Good news and bad news,                                                                                                                  will start with bad news first! If yall remember I told you about my bad surgery on 12/12 and had to be on Vent with a trac--tube in throat,Well every seens it came out I had been complaining that it felt like I had a knot there and food seemed to feel stuck right at that spot everyone said it was scar tissue,Well the other day hby said my throat didnt look right ,I just thought he was talking about my ugly scar so I didnt think nothing about it,Then this morning I was washing my face and Hby was right it didnt look right I had 3 abcessas I went right to ER at 6.00 am ,they done a CT and said it looked like I had a large puss pocket right behind it,so now I have to see a ENT dr.I'm calling him first thing on Monday and I hope they take share cost medicaid,because this really needs to be looked,I als have a upper rest infection,And because I'm a MRSA carrier they gave me med's for that to.After I came home and took a nap I dedcided to look to see any worse well all 3 abcessas had busted TG  I hand bandage over it they busted when I took nap.

Now for the good news: They weighed me and I have been back on my protein shakes for 2 weeks now and I lost 4 pds,yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa   sticking to my protein for sure.
