Home at last

I just got back from the best litle vacation ever!   4 days in seattle, being a tourist, so much fun.  I walked so much and am in so much pain... I can't wait to re-trace my steps next year......  

As an update for me. I got my blood drawn about 6 weeks ago for OHSU. I thought this wouldbe my final blood draw, and they would call me right away and scedule surgery. Well, that was 6 weeks ago, and I have yet to hear from anyone. My phone calls ended with udeness and "they'll call you within a few weeks.... whatever... blah blah blah... I;m a bitch..."    

So, I was furiouse, I wanted surgery this summer (hell, I wated surgery last summer) and they were ruining my plans. So I changed surgeons. I decided that the DS is a better option for me. I actually decided this to begin with but was told by my OLD surgeons office that it was some horrible thing that they only did for revision.. blah.. blah...     so, now it is an option for me, and I found a surgeon in federal way that is amasing. I have a hole shit load of tests to do, but I'm looking at around the first week in september to get the surgery.   

I go back to federal way for my tests august 3-6th....   yay...  lets cross our fingers and hope everything turns out ok. 

And the fun part, he put m on a diet. who dosn;t love to diet, right?   10 days, low carb, then 10 days clear liquid,  rinse and repeat.    I should lose 1lb. a day, he says.   need to drop about 50 before surgery. wish me luck.
