step by step

Sep 04, 2010

I have just completed the first lab work and EKG.  I completed the initial questionnaires and sent them to Dr. Eagon's office yesterday.. had the lab work and EKg done same day.  The next step is to make my appointments with the behavioural and physical therapists along with the dietician.   I will do that on Tuesday, I guess. 
I am feeling pretty nervous about all of this, but it is a good nervous.  Having them draw FIVE tubes of blood started to make it all pretty real.   My family is VERY supportive and excited for me.  We keep talking about all the things we will do together when I have lost the weight. 
I am looking forward to walking again.. not just here to there, but in marathons! I used to walk in the Muscular Dystrophy walk-a-thon every year and enjoyed it SO much.  I plan to do that again.   My youngest daughter is excited because my loss of weight will mean SHOPPING!!  Not MY favorite pasttime by any stretch of the imagination, but I will need new clothes. 
I mostly look forward to feeling better.  Being able to have shoes with laces again.. wearing heels.. wearing dresses again.. feeling good in my own skin again.
I definitely see HOPE at the end of this journey.   God is with me every step of the way and my FAITH will guide me through it all.
