10 days and counting!

Nov 13, 2009

I missed the first boat but I won't miss the second! I was sick this week and my surgery had to be canceled. I was in the holding area and had already been given my happy drugs when the decision was made to put surgery on hold. I will be going back to try again on Nov. 23. I will be THANKFUL when it is over. I am looking forward to a fresh start toward a new lighter, healthier, me.

I am a wife, mother, and first grade teacher! I am 5'1" with my heighest weight 193lbs. That's a lot for a petite frame. I have high blood pressure, high cholestoral, joint pain, fibromyalgia, GERD, incisional hernia, hiatal hernia,  and the list goes on! My mom faced open heart surgery at 38. My Dad had his first heart attach at 37. I pray that this surgery is the answer to prayer and that I will be on the road to a new me. I am now about 175 as I await my new surgery date. I hope more than anything that this surgery will change the road map my parents laid out. I don't want my kids to face what I did with them being sick at such early ages. There is a new plan for my life! It will stop with me! My children deserve the best I have to give them...The best me I can be!
