Walking Further On My Journey. 2nd. Post

Jun 17, 2011

It is a hot Saturday evening here in the south Alabama.  This week has been busy in the process of ending my 180 days of weigh ins.  That will be Monday, June 20th.  Just Thursday I called my surgeons office to see if all my medical records had been sent from my family physicians office.  The answer was 'some'.  And not what was asked for.  So another trip to the physicians office to sign another consent for records with an even more detailed note of what the surgeon needs printed on it.  I am hopeful that it will be sent.

Just the other day, Wednesday, I was asked to see a therapist for food issues.  This was to help me set to mind steps to success with my wls.  Strange kinda little guy.  But, I am to see this person for 6 weeks prior and that being once a week.  I figure I can do this.  However, he did send me homework and lots of it.  Reading and forms to fill out and of course a food journal.

So,  I am looking forward to Monday of my last weigh in for my final 180 days and then all my info faxed to the surgeons' office.  Then I should have a call for my BEGIN class.

My question that has croped up is: During this process has any of you felt displaced?  Not connected?  Let's see....as if you are in limbo?  That is how I feel.  Strange.  It is as if  on the inside of me there is Shandel, the regular person and I have been held hostage almost in a prison I put myself in.  And the jail break is so soon.

I went and put on layaway my child's school uniforms today.  I am a teacher at her school and I too must purchase uniforms, however, I am waiting because I will have had my surgery before school starts back.  In August I will know what size to get and THAT will change also.   It just feels strange.

Enough of that.  I am grateful to be this close.  I thank my LORD Jesus for getting me here and taking me all the way.
