Finally...

Hi Lois - Congrats on your 3 pounds! I am glad to see that you can journalize parts of your story up on the board for us. I would think that everything that you are going through would be extremly "stressfull" which means those three pounds are really important ones. Maybe it means that you are starting to get a handle on things and your body is catching up with the exertion that your putting out. It also sounds like you have a sweet tooth! I have had several different times the endometrial biopsy's. They sure don't tickle when they are doing them and then its like the worst cramps for the rest of that day. Kindda like getting kicked in the gut. But - things all work out. Keep your protien and iron intakes up. Let us know what the Doc says. If you want to talk about this stuff anytime, just shoot me an email......... [email protected] The dogs will love the hike and good for all. Have a great day and a good ride. My continued prayers are still going out for you.

Thanks, Tracy, I am trying to force myself out of the house right now. I have already gone through some stacks of old mail, and I feel drawn to do more in the house. However--I need to get outside with the dogs, actually just Cody's dog, Winston the GWP. The other two have joint problems. I had wanted to work for the rest of the day following the biopsy, hmmmm. The NP said there is usually cramping. Since I have already had cryosurgery I figured I could handle it, but that was only uncomfortable while the freezing was underway. Guess I am in denial about it. I'll play it by ear and hope I can make it through that day. Cody's boss is deperate to get a group of 6 townhomes finished. Glad you wrote back about the biopsy. I don't know anyone who has had one up until now. Lois

Congrats Lois! I just want you to know that I truly admire your strength! You are an awesome lady! 253/210/134 Christine

Thank you, Christine. Love your new pic. Am contemplating having another picture taken of me--but I had such a time getting the last one posted. My face is much narrower now (and my hair THINNER ). Lois

Hi Lois, It sounds like you're on the up and up! I am so happy you've been keeping busy and have seen the scale move in the right direction! Kirsten

Hi Lois... I think about you often wondering how you are doing. I can't wait to see your new picture...whenever you get one up. You have lost so much weight since you started. I still remember you being on your preop diet to get a jump start and reading about all your progress. Are you still talking to the other teacher from school? I remember when you wrote about him slipping you his number. Has the hair loss stopped now? If so I am taking up where you left off !! I will be bald by the winter !! Hugs, Hang in there Lois. I can't wait to meet you in person one day. Dana

Hi Dana, For several different reasons I am not seeing the other teacher--my choice. The hair loss continues WHILE new hair is coming in around my hairline. My hair is thin. Thanks for the encouragement, Lois
