Surgeon Testimonial

Jamal Farhan, M.D.
Dr. Farhan and his nurse P.A. Nancy were both excellent. I didn't meet either until I was out of surgery. Dr. Farhan did a nice job. I don't have any complications at this point, and my incisions look really healthy.

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

Down and out
posted on 3/30/08 3:24 pm
I'm feeling a bit down and out today.  Yesterday was so nice and sunny, and I was finally able to spend some time outside.  Today is a bit colder and darker, and I just want to crawl into bed.  Unfortunately, I have work to do.  I'm trying to make up for the 2 days I was out of work and in the hospital with my Dad.  He had his 6th heart surgery, and the prognosis isn't very bright.  He keeps having issues in this one area, and the doc said it's only a matter of time before he has major issues.  So, that is weighing a bit heavy on my mind.  That's one more reason I'm glad I'm taking the steps to a healthier me... dang sticky lipids and small veins run through my Dad's side of the family.  My Mom also had surgery.  She had a bladder 'pacemaker' installed.  Oh the things I have to look forward to!

On the lighter side, I bought a size 18/20 top (from Wal-Mart) yesterday, and it fits.  Woo hoo!  Eventhough the scale and been stuck, I can at least feel like I'm still moving in the right direction.

I got a letter from the GI doc.  I'm scheduled for my 3rd scope (and possible dilation) on April 16th.  I'm so sick of liquid/soft foods!  In some way, I think the soft food diet I'm on is contributing to my plateau.  I also think my medication may play a role in it, too.  So... I've stopped taking my (beginner does) lexapro.  And to push it a bit further, I've stopped taking my lopressor.  My heart rate has been in the 50s, lower than the 60-80 it should be.  My BP still runs high late in the date (probably from work stress), so I need to schedule an appointment with my PCP to discuss other options.  

My scale is reading 260 today.  Darn thing must be broke =}
