melting momma, egg face and OH...thank you, thank you

what a stroke of good luck to have the OH regional mtg just miles from home...a last minute registrant, I was overwhelmed by both the fellow OH'ers and speakers. Truly a phenomenal event! A former fashonista in smaller days, I can't wait to take Megan Riley Kristel up on her service - loved her talk as well as Coach Meinke's Thriver model...my eye is on thriver!

two test results and counting...

Sep 18, 2008

somehow two of my test results didn't make it from Bryn Mawr to Einstein...now to track them down and I will have a bullseye and finally get a surgery date...yeah! Tracking paperwork is not my forte but I can't have this roadbump be a stop sign...moving forward!!

ready to go and waiting for date...

met once again with the nutritionist at Einstein - she is the best...she mitigated some of my misconceptions about when you can drink water, etc...ready and waiting for my date!!

paperwork and remembering a motivator

Sep 22, 2007

sidetracked the past few weeks - a trip to TN on my "things to do before surgery" and a sad return to learn that the person whose "need of kidney" led me to explore WLS...I was to be a donor. Pierre was a wonderful. supportive friend - it was hard to hear someone in my circle tell me that I am "taking the easy way out" with WLS ---darlin' walk in my moccassins and I will try yours or as the saying goes...write your problems on a piece of paper and put them in the problem bag; when it's your turn to pick, pray you get yours back!!!  I need a major lift to getback on track with pre op paperwork and organization to have my family (18,20 and 88) stable to Mamma can have time to heal post op...no date until paperwork in, it's a GOAL!!!! I want to have surgery before year end!

paperwork going to doc this week for 1st appt schedule

finally dr. dallal is approved as a Center of Excellence which medicare requires for WLS --- as a recovering trauma patient on SSD I rely on medicare for health insurance...I mention this because so many people are ashamed or afraid to reach out for resources when needed...prior to my trauma, I was a healthy, active working Mom who had a "power career" - no shame here, I am open to speaking with anyone who has considered disability as an option to recovery...I hope to return to work and WLS is one more step on the road to recovery!
