Real date with The Hubs (& my last egg roll?)!

Feb 12, 2012

Had a great day today. Slept in (yippee! didn't have to get up at zero dark thirty to go to a doctor's appointment!). The Hubs suggested we go on a date. Pretty nice! 

This Wednesday will be the 26th anniversary of when we met. Oh LAHD. We have had a tumultuous relationship from the beginning. That's an understatement. So the fact that we went on a date (we've gone on a few since my son left for college) is a huge step forward in our lives together. 

My mood has improved exponentially since 1/25/2012 when I got approved for my RNY surgery. I have depression & have for decades. I've also been overweight since I was about 6 years old. I feel like I'm finally going to be able to live my life (you know, like the

) when I get skinny. 

We went to see the movie The Descendants. It was poignant & timely, considering part of the plot involves a woman in a coma & how her previously-uninvolved husband was attempting to deal with her possible death, & I'm getting ready to have major surgery. I secretly hoped Ed was ruminating about that. He works long hours & has been a part-time parent some of the time. 

Afterwards, we went out for Chinese food. I ordered an egg roll, & I figure it'll be my last one. I mean, RNY notwithstanding, they aren't really good for you, right? It was freezing out (26 degrees actually) & I had about 3 layers on. I thought how great it was going to be when I can wear layers & not feel like the Michelin Man. 

This is going to be a busy week. I have appointments with my nutritionist (two, actually), mental health counselor, cardiologist (nuclear stress test), surgeon's physician's assistant, & a three-hour information seminar at the hospital with The Hubs. Whew! I've covered the gamut the past three weeks. My appointment tomorrow is in the late afternoon, so I can sleep in again! wooHOO! 

TTYL!
