It's been a long time/Update
Mar 05, 2012
I figured it was high time that I actually post an update on how things are going since I'm now almost 8 years post-op. Some days are still better than others, healthwise, but I'm hanging in there. My personal life couldn't be going any better than it is... husband and kids are doing wonderful, built a beautiful home almost 6 mos ago, and we're almost civilians from the Air Force due to Medical Retirement. It will be nice to have all the benefits with no one of the B.S. . He is more than qualified for so many jobs with having a Master's degree and a Doctorate underway so the future looks bright for us. We'll spend a few more years here while he finishes his schooling and then move on to bigger and better opportunities for all. I am still selling Real Estate and staying positive through all the ups & downs of the market. I've hung on through all the highs and lows of the last 6 years so I'm not giving up now or ever =). Plus, I can get my license in any state and easily transition. I look forward to any changes that come my way, especially a larger city with more to do, even if it's 4 to 4 1/2 years away yet LOL.
My weight is a little higher right now than I'd like it to be with all my deficiencies and neurological issues, plus the sheer amount of meds I take in a day, but I'm proactive and busting my tail to get it back off or mostly back off. I am mostly determined just not to self-deprecate myself all the time about it.
I am a person who is worthy of great things, as are we all, and I'm more determinded than ever to see them through. One thing I've begun doing is putting a positive affirmation of the day by desk at work every day to motivate me. So far, it's working in keeping my spirits up.
I have 2 herniated disks in my back and I've started back up the C25K program... I must be the biggest glutton for punishment in the world, so wish me luck.
Much love, coffee, and bacon to all of you!
