Surgeon Testimonial

Roderick Tompkins M.D.,F.A.C.S.
Dr. Tompkins is all about business. He is straightforward, is excellent in answering questions, and has an aura about him that projects positivity and comfort toward his patients.rnrnHis office is extremely effective in helping patients navigated through the journey to surgery. They are easily accessible and are excellent at returning calls.rnrnDr. Tompkins is no doubt competent in his work. His bedside manner is very good. He seems to be a busy man and wish I had more time with him instead of nurses or aids......but I really didn't need the time with him. He is very likeable and is easy to talk to.rnrnI never once felt scared or uncomfortable.

Sick
on May 31, 2008 4:57 am
Have been up since 4 am.  I am sick.....and tired....and getting leg cramps which means dehydration.................sipping water now.
Not going to work today.  I think all the meds from yesterday are beginning to take a toll on my body.
Going to try to get some rest.............and I still have 16 more pills to take today

New Worries
on May 30, 2008 4:01 pm
Needing to vent:

I got stuck with a contaminated needle at work!  
Now on antibiotics and 16 pills a day for HIV Post Exposure treatment.  I wont' know the results of the inmates blood work until next week............i pray it is negative.  Besides getting HIV, Hepatitis or another communicable disease, I am worried about the side effects of all those meds......flu-like symptoms, cramping, fatigue......don't know how my body will handle all of that right now.  I notified my Dr. and was advised to go ahead and take them.  

Wish me luck on that!

Stall Over????
on May 28, 2008 6:40 am
Hopefully my stall is over.  I weighed in at 187 this morning.  Seems like forever since I had seen the scale move!

Have not been dedicated to journaling my meals like I should.  Tightening up on that!  Also have been busy with other things and my walking has slacked to 2-3 times a week.  Gotta do better in that area too.
I see where I am slacking and really need to get moving again.  

Vacation is in 2 weeks and I am going shopping for a couple of new outfits and a swimsuit next Tuesday.  That should be motivation enough for me!!!

Friday :)
on May 23, 2008 6:06 am

Had my first Pilates class yesterday.  I am still sore.  Especially my stomach, thighs, and butt.  I need the toning and am excited to see how much difference it will make.

Have done pretty good with my intake and vitamins.  Had my blood sugar checked yesterday........it was low......55.   Am struggling to keep it where it needs to be.

Getting ready to go to work.  Work late tonight and tomorrow...but I get a 4 day weekend!!!

2 more days until I weigh in and measure.  The wait is hard.  I feel like I am going to lose inches vs. pounds this time.

Long Day
on May 15, 2008 3:33 pm
Had a not so good day.
Woke up weaker than usual.....have been really weak the past couple of weeks.   Went to work, still lightheaded, and getting dizzy when i stand up.  Called the Dr., and they told me to come on in.  

All my labs were good and in range.  Problem was my blood sugar and my blood pressure.  Both low.  Also recommended I drink more liquids to stay hydrated.
Turns out that the little dark chocolate coffee drink............caffeine and a little bit of sugar, was causing my blood sugar to spike then I'd bottom out.  I had originally thought this would help my mood and give me some energy.......but it's not!  Have already stopped it!

So, I got home a little after 5.  I hadn't eaten since 11:30 am, and was really jittery.  Started fixing me a little something to eat, and even started making pizza for my husband and son..............and my son complained he'd probably have pizza for lunch at school tomorrow, and my husband wanted to know what else I was going to make!?!?!?!??!  Because 2 pizzas's weren't enough!?!?!?  I lost it.  I started crying, then cursing.  I was so mad at them.  I am sure it was because I was already tired and just wanted to eat and lay down.  And partially because they could have fixed dinner before I got home............knowing I had a 1 1/2 hr. drive each way to the Dr.
My husband is still mad at me............because I got mad at him.  How childish is that?  And it's our freakin' anniversary!  Not a lot of lovin' going on in this house tonight.
Had to vent and get it all out.

Fun Evening Already
on May 14, 2008 2:23 pm
Had an ok day at work.
Didn't do well with getting in much protein or anything for that matter.  But I felt good.
I repelled from the top of a 5 story tower this evening.  I love the rush it gives me.  So glad I can do things like that without worrying what I look like or if I am too big to participate.
Going to go for my evening walk in a few.  Letting my dinner digest.  I had a soy B-B-Q rib.  It was delicious.
