5 months out.
Apr 14, 2008
Well yesterday was my 5 months out date. I am down 87# I know it would be alot more if we were not in the process of packing and getting ready to move in just 2 1/2 weeks.. I have not been on the computer hardly at all and I am seriously slacking on replying to my friends. But I will write back when we are moved and set up. Things have been so hectic here I could not even begin to tell you LOL. I have been tryin to spend some time with my friends here before we leave and getting all that we need to done before hand. Its just not that easy LOL.. I dont get to exercise near as much as I should be but again that is something I will do when we get down to Fort Bragg NC. I plan to really step up the working out.. OK I am thrilled that I am wearing a size 18 in jeans from a 26-28 and I got myself some size lg shirts and they fit.. I have not worn these sizes in a long long time.. Like 14 yrs... Hubby will be taking pics today and I will post them eventually..
Our net will be off soon so it might not be on for awhile with the move and all..
OK that is all for now LOL.. I have been so short on time...
Love to all...

My surgery experience :)
Nov 23, 2007
I went into this surgery with very very little fear really.. I had already told hubby what I wanted and what if something happened etc.
Day of surgery Bill and I went into the hospital and I was calm and laughing with hubby. We were taken back to the pre-op room and I got into my gown, IV etc. Anesthesia came in and offered me something to relax with but I didnt feel I needed anything since I was laughing etc LOL.. Well they wheeled me back into OR and I was just chit-chatting with the nurses and next thing I know I am waking up. I had a bit of pain but they fixed that quick. I thought I was gonna throw up but they gave me drugs to stop that. All was well there. We were on our way to my room in no time. Hubby met up with me in the hall outside the waiting room. I was back to my room around 4 (surgery at 1) Hubby had to leave to come home to the kids at around 6. I got up and walked a couple loops around the floor and went back to bed. Got to relax and sleep and try to watch a movie LOL. The next day hubby didnt get to come till 2 (thanks Army for letting my hubby come see me...) We walked around a while watched Shrek the third and he had to come home to the kids again. I walked a bunch more and went back to bed and watched a Lifetime movie :) Thursday my surgeon came in and cleared me to go home, the nurse removed my drain tube and iv and let me shower etc till hubby got there around 1 (thanks again to the army for letting him come get me...) We stopped at walmart to pick up a couple things I was gonna need I didnt already have. Got home and relaxed. Felt so good to be home.. Its a week and 2 days since surgery and all is well. I stopped my pain meds around day 4-5 and my incisions are looking real good. They are tender sometimes but usually fine. Been walking around and drinking lots. I go to the DR on Monday I cant wait to see what I have lost already :D
