Surgeon Testimonial

James Foote
The first time I met the staff at MMPC was 3 years ago, the first time I went to their orientation to check into the surgery. They were very informative and helpful in trying to help me to get approved for the surgery. Their office is so fantastic! They are available 24 hrs a day, and are always helpful when I need a question answered. Dr. Foote is very professional, kind and considerate. During the orientation, they are very open about the surgery, its risks, and the benefits. They have a very informative web site. www.mmpc.com I was totally comfortable with the surgery and the hospital stay was great too. I was so at ease the whole time.

Here I am again... late as
usual!!!  We finally found a new home to move to.  Been unpacking for
days and days!!  LOL  We moved from a 4 bedroom farm house to a two
bedroom trailer.... quite an adjustment.... but much easier to afford.  My
daughter is back in school.  She started back yesterday.  I sure do hope
that she does better this year.  She is a junior and lacking 3 credits
that will keep her from graduating on time.  She could be a straight A
student if she would just turn in the homework like she is supposed
to!!  A the school just keeps pushing her thru.... THANK YOU PRESIDENT
BUSH FOR THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND LAW>>>  it really sucks!     The weather
is changing pretty fast.. the mornings have been a chill 46 degrees! 
Can you say... NOT READY FOR WINTER!  LOL  But oh well... the seasons go
on.  Ok, this isn't getting any of the unpacking done.... see you all
soon!!  Love, Kim

newest member of the family.  She doesn't have a name yet, but she sure
is a cutie!! 
Any ideas for a name?  Love,  Kim

Ok, I should have posted
yesterday since I hit Onederland then!!  I finally am out of the 2's!!  Yeah
me!  A bright spot in my life!  Those are very few and far between right
now.  We are not having any luck at all with finding a new place to
live.  We have been looking closer to where my husbands job is so that I
can look for work also.  We live 30 miles from his work, and have only
one vehicle.  At this point in our lives, I am praying for a miracle. 
If its not one thing its another.  But I can't give up... its not in
me.... Hugs, Kim

Ok, I just had to post today!!  I
had 2 WOWs happen today.. first, since surgery, I have not been able to
walk into a store and just try on any new clothes.  It makes me just
tense right up, I can't breathe, I start to cry.... its an awful
experience.  WELL>>>>>  today, my daughter and I spent the day in Walmart, and
after about an hour I figured today would be the day.... AND I DID
IT!!!  And the 2nd WOW was that I shopped in the non-plus side!!  I got
into a 16 regular!!  I am so excited!  Here is a picture of my new
clothes.. I also bought a shirt.  Size lg!!  I am so happy!   
I also put my application into Menards, a new store opening in the
area.  They did interviews right on the spot.  Now all I have to do is wait
and see if I make it to the next round of interviews.  I sure am
hoping!!  Hope you all have a wonderful day!!  Love, Kim

Ok, this is a special post to
someone who - with the help of a couple of her friends, did something so
special for me...  (I still can't believe that you did this!) 

Words will never express the way you made me feel today.  After
everything I have been thru this past 6 months, today you made me feel like a
person again...   The gift you gave me may not seem like much, but for
me its one of the biggest "good things" that has happened in a long
time.  I am a very blessed person.  I have good people around me - my
wonderful family, the best of friends, and a special person who doesn't
live very close to me.  I have forgotten just how good things are for me,
and today I was reminded that even when things are not going good, I am
still very blessed.  Thank you for everything you have done.  And for
being my good friend!!  I love you!!

Here I am again.  Its been a while. 
A lot has been going on in my life and its not good.  Things are so
stressful for us right now, and it is affecting my weightloss.  I am not
gaining, which is good, but I am not losing either.  Life has been
dumping on us right and left.  We are looking for a place to live and not
having any luck at all.  The fact that we are in such financial straits
doesn't help.  I am currently waiting to hear on a temporary job in NY
that will give me a little income for the summer.  Its only temporary,
but it would help us to get out of the situation we are in.  The storms
knocked us without power for a whole week.  We lost all our groceries. 
With a little *big* help from a special friend, we were able to replace
some of what we lost.  You are forever in my heart my friend!!  What
you did and have done will not go unnoticed!  I promise you this! 

I haven't been updating because I just feel like I have nothing
positive to write.  And reading back, I notice this is true.  I try every day
to keep a positive outlook so that I don't sink into depression.  It
gets harder every day.  I am hoping for some good news this week about a
place we looked at.  But my guts are telling me its not going to
happen.   Ok....  enough of this.. I am outta here!  Have a good day all!

Hello everyone.  It's been a while since I have updated, but there is
so much going on in my life.  We are trying to get ready to move to
Florida.  We went there for a honeymoon and decided we liked it so much and
the jobs are so much more plentiful there than here we are going to
give it a chance.  It can't be any worse than living here has been!  So at
the moment we are in the process of selling most of our belongings, (we
won't have the room or the need for a lot of it anymore).  A lot of
mixed emotions about this.  A little over a week ago, I had to put my
Furface down, and it broke my heart.  Shay will be sadly missed in my
family.  I have finally stopped crying.... I think... and I want to do a
little memorial here for her.  So I am going to put a little poem and
picture of her here in my profile.  She was a great friend to our family. 
We all loved her so much. 

                           Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm
and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and
vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just
as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they
each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly
stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager
body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the
green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally
meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The
happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long
gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hello everyone!  Its been a
scorcher today!  Not feeling the greatest right now... got some sort of flu
bug going on. Yuck!  Oh well, it will pass!  Just thought I would hop in
here and update since I find that I am not at all faithful to this
updating business!  My one year anniversary passed with a total weight loss
in that years time of 145 lbs.  I am very happy with this number!  I am
currently only 5 lbs from Onederland!!!  OMG!  I haven't been there in
over 7 years!
Or maybe more?  I really can't remember!  Here is an updated picture
that my daughter took for me.  Have a great day!!!

My Story

 

Wooooo Hooooo!!! 

April 1st, 2007

Ok, I am finally going to get my profile up to date.  This is definately going to be a work in progress so please be patient with me.   My husband and Son are currently on their way back to Michigan to get a few more of our things and my Sons car, so I have so quiet time on my hands.  I just can't pass up the chance to do something with this profile that is in bad need of my words.  LOL 

We have moved to Florida and are getting settled into our new apartment.  It will be a while before we get to bring our furniture here, so we are making due with what we have.  It is definately interesting to say the least.  But I am still not complaining.  The weather is beautiful and the job prospects are huge!!  I am looking forward to starting our new life here.  Wishing you all the best life has to offer -  Kim
