DT - The last hoorah!
on January 28, 2007 3:29 pm

So, me and some friends went out downtown last night for, what I like to call, my last hoorah!  I had so much fun!!! However, I now remember why I don't do stuff like that anymore. The most I've had to drink in the past year is one, maybe two at most, beer(s). 

We started at the Lyons Pub for some watermelon shots and a bite to eat. Jen F brought in some Saki.  Ick!!! I will NEVER do that again. It went down, came up, then went down... eventually... again. 

Next on the the Annex; but we couldn't get in. One of the guys only had the "clipped" liscense. So, on to the 90's. It was a lot of fun there. I like the Retro bar for the music and dancing. We danced all night. Well.... just until 1am... when they kicked everyone out. 

So, today was a killer! I felt so sick! And my head felt like it was going to explode. I was in bed most of the day. But was it worth it? Oh, heck yeah!!! Fun was had by all!!!


Time off approved.... surgery on!
on January 19, 2007 7:39 pm

Ok! So I freaked out for a moment. What's a girl to do? Today I found out that the time off was approved. So, yeay, surgery is on. Wow, everyone was right. I got way too ahead of myself. So, from now on, I leave it all up to faith. This is going to happen. It's really going to happen!


surgery cancelled?
on January 17, 2007 7:49 pm
So, yesterday I was told that my boss may not let me have the time off for surgery. I have not worked there for a year yet. My year date will be July 17th. Man, I really don't want to wait until then. I posted on the Minnesota forum and recieved some wonderful advice. So, I will be patient once again. And I will take things as they come. And if I have to wait.... well, I guess there is nothing I can do about it. So, why worry?

Nutrition consult
on January 12, 2007 7:03 pm
I met with the nutritionist today. I am so happy that I can do Slim Fast. Yummy! Although I may not think so after the liquid diet. Ick! I am not looking forward to that. I am actually very nervous! My job is quite active. I can be on the move from start to finish. I am worried that I will burn all the calories before I get them in me. Well, if everyone else can do it, so can I. I am also excited that I can have toast and peanut butter when I graduate up to soft foods. Yumalicious!!! All went well with the nutritionist. I was only there for 1/2 hour. I had read the book like 50 million times before I got there. So, I think that helped. I can't wait for surgery!!!

Surgery Date!!!
on January 7, 2007 11:35 am
Wow! I have a date! I met with my surgeon last Thursday. What a long day! I had my abdominal u/s at 0715. The guy at the front desk was so hilarious and made me feel so comfortable. But the tech that did the u/s had no sense of humor. I kept making jokes and cracking myself up... no response from her.

Then came the info meeting with the nurse. It was suppose to be at 0830. It didn't start until 0930. I felt so bad. My friend Tollie came along for the ride. She could have slept in another hour. I guess they had a meeting in the am; but I never got a call to come in later. I was fine; but I felt bad for Tollie. Well, the nurse went over the pre-op instructions. Very interesting. Wow! I'm learning about pre-op!!! Have I really come this far?

Finally, I meet with Terri Barker. She has been such an angel for me through this whole ordeal. I don't know what I'd do without her. I need to send her an ovation!! Must remember..... Okay, anyway, Tom Jones is my surgeon. The meeting with him was short. But only because I didn't have a lot of questions. He seems really cool! He is like a cuddly little teddy bear! Hee, hee. 

After I saw him I went on to set up my surgery. It is set for February 22nd. Wow! That's only six weeks away. I have so much more to do. I still have my nutritional consult, then my pre-op physical, then surgery. 

My house is a mess. I want it spotless before surgery. I also have to go grocery shopping for all my liquids and pureed stuff. I bought a Magic Bullet. I can't wait to use it! 

I'M SO EXCITED!!! 

OH! I almost forgot! What a doodle head! I met with the ladies for SW coffee yesterday. Everyone is so nice. I had a blast.
