As most of you may or may not know, I do home health visits.  Well, I went to go see a patient that I had seen before Christmas and hadn't seen since then,  and she didn't recognize me at first.  (We have a little communication issue as she doesn't speak English..haha)  Finally, the light bulb went off for her when she recognized me and she got this really worried look on her face!!!!  I got scared until the translator told me that the patient wanted to know if I was sick because I had lost so much weight!  I about fell on the floor laughing!       I told her I wasn't sick and to hang out for a while, cuz I was gonna look even "sicker" in a few months!   We both got a good laugh out of it!

Actually, I was talking to my mom last night and she said something about taking me and DH out to supper anywhere I wanted the weekend before surgery!  I've been laughing alot recently, so I laughed some more when I told her that if we waited until that weekend, I'd have to drink my meal!!!!!!      So, looks like they are probably taking us out this weekend instead!  I'm gonna try not to "blow" it too much though cuz I have to meet with Corrinne on Tuesday morning!   I also have to have Chinese buffet one more time while I can make it worth the $$$  hahaha     Thanks for your support!

that's a wonderful wow moment. i can't believe how much you have lost pre-op. don't worry about your last supper. i gained 4 pounds back the last week trying to cram in all my favorites. it didn't seem to phase them a bit. enjoy your last few days but don't go overboard!

great job!!
