week, I think it would be easier working as I would not be at home all day thinking about what I can not eat!. So my grandmother is back in the hospitial again, she went in on Saturday for her dizzy spells she has fallen severl times, they are running some test now and we are waiting on the results from that, I went over yesterday but not going today as yeaterday wore me out!.

March 3rd

Well I have got a surgery date, in less than 2 weeks I will be having my surgery, I started my pre-op diet yesterday, 2 meals with carnation and one eating a Healthy Choice dinner. Its going to be a long 2 weeks! I go for pre-op next Thursday so if I get the green light then I guess nothing else is going to happen!

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a phone call from the doctor's office today and I have been approved for my Lap-Band surgery!!! I am now waiting on a call for them to schedule me a surgery date. I have been working on this for a year now, have wanted the surgery for many, many years. I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop, I guess will not belive its happening till I am on the OR table.

I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face
What was I supposed to say

But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always

He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace
When I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt
When his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears
And the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way

'Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always

Friend I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on

Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
Always, Always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you

This week has gone by very fast, guess that is a good thing, but I am finding it hard to get the time in I need/want to do things at work and home. Got some test results back this week my Vitamin D level is very low, so I have a pill to take for that, will add it to my collection, My hemoglobin has been low in the past, went up and now it is back down. Not sure what that is about. Guess I need to take a multi-vitamin to see if it helps. Still no news regarding my Lap-Band surgery, I am in a hurry but I am not, still need to loose some weight before they will do it and am having a hard time doing that, it will not go away! I can diet and do things the correct way and will still not loose or even gain! So I will do my best and see what goes on.
