Another MAJOR Life Change -- For the Good !!
Apr 22, 2009
As if I didn't have enough going on with me -- first the weight loss surgery and then all the strictures and then the ulcer but I am confident that is all behind me now...hopefully -----so guess what???? I enrolled in college today! (well actually yesterday but I paid for it today!) I am going to Community College to get my Associates Degree in Accounting and will transfer to University of Houston next year to get my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and minor in Business Management. I have already completed quite a few college courses/hours so this is just the next journey to making a good life for me and my boys! Can't wait till class starts in June. I will keep you all posted on how I do so pray for me that I can handle this in addition to the other stuff and that I make good grades -- need A's but I guess a B wouldn't be too bad.

Healing, Thanks for the Prayers !

Thanks to all those that have been PM'ing and sending emails. My stricture repair went great and after the EGD with dialation I am feeling much better. Was a little sore that day, but have moved on and I am happy to report that I ATE !!! I know right -- what a wonderful feeling.
Yesterday I went to help my mother with her garage sale -- cleaning out all my kids junk! And then went to work and put in some hours to make up for missing a day getting my strictures taken care of. So hopefully my paycheck will start getting back to normal once again -- wouldn't that be great?
Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Easter! Going to the in-law's for a dinner and then stopping by my mother's house as she had something that she wanted to give the kids and then home to get ready to go to work!

Strictures Again?
Apr 07, 2009
Well, seems that not only am I the Queen of the Strictures but now on top of all of that I have an ulcer that has developed as well. Man, I seem to have all the luck right? Going back in on Thursday to have the strictures fixed and have a prescription for the ulcer that I need to start taking IMMEDIATELY! Do I regret having my surgery – yeah I know that’s on every pre-op’s mind that is reading this but the answer is simple – HELL NO!! I have already lost over 115lbs since surgery and total of 150lbs since my journey began so no I don’t regret it one bit. God doesn’t give you more than you can handle is what people tell me so I just look to the bright side of things, at least this is something that they can fix—might be painful now but in a year I will look back on this and laugh that I ever was really worried and be in awe of how far I have come and the obstacles that I overcame to get my happy ending!
