Well the last two weeks have been tough.  I have been doing water therapy 3 to 4 times a week and after seeing my ortho last week will have to undergo another scope to see if he can clean it up and inject some meds to get me through a little while longer.  This has been a struggle for the last 5 years.  I was hoping getting the weight off would help and I know in the long run it has it's just I want to be further along than I am with being able to get around.  I know it is baby steps to acheive the main goal.  I have been in a stall for the last 2 weeks.  Week before last I lost 1/2 pound and this week nothing.  I can tell that my clothes are looser so I am sure I am losing inches.  I saw my dr a few weeks back and he said I was doing fine.  I did blood work for the first time this past Wed and that came back okay as well.  I would like to know the numbers but I guess I'll get that info in a few weeks when I see my dr again.  Well now I just have to have continued patience and I know the scale will start to move again.

Well dad went home from the hospital this week and is doing fine.  I am back to a more regular routine.  I went to the dr today and my have a stricture they are going to do a scope next week to see if it is that or possibly the beginnings of an ulcer.  With everything we have been through in the last three weeks there is no telling.  It could be just stress but better safe than sorry.  I am working on getting my protein and water in and look forward to a better week.
