I went to my nutrition visit yesterday(7-14-08) and I finally got some good news that I was happy about. Instead of it being the first of six visits it was the second of six.June the nutritionist allowed my first June 17th appointment to count as my first visit. I have been going through some ups and downs but I sincerely have overcome a lot. On July 3rd I was basically bedridden and I had no clue what was going on with me.I was able to get into my pcp on the 8th and found I had inflammation of the muscles from my hip to my scapula(shoulder blade). My pcp put me on a muscle relaxer for three days and I also have been using a cane for the last week.It's to offset the weight from my hip/leg to my hand and it helps which is really good. But out of all this with not being able to exercise since the third I was still able to lose one and half pounds because of my dietary changes.Small progress but a great progress because any change is the right change :)

I got the call from BIDMC my echocardiogram came back fine I was so relieved to know that. I was stressing while I was waiting for the results to come back.She also asked me if I started my B12 shots Vitamin D wanted to know if I got my antibiotics for the H.Pylori and I have done everything.Now I have my second seminar to go to then they will schedule the appointment with the surgeon. Then I will sign what I need to sign and I will wait patiently to see how long my insurance company will decide to make me wait. I am praying with everything going on they will be kind and allow me to go through with it sooner than later. I will be greatful for anytime though just to know my future will be looking better and my health will become strong again is all I really need to feel at the moment. Like I always say day by day and step by step and as each step it taken I move forward that much easier.
