a reality check slapped right in my face

Jan 12, 2010

Well I went to the doctor today to get my referal for the surgeon and I was floored! I walked into the office for 1 referal and came out with 2. The first moment of being horrified came when I stepped on the scale. Up 18lbs since last visit!!!!  I couldn't believe it... I wasn't this heavy when I was pregnant with either of my daughters! I wanted to cry right there.  Next was temp and BP.(I actually could have told you that my BP had been up by the way I was feeling.) Yep I was right, so back on the meds I went.  Then upon exam I was told that I have a heart murmur. I have never been told that so Friday I have an echocardiogram and ekg to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the workings of my heart and it may just be BP related.... I'm hoping that I can get things under control so that I can hopefully be approved for surgery and get my life back.
