5 Year Update

Nov 28, 2012

Wow!  Has it really been 5 years since my DS?  Hard to believe it, but it's true!  I'm holding steady on my weight, though I have gained about 10 lbs after I quit smoking this last May.  I'm currently at 181 lbs.  I just had a check up with Dr. K. and although I am anemic, everything else was a-okay!  Dr. K. recommends heme iron instead of the more common ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate.  So, it looks like that will be my first mail order supplement.  All the rest of my supplements come from local stores. 

I have no more issues that I had prior to surgery.  My blood pressure is usually normal - around 120/80, but today it was 113/73.  My blood sugar is perfect.  I have no more sleep apnea.  I have no more pain from Osteo Arthritis.  I can walk and walk and not get winded or tired.   

Things are changing in my life, too.  I am currently in school to become a Medical Assistant.  I will graduate in July, 2013.  My goal is to go on to nursing school and become an RN.  This is just the first step to get my foot in the door and start working in the medical field - a dream of mine for 20 years. 

I'm still with my DH and we are stronger than ever.  He still loves me regardless of my weight, and I feel very fortunate that he does.  I so love that man!

I'm very grateful for Dr. K. and for my DS!  Without it, I would not be living life the way I am today.   I love my DS!!!
