4 Weeks!

May 26, 2010

Well, it is after midnight so today I am officially 4 weeks post op! Yipee! This last few weeks has flown by. I come home from work most days pretty wiped out and dive on the couch for a little nap, but other than that I am feeling really good. I had a 1 month post op appointment a couple days ago and he said I was doing really well and cleared me to do whatever I want to do, which does NOT include laundry or housework!
A couple days before I went out for surgery we had our monthly staff meeting at work, I had already told my staff what I was having done, but I was only taking 10 days off, some of my long time clients knew what I was doing but I told the staff to just say I was on vacation. Apparently 2 of them just couldn't contain themselves and told EVERYONE that I was out for surgery!! So, of course then the clients asked if I was o.k. so then they told them "She's having that weight loss surgery." I went to the bank to take deposits and get change for work and the bank manager told me I sure was looking shrink o licious, a nice comment, but I was really caught off guard when she went on to tell me that one staff member in particular had been in the bank taking the deposit and was blabbing to them how I was out getting "That weight loss surgery" I am proud of my decision and what I did, but it is MY decision to tell people. I made it clear to the staff that it was my personal medical information and to please stop telling the whole world my personal business. Then, I went to that 1 month post op appointment on my lunch break, when I came back in the same one who told the whole banks customer said, "Well, your back from the Dr. so how much have you lost?" This was not even a regular customer of hers, it was the very first time this lady had ever been into our salon! I just looked at her and the staff member and I said, "Oh, is she giving out my personal medical information again?" and I went about my business. WTF! What is so exciting and juicy about my business? Not a wise decision, I can tell you that for sure, not wise to keep gossiping about your boss, especially this one in particular who keeps messing up things at work and whom is within her 90 days probation period still, not wise at all! A stylist I use to work for came in today to see me and talk about a job, I don't have an opening right now but I sat down with her and did her interview right then because I think I will be hiring in the very near future! The blabber came back from lunch while I was talking to her and asked right in front of her if she was her replacement! This blabber worked in a salon with my mom when I was a teenager so I have known her forever, but work is work, I am there to run my store and do my clients, not to be friends. I am very easy to get along with but once a line is crossed I am just done, that line has been leaped over! Well, they can gossip, and they can kiss my shrinking @$$!
Including the weight I lost pre-op I have lost 75 pounds! It feels good to be a looser!
