updates

Updates:

Finally I had my last Doctor appointment, it was with the cardiologist and he said I was good to go. That my stress test went well and the blood work was good. The only thing he saw was that one of my arties was a little in large and that was no concern it could be something I was born with. No blockages or anything WOO HOO!!! So now it is off to the surgeon on the 15th of this month for a surgery date. I just have to lose these 10 pounds. I am SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

This has been an exciting time and scary time all rolled in to one. There are so many wonderful things ahead. One big one of course is the possibility that I might be able to have a baby. I can not wait till I can go buy some new clothes that are cute, to just enjoy life. The scary things are surgery I have never been put under and I will admit I am a little scared. I will most likely cry some. I can at time be very emotional. I know that there will be lot of prayers for me and that will help. I ask now that you remember me in prayer as I get my date and the final approval of insurance. I have come way too far to stop now! I already thank everyone for the prayers that have gone on before.

So now to update on step son, he will be living with us till he get on his feet. He is going to work on getting his GED and getting a job. We will be looking for a rent house and moving because our house is way too little and we need the extra bathroom and washer dryer connections. On Monday he came with my husband to pick me up and we all went to dinner he loved that. He is feeling better and his spirit is doing a lot better to. Last might we watched a comedy show and he laughed so hard that was wonderful to see. We did sit down last night and let him know what we except of him and some of the rules we have for our house. I think is just so grateful to have a home and people who care about him. So we will move on and go from here. I think it will be great especially if my husband goes back on the road I will not be alone I will have someone to talk to. For those who do read this please keep us all in your prayers.

Well that is all for now I love this it is so nice to share and vent. Rather any one reads or comments it is a wonderful outlet. For those reading have a wonderful day.

Ronda,

What surgery are you having ? Don't you have to see a dietician, I charted my food meal by meal for over eight months. Also a Psychologist ?

I am starting to feel better , more energy the last couple of weeks, the Protein shakes Dove goes on about are a key, I was frozen ,circling the same eight pounds, I am now down fifteen more, I go back to the Bariatric Surgeon next Tuesday for a six month checkup. I had fasting bloodwork today. Counting my unofficial high point I am down about 130 pounds. I can tell by clothes...my AFib is persistent....seeing Cardiologist for that.

Glad you are getting the show on the road...this takes a lot of our energy.

Blessings,

Patty

Good for you Ronda, we are with you.....good to do this for you !!!

The Protein is doing the trick, I am down 18 pounds the last two weeks. My bloodwork was not the greatest...but I will beef it up...I go to see the Bariatric Surgeon next Tuesday.
