Eugene W. Rumsey M.D.
I met with Dr. Rumsey today and I thought he was absolutely wonderful. He seemed very caring and very intelligent. I am definitely happy that he will be my surgeon. rnrnI had my surgery with Dr. Rumsey on 7/10/07 and I just love him. I couldn't speak more highly of him. He is amazing.

I have a job!
posted on 8/28/08 1:58 pm
I have a job!  I interviewed about 6 weeks ago and got a call last week that I was hired at Cal State.  It's pretty exciting.  I loved being home with the boys but I was getting pretty bored.  It worked out nicely in the sense that I was able to take them to their first day of school then start work the next day.

It's hard that I am making 00 a month less and we were barely making it before but somehow life works itself out.  How did we make it 8 months with me not having a permanent job?  I have to believe in a higher power when a miracle happens.  I worked 2 nights a week at a restaurant and got unemployment (legally because I wasn't full-time) and actually made close to what I am going to bring home now.  AND... I got to be a stay at home mom for a while.  Not to mention I wasn't spending a fortune in gas.

So, on a weight loss note.  I have lost 107 pounds and I actually saw 128 pounds on my scale.  My goal was 130 but I could stand to see 120.  However, if I don't lose another ounce, I am thrilled!  I found a card that Steve and Luana had us fill out last summer with our goals on it,  know what?  I've achieved all of them that I wrote.  I am wearing a size 6, I fit into riding gear for my quad, I ran in a marathon and I went to Knotts this summer and felt great.  I wasn't embarrassed or uncomfortable at all.  What a feeling!!!! 

My goal is to now focus on being more active and more involved with my kids.  I'm still really uncomfortable with getting out and playing with them so that is my new goal.  I take great care of their needs but I want them to remember me playing with them.  They aren't going to look back and say, "Gee mom, you bought us great clothes".  They don't care about that stuff. 

So in closing, I am so grateful for this surgery and I plan to keep the new me that I have found underneath those 107 pounds.
