3 DAYS TIL MY SURGERY!
Mar 27, 2009
Well, I believe I have finally discovered my way around my own website! I never could figure out on how to add to my profile... so here goes...Gosh, think the last time was, what, July... so much has happened since then. I had to redue my 6 mo diet around that time as I had changed dr. and skipped a mo of getting weighed so that was about the last time I blogged on here. I went down in drepression so much and it was only thanks to a good psychitrist that I had that pulled me through it.. and here I am today..
Let me try though to go back and see what I might pull out of the archives that might be of interest to you...
Well Aug is a nightmare of dispare, Sept ? and Nov Richard came home for 12 days and Thanksgiving. He had been diagnoised with hi prostrate levels and would have a bioposy while home.
It was so wonderful having him home but it went so quickly. We had a large gathering at our new home. Richard and I had decorated the house for Christmas as he was leaving the day after Thanksgiving. Anyway, his visit was ok, but I could tell he absolutely did not want to let, nor me have him...He had the bioposy done and it was malignant... It was decided he would go home and simply pack up and come home for an operation... what a nightmare that was and it hurts to just go back to talk about it... but we got through it... he had the surgery, the cancer was only in the prostrate and they got it all... God was definately in control!
After the surgery he has been great. Oh he was sore for about a week but after affects of the removal of the prostrate have been minimal and he has recovered so well.
now it is my turn... In 3 days I will have my surgery. I had a date if March 23 but there was a problem. The surgeon saw me, saw that I had gained 40 lbs since I last saw her in July. She also smelled cigarettes on me... She, point blank, told me to quit smoking and loose enough weight to convince her that I was serious about this surgery and that she would see me on the 23rd.. There went that date.. I wasn't as devistated as I would of thought I would be. In a way, I was pissed and with my Irish temper that was a good place for me to be... I'll show her... I quit smoking and went on a liquid diet.. By the time I saw her the 23rd I had lost 16 lbs and was well over the smoking (or at least the worst part)
She was pleased with me, and set me up to have the surgery on the 31st of March.. That leads me up to 3 days from now...
Some other great new has happened.. I went to the Wimberly Art League's monthly meeting and took my "Bluebonnets in the Backyard" as an entry in the
'artist of the month'... shock! mine was choosen. i will be getting a writeup in the Wimberly gazette as well as the San Marcos paper... Also I have volunteered to have a artist booth at the May Art Walk in Wimberly.. I have been painting like mad to get ready for "my first showing" ... Also, I met a gentleman who owns a gallary in Wimberly and he said I could have a whole wall in his store to feature my paintings... Wow... I was over the top with happiness... Since then I have painted "Springtime in Texas" and am finishing up "Blarney Castle - Ireland"... I can see my progress with each oil I do and am so pleased to have gone back to oils instead of watercolors... Oils is my first love, and I am so looking forward to becoming a local artist in this area! Wow... has my life changed or what... and now I am getting a new body as well... I owe everything to God. It is so evident that he is in my life...
Well, next time I get back to this I will be on the loosers end of the bench! Can't wait...
