Been awhile since writing

Jul 12, 2011

Its been awhile since writing and a lot has gone on.  I decided to take the other job I was offered.  My current employer though apparently did not like it and let me go early into my resignation.  This meant a scramble to get my gall bladder taken out (which was already scheduled from the first of the year).  I ended up having it out and having complications.  Apparently I have an ancillary cystic bile duct that is not common.  When the gall bladder came out, this duct opened up and leaked bile into my abdomen.  After two weeks of intermittent pain, I was back in surgery.  Normally a procedure could have taken care of it, but due to the RNY, that route was blocked.  I am on the mend and scheduled to start my new job on Monday.

In the meantime...on the 22nd of June, before my gall bladder removal, I was 179.  I was thrilled to break the 180's.  Today I am 171.  I have been on and off NPO status so much the past couple of weeks that I've lost weight.  It is not the good kind of loose weight either!

Anyway, I am making it and doing OK at the moment.  I hope that I have a good check up from this latest surgery.  I should know by Thursday.
