Spinal Tap Update

Dec 06, 2006

12-5-06 I had my spinal tap done, the doctor said a normal pressure reading is 20 mine was 25, so she drained the fluid down to 17, and put me on acetazolamide 250 twice a day, this should help keep the fluids from building up. She said she may have to increase my medication we will just have to wait and see how things go. today 16-6-06 I feel sooooooo much better I did have a very slight headache today but nothing compaired to what I have been going through. So we will take this one day aat a time..... huggsssss cyndi m

Welllll this year is almost gone,,, Its soo hard to believe how fast time has went by this year.. I would have to say the highlight of my year was the OH Convention in Lexington, its something I will never forget. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to attend more conventions. I have also been playing around with the Idea of starting a support group meeting in my area. Big step for me, but something I really think I would enjoy doing.  The weight lossss is going good, I actually put on a size 12 jeans this week, can we say major wowwwwww for me. I love the idea, but hate all the extra skin, this is really becoming a big issue for me, another goal for me this upcoming year. I go tuesday 12-5-06 and have the spinal tap done, which im really not looking forward to, but I pray that this will ease the headaches.  I ammmmmmm so very excited about going home on the 23rd, I misss my family so very much and hate the distance between us. Sending out hugggss and prayers for alll. huggsss cyndi m

Story written by my daughter

Nov 12, 2006

My 14 year old daughter had to write a story about someone for a school project, I just had to share with all, Talk about making me cry... I am soooo very blessed with my wonderful children...

A Gift From God
I know this person every since I was born. One of the weirdest things about y mom is when she gets mad she love me at the same time. When u look at her for the first time u would notice that she has a great personality. You probably would not know that she had her tongue periced. I remember how hard my mom tries to tell me how important it is to go to collage to get a good education. When I grow up I want to be just like my mom cause she is a good role modle. My mom tells me that I am smart even if I think different. i admire my mom because she is good at everything. if I had not have met my mom I woulnt know how to go on. My mom is my best friend, I fill like I can tell her everything. Now moms best qualities are her hair, clothes and her looks. my moms hair shines like a diamond ring, her clotheas are dressy and her looks are so beautiful she looks like a super  modle. Now that I am getting older I feel that we do have a lot in common. When I almost lost my mom, My mom had to have surgery and it was a life or death situation. The doctor came out after surgery and the doctor told the family that her kidney and bladder was shutting down. Then the doctor checked back on her and he came out of the room with his head down and told us that there is nothing to do for her. i liked to died. they took her to intensive care and the doctor said that I could go in there but your mom is hooked up to all kinds of machines.. She was on a breathing machine and it was breathing 100% for her. Then like three days the doctor said that she is doing a lot better and her kidnesy are doing fine. i think that was g gift from God that she is still alive to day. When my mom started to talk she said that she thought that she was going to die, she said the only thing that she remembered is that all the doctors were standing around talking about her. Then she said that she thought that she was looking over her body from above. A week passed by and mom got moved to a private room and she said that she was happy to see my family and me. From that experience it made me thank God that I get to spend the time I do with my mom This is why I think my mom is a gift from God.... By Christina

My New Changes

Nov 10, 2006

 It has been a few  weeks now since I changed my vitamins, and started doing more protein,  Thanks to the convention in Lexington, I figured out I was going about this all wrong. Instead of just taking a multi vitamin like I was told to do I ordered the bariatric advantage vitamins. 

On the protein I am taking in the morning 1 new whey liquid protein bullets 25 grams of protein per bullet. Now Im not crazy about the taste, but for about two swallows of this and 25 grams of protein, I can do it… Next I am  using the AchievOne drinks another thing I tried at the convention… These ready-to-drink lattes are a unique blend of premium coffee with 20 grams of protein, just 5 carbs, no fat, Splenda sweetened, PLUS each bottle contains 25-45% of essential vitamins and minerals! Four sensational flavors... Cappuccino, Hazelnut, Mocha Java, and Vanilla Nut.  I love these, so I do one of these bottles in the afternoon, now ive already had 45 grams of protein with just two drinks,  and I also had to order some of the power crunch bars, Ohhh my they are tooo good. I never knew protein could taste so good, since I had such a hard time during the first of my journey keeping any protein down, I just gave up on it all. BUTTTT during the convention in Lexington, they showed me many new things. Other than the headaches I feel sooo much better, I can feel the difference in the way my body feels. And Im also down 8 lbs. So u seee u can still lose weight after being two years out, I have started a new path in my journey, Its time to take care of me, I’ve always tried to take care of others first and put me on the back burner, I do realize im just as important as they are and I need to make sure im taken care of also… I am soooo very thankful I went to the OH Convention in Lexington, it opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I also got to meet some wonderful people. I am soooo looking forward to my next convention….. Im hooked…lol

My dream lastnight

Nov 07, 2006

I had the worst dream last night, me and my parents and family was out for the day having a wonderful picnic, me and my dad decided to venture off with the 4wheeler, we found these rocks that wasn’t to high but we couldn’t get across unless we climbed over them, as my dad started up his pants leg got caught on rebar and he slipped, I watched him fall and the rebar poles go through his body, and I screamed dad, he looked up at me and said yeah dad, and then died, I done everything in my power to pry him up but couldn’t……… I woke up crying and feeling like I had lost my best friend.  I usually don’t dream much but when I do, I have to dream something like this…  

The scales are on the move again

Nov 06, 2006

Ohhh what a wonderful feeling it is, I thought that me being a little over two years out, I wouldnt ever reach my goal weight, but since the Lexington Convention the weight has started comming off again Im down five pounds... I finally found out what I was doing wrong, for one I wasnt getting enough protien in, which I have now increased and it dont make me sick.... and I wasnt eating enough.  The convention opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I can seee the changes already. will update more sooon.

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.

Nov 04, 2006


Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.

He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.

This was passed on to me from another pumpkin.

Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin.

I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.

Happy Fall
