Feeling so blessed! 2 months out and....

Oct 24, 2009

I just went in for a 2 months chk up with Dr. I & according to their scales, I'm down 57#!!  Taking my vitamins like a champ, still kinda blasay about getting in enough protein/ fluids, but I'm working hard at it (currently am at about 90g protein, and 60oz water daily)

I've also gone from wearing a size 26/28 bottoms 24 tops, to 18/ some 20's on the bottom & 14/16 XL on the tops (I just bought scrubs for my clinicals yesterday on my way home & were THRILLED when I slipped in to the xl's for the tops!!) 

I've also just finished my first week back to school to get my nursing assistant certification!  I go Monday to Friday 4-9pm for 5 weeks (3 weeks in class, 2 in clinicals- I was blessed with the opportunity to go to the hospital for my clinicals rather than the long~term care facility!)  I also found out that once I finish that & my general A&P class I can petition the school I'm hoping to go to for acceptance in to the RN program (they've abolished the wait list there.) 

There's NO WAY I would have EVER been able to accomplish this/ have the confidence in myself to do this without having had the DS, I mean that with all of my heart.. I am so much more happy, joyful, energetic & ALIVE.. I just feel so blessed with life & the fact that I was given this opportunity...  I SERIOUSLY LOVE MY DS!

& if there's anyone out there getting flack from your insurance; FIGHT IT!  GET WHAT YOU WANT because it's you who has to live with what procedure you choose, not the health insurance provider.  You can fight it, you can win; it CAN BE DONE! Don't ever settle for less than what you deserve when it comes to your health; fighting for a few months or a year is a drop in the bucket when you look at everything you'll gain back in your life by choosing the procedure that is best for YOU..  Plus, if you fight hard enough for something, you'll cherish it & keep it all the closer to your heart..
