I am ready to move along

So i had my surgery on Monday.  It was/is still ok.  I am pain in my shoulder and pain in my lower abdomen when I use my abs.  I have to take out my morphine ball and it makes me nervous, my hair is a wreck and I need to take a shower.  I can only fart/BM every once and a while, which makes since because all I am having is water, jello, and my surgar free popsicles.  I am sooo ready for this healing process to be over.  So I can actually work on changing my life.... Ugh.... And being off birth control sucks cause I am an emotional wreck. 

Well thats the update so far..... Too bad its gloomy outside, I would love to take a walk....

You know when you are laying in bed and under the covers and you need to get up.... And you have to rock back and forth in order to get out... Yeah its time to change this bull shit.  I just want to feel good again and be able to paint my toes with out getting in the weirdest positions.  IT IS TIME!!!!!!!!! I know I have to patient.... Only about 3 more months (hopefully)!!!

My Story

Hello Everyone! My name is Rachel,I'm 22 and I live in Denver, Colorado.  I have a wonderful live-in boyfriend, Evan and we just bought a house together.  I also have 3 dogs, Mister, Lucy and Littles which are like my kids. I am an accounting assistant right now for a Marketing and Advertising company and I love it there, but my true passion is animals.  That about sums up my current life, now for the juicy stuff.
I have always stuggled with weight back to the third grade.  I've always been "bigger" than all my friends and I am sick of it.  I have already had my consultation with Dr. Snyder, now I am just taking steps to getting approved! Though it may not be until April 09 because thats when I can get full short term disability.    But right now I am just ready to get the surgery done and out of the way and start my new, healthier, happier life.
