MY "WOW" LIST
Aug 11, 2009
This morning while soaking in the tub which I don't do very often usually taking showers (but I do it when I need to soften up my feet.) I was thinking about all the WOW moments because I just realized that I don't have an itchy flake scalp anymore and so I thought you know I ought to go on OH and make a list and encourage others to make a WOW list. It would be fun and entertaining but mostly very encouraging. So here is my list.1. My diabetes is under control with no or very little medication. I had been on insulin shots for 12 years and had been taking U500 Insulin which is 5 X stronger than normal, so I was taking equal to 400 units of that plus a shot of quick acting insulin before meals and my sugar was still almost always over 200. Below 120 is normal.
2. My Blood Pressure is under control with 1/2 of a pill and I was on 3 meds for years.
3. I do not have sleep apnea anymore. So I do not have to sleep on a CPAP machine.
4. I do not have Asthma anymore. I was using 2 kinds of medication for that .
5. I do not have dry itchy scalp with sores in my hair anymore(never had that diagnosed)
6 I can walk without pain most of the time. I absolutely could not walk in any store or stand in line at all. I was in so much pain that I couldn't walk from the car to sit and watch my grand kids play soccer without assistance. When my DH was in the hospital I had to have a wheelchair just to be with him. I had to ride a cart if I went anywhere. Now I mow my lawn and walk anywhere!
7 On my 52nd b-day I weighed less than I had in 20 years and felt better too!
8. After having 2 stints in my heart a year before RNY I do not have to see a cardiologist for a year!
9 I was on 14 medications (Prescriptions) Now I take 5.
10. I am now wearing size 16 clothes and I wore 26 before. That is 5 sizes!
11. I can sit in any booth at a restaurant and my belly doesn't rub the steering wheel in my car anymore.
12. I don't have acid reflux (GERD) anymore!
13. I can fit in an airplane seat and feel comfortable about it.
Wow, the list goes on and on. But these are the ones that I feel are most important. Everyone interested please make a list and lets just entitle it: MY WOW LIST OK? I am so inspired by this! Hope y'all are too! Love to all ! Annette
