9 Days & Counting !! on December 12, 2006 7:11 am
Just got off the phone with my surgeons office. I have to make another trip up before surgery on the 21st. At least I don't have to go thru all of it again..... but I should have known they would want to poke me again !! LOL !!
They also decided against doing the bladder surgery at the same time. Don't know why they changed their mind but they did. Maybe I won't be quite so miserable at Christmas :)
Hope everyone is doing well and have a great day !!

and So It Is......... on December 11, 2006 12:58 pm
10 more days and counting !!
Yes, this month has just flown by :) I think all the Christmas activity has kept me busy. I am also sleeping better this time :)
I scrolled thru my blogs here and didnt see where I had metioned this...if I missed it and did..sorry for the repeat.
While I was up having my " pats " Dr. Sudan made me an appt. for the same day with Dr. Chu. ( they are all right there....same floor even ). Dr. Chu was to check my bladder for any signs of the cancer being back. I had been cancer free for 2 years, or so I had thought. The red spots that my orginal Dr. said not to worry about... well turns out that it is back.... guess I had never been cancer free. This I just found out on the phone this afternoon. Its just a simple re-section of my bladder. So, they are going to take care of it, while I'm having my RNY also. That is a possibility of taking care of 3 things all in one. RNY, bladder, and gallbladder ( if they can get to it) if they cant get to the gallbladder then it will be down the road.
All this and I'm moving in January too !!!! Thankfully it's just across the street :)
I guess thats all for now....

I'm gonna start with yesterday... Went to omaha for my test. After all the worrying, it was a snap, They gave me sum meds, and I laid on the bed while they took sum pics. Everything came out good. So all was on for surgery. Until I got up this morning that is. I feel like crap. Running a fever, sore throat, and coughing. I called dr office and got another date, Dec. 21, unless something comes up sooner. I'm not happy about another months wait, but I guess it will get here again.
Thats about all for now,
Huggs & Blessings,

After Some Thinking........ on November 26, 2006 6:12 am
Happy Birthday to me !!
As I sit here this morning thinking about the past year, I realize just how much I have accomplished. I was having a baaad week last week, and I still don't know for sure if I will be able to have my surgery as scheduled on the 29th, but after my pity party, I've decided..... So what if I can't have it on the 29th ?? ( Not that I'm not wishing and praying with all I have that I still can ). This is the only stumbling block I've ran into since I started this journey. If not this Wensday.... then next week or 2 weeks. After all its for a better surgery and we all know how important that is. So, I'm going to do myself and my family a favor, and just enjoy the day and not stress about it !! I guess I forgot to leave it in God's hands.... no more forgetting...I put it there, I'm leaving it there :)
I've also decided to share my list of things I'm looking forward to after surgery. It will also serve as a reminder of why I decided to do this... if I ever get the " why did I ever do this to myself ?? " state of mind !!
These are in no particular order............
* Get off blood pressure meds.
* Being able to soak in a nice hot tub, instead of a shower all the time.
* Being able to actually get down on the floor to play a game with my grandaughters.
* Find clothes in regular sizes....instead of plus size.
* Wear jeans without elastic waist.
* Being able to go horseback riding.... w/o worring about killing the horse.
* Having more energy....not being so tired all the time.
* Getting my knee replacements ( they won't do them until I reach 180 )
* Wear sexy lingerie ( and actually look sexy ).
* To feel as beautiful as Serge ( my fiancee ) tells me I am.
* Being able to walk without shortness of breath.
* To grow old...knowing I have lived my life to the fullest.
* Alot of women want to be able to cross their legs... I want to be able to sit " Indian style " again !!
I'm sure I'll come up with more and I'll post them at that time. But for now......
Y'all have a great day !!!!
Huggs & Blessings,
Lori

My Story Lets see, where do I start. I didn't start out a chubby baby, child, teen, or even young adult. When I was pregnant for my only child, I did gain alot of weight, but it also came off fast after delivery. I've worked all my life, majority of that time in convience store work. Not too much exercise there, started gaining slowly then had a pretty good fall and hurt my knees. From there it went downhill. Couldn't do a whole lot, managed to work for a little while longer, have been off work now for 3 years,not able to exercise, its hard to even walk w/o pain and the weight just piled on.I need knee replacement surgery on both knees, but only after I lose down to 180. I've tried all kinds of diets, only to lose some weight and gain it right back. So, this is my final, desperate attempt at getting a healthy life back. So...The Journey Begins.........
