Good News...and Bad News...

Jan 12, 2010

Well first I will say HI to all you guys. I know I have been gone for a while but since the last time I posted sooo much has happened in my life. For the bad stuff...

On Christmas Eve we had to call 911 because my great grandma Nora was having complications. We found out a year ago that she had cancer but we don't know how long she had it. Well she was doing fine on Christmas Eve in the ER but on January 1, 2010 she passed away. Her birthday was December 31st and we bought gifts and balloons and my little cousin sang happy birthday to her. We had no idea that we would not get to say goodbye. It was tough. We buried her on January 6, 2010 and that was one of the hardest  days of my life. I am finally doing better and am able to talk more about it so I thought I would come here to express myself. Most of you guys give me great feedback and your genuinely sweet and caring. I need that right now

Now for the good news....

MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR 2-1-2010!!!!!!!

Its scheduled so far in advance because I have to sleep with the CPAP machine for two weeks prior to surgery  I was hoping that I could have it sooner...while my mom was here. She flew in from the Middle East (where she lives for the next 3 yrs) for my grandma's funeral and she's here until the 28th. My doctor decides he wants to go on vacation the last week in January so I'm stuck with Feb 1st. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to finally have a date set but....darn I wanted it sooner. Anyway...any advice or tips you guys can give me to get me started on my journey, I greatly accept.

OH!! And my doctor to my that I have a "fatty liver" so the most weight I can lose before surgery the better. Uuuugh this is gonna be tough!
