My 1 Year Surgiversary...
Apr 30, 2009
Woohooooo!!! I can't believe it's been one year already. It's been a wild ride for sure. I am 95 pounds down. Out of 11 medications prior to surgery, I am now down to two. Altho my diabetes is not in full remission, I am only on one medication out of four to control my blood sugar, and that one I may be tapering off of soon. The other medication is for my thyroid and that I will take for the rest of my life. I have had no reall complications after surgery. My blood count did get really low after surgery, but I am not out of the anemic stage. And of couse everyone knows about the broken ankle six weeks after surgery. Typical newbie mistake; dehydration and very low protein. I won't make that mistake again. I would probably be closer to my goal weight, if not for the fact that I spent 13.5 weeks in a wheelchair, but I am happy with my progress so far. I am happier with myself and way more healthy than I have been in years. I even had the confidence to enter an artist friend's Pin-Up contest. I didn't win, but out of 23 girls that entered, I had more votes than 13 of them. THAT in itself made me feel great! lol I am looking foreward to the next year to see what life has in store for me.
