Finally going back to work.
on July 19, 2011 8:50 pm
Well I know that I have not posted since I came home from the hospital but this has been a rough road for me.  The first 3-4 weeks were great.  Then I started vomitting and not keeping things down and I had awlful pains in my stomach.  June the 13 they found out I had an ulcer.  I started treatment for that and then I was so fatigued I mean I was not just tired I was exhausted.  They started doing bloodwork and found out that my thiamine was low.  I had one injection at a local er and then the next week I ended back in the hospital where they found out that my potassium and folic acid was low also.  After many iv's acutally they had 2 going in me at one time.  I got to come home.  I went to the doctor last week and he is letting me go back to work this coming Monday.  If it were up to me I would just stay home but we have to have a roof over our heads and eat.  I just want to get into a routine and start a good exercise program.  I am still tired but he said that even he could tell that my color was a lot better and he could even tell it in my voice that I had some energy back.  When will my energy be back.  Anyway.  Looking forward to my first grandbaby we find out what it is thursday I am so excited.   My husband is taking me to Pigeon Forge this Thursday for a long weekend before I return to work.  Just need to figure out about eating out.  Have not done that since my surgery May 9.  And I will be eating every meal out.  Any suggestions.

Pre-Op at Hospital, Bone Denisty Scan and Dietician...
on April 18, 2011 5:22 pm

Well one more step Closer.  I had my pre op at the CMC Mercy today with blood drawn, went over paper work and registered for surgery and paid copay for hospital.  Then I had to go to Dr. Gersin's office for my Bone Density Scan and a Dietary Class to go over the entire diet they have laid out for me.  I also met two very sweet women, one is scheduled to have surgery right after me on May 9th and then the other is scheduled the Morning after.  I think being in the class with multiple people helped with a lot of questions because sometimes people think of questions you haven't.  Wednesday is my last visit with Dr. Gersin before surgery on May 9th.  I am so nervous but excited.  Hoping for the best with the 2 week pre op diet.  Thank God for the girls I work with they are going to try to stick to the diet with me for encouragment.  Also my daughter and my husband is going to try.  I am so thankful for my support group I have.  I am leaving to go on a camping trip with my Husband and son Thursday to Lake Wateree in South Carolina,  hoping for some rest and quiet time to reflect on what is about to happen and to have a good time with the boys since the rest of the summer will be all about losing this weight.  Happy Easter everybody!
