I am depressed
on February 9, 2008 10:54 am

WakiNG up today sucked!  Just thinking at how CLOSE I was to fullfilling this commitment to myself and then having it ripped out from under me again has really left me feeling hopeless.  I know that it will happen...at least I "think" it will happen.  I am not going to believe it anymore until I am hooked up to an IV and being wheeled to the OR.  Once was a blow to the Gut...twice has been a blow to the heart!  I know that the Doc was sick and it is BEST that he cancelled all his surgeries for 2 days...but it really sucks to have to go thru another weekend not having a date in sight or even knowing if it is going to be another month until I have a date again!  This is just NOT fair! I am trying my best NOT to become depressed...but as I sit her...it is 11am...this is the time I would have left for the hospital...so YES...it is a bit depressing.  Why can't things just go "As Planned" for me like they have for other people?  I am just one of those people that, "if it's going to happen, it's going to happen to me!"

I am praying for a new date monday...maybe the doc will operate next weekend!

OMG! Only 2 days to go! I am soooo excited! I did pre-op yesterday and it all went very well! I am now just counting down the hours. Today is Bryan's birthday and I will have my "Last Meal" with him before surgery! I am going to have CHEESECAKE! Mmmm. I will miss that! (I think!) So, I am on the downside of this thing! Here is info on the hospital!

Last Lunch with OH Friends!

 


Well, yesterday was my 2 weeks mark before surgery. I woke up feeling much better than I had for the past 4 days. I had finally broke my fever and did not have to visit the "Porceline God" for some unwanted pucking! I also discovered that I had lost a FULL 14 lbs during my illness! I was really excited too, because I was going to be going to my "Last Lunch" at a home in Dinuba. The home belonged to Brian and Annette. Brian had surgery in December and his wife Annette is working on her approval at the moment. There were about 11 of us there and it was very nice getting to meet some of the people that I chat with on the OH boards on a daily basis. It was fun getting to hear their stories and things that make this life change work for them. I am a sponge and took it all in, hoping that it would benefit me down the road! One of the girls (Anici) brought me a $20 gift card for Mervyn's for my new "me" outfit! She also brought me a Peanut Butter Pie for my last YUMMY! What a nice time! I really appreciated every moment of it. It made this surgery become very real to me!
By the way...Heather is 4 weeks out now and down 4o or so lbs. She is looking HOT!
13 days and counting!!!

Central Valley CRUD

Central Valley CRUD

 

OK...so I have been sick! Not just a little sick...A LOT sick! I have been throwing up, running a fever, chills...YOU NAME IT!!! I had another miserable night last night, so I made an appointment with one of the docs on base and he says I have the "Central Valley Crud." Whatever the hell they call it...it sucks!!! I am 16 days and some odd hours till my surgery and am praying that I recover in the next few days! I hate, hate, hate being sick!!!

I am really getting excited about surgery. I can't believe it is so soon. I can't believe I am finally getting the chance to take my life back! I don't think I will realize how life altering this is going to be until I start seeing the drastic changes in my body and my health. You know...now that I am getting ready to go thru this surgery...it has really made me open my eyes to everyone around me. How and why "we" emotional eaters do what we do best! I have been able to get off the soda's and take a step back when I am wanting to eat for emotional reasons. It is amazing to think of all the crap I have put in my body over the years. Especially the cokes!!! Damn, that crap cleans the toilet rings off of our toilet...so I wonder what it did to my insides??? I guess I really don't want to know to be honest with you!!!
Well, that's it for now. Keep me in positive thoughts for speedy healing!
