I want it... I need it... I am scared....

Jul 27, 2010

I keep going back & forth on my decision to do this...but today my doctor told me I need to commit to it.  I have Diabetes and neropathy in my feet from herinated lower back discs... since I can't feel my feet I injure them all the time, and with Diabetes that is really bad.  I am only 50 years young and I really don't want to ever have to amputate anything.  SO, tomorrow I am going to be brave and call my Barriatric doctor and hopefully get things started.

I also learned something tonight... while thinking about this decision (at 2am while all are asleep) I searched through OH to add friends... I read alot of blogs and found it sure helps to read about other stories and their process, so I thought in case someone like me is out there looking for the same kind of supportive help or stories... I will try to keep up my blog. 

I can use all the support I can get (my environment is not very supportive) so if anyone wants to make a new friend (hint hint)...I AM HERE!
