Oh dear, you have been going through so much! I started to answer this morning and got busy at work and couldn't finish. Have you been evaluated neurologically or orthopedically? When you blacked out, did you fall or hit anything that could have injured your head or neck? That could also account for symptoms. Have you tried a chiropractor? They can be very helpful with headaches caused by pinched nerves and kinks in the spine and neck. Just a thought, since you can trace many of your symptoms to that single event. I hope you feel better soon. I'll keep the positive thoughts coming. Irene

Nope I sent it to you last week, you didn't get it???

My consult today went pretty well. The doc thinks my fibroid isn't very large. I have an ultrasound on Monday to determine its exact size and placement. Then on Wednesday (Aug 2), I go in for a hysteroscopic myomectomy. At 4 weeks post-op, I have a follow-up to make sure all is well, and then can start trying for that baby about 2 months later. Depending on how deep the fibroid runs, they might not be able to get it all out at once (because doing so can ruin fertility), so my baby-making plans would have to be on hold an additional month. While I think the whole timeline kind of sucks, the surgery will be very simple and I'm going to be just fine. At any rate, this gives me about 3 months (maybe more if it takes a long time to finally get pregnant once we can try) to lose more weight. At least now I know (FINALLY) what's going to happen to my body, and I think mentally I'm going to be okay now. With that said, here's my plan for today (most of it already eaten): B: sloppy joe (some meat, 1 bread) L: Jack-in-the-Box...chicken fajita, 1 egg roll D: chicken, couscous, carrots S: I don't know Exercise: walked 20 minutes this morning, might lift some weights and do some treadmill work later BTW: The meal I had at Jack's is actually relatively healthy. The pita is high protein, low calorie...and the egg roll was better than fries (about 150 cals) Well, guess I'm going to get my daughter started on the toothpick bridge project I've been promising her all summer!

HI Bunny!!! You look fantabulous!!!! So glad you dropped by to say Hello! Sorry you've had to undergo so much unexpected surgery, but glad you are on the mend and maintaining!! That is just wonderful. Stay in touch!!! Michelle

Hi Bunny!! Wow, it's so nice to hear from you!! Sorry to hear about the hysterectomy - I know it's no fun. I had one in my mid-40's due to years of suffering with endometriosis - can't say I miss it at all!! Hope you're soon feeling better. Congratulations on maintaining your weight loss - I think keeping up with the exercise is key. I've slacked off a bit and I can really feel it - time to get back to it!! Please stay in touch!! Hugs, Nancy
