5 days out
Dec 12, 2008
An exciting morning! My blood glucose was only 69!! It really is starting to respond-finally!
I am having no problems whatsoever getting all my water/protein in. I am only in mild discomfort and take my liquid Tylenol only 1 or 2 times a day. I am not hungry-amazing! I am looking forward to getting back to CURVES, as it has been too cold to walk outside for long. Love the sf popsicles! I will be picking up my "fur-kids" from their kennels on Monday-I miss their furry little faces. I have a beagle, Herbie, that I saved from an untimely death as he was bred to hunt and just wanted to play and his owner saw no use for him. He is such a love and I could care less if he hunts! I have Tucker, a 20 lb. diabetic tabby who is the sweetest, most non-aggressive animal you would ever meet. I test his sugar 2x a day and he is on insulin. Earl Grey is my bad cat-just a wiry gray bundle of nastiness-not to me (he is overly affectionate with me) but very unpredictable towards others. Can't wait to see them again!

Home from the Hospital
Dec 11, 2008
Well,, I can only hope that the worst is over.Rather naively I expected to have little pain after surgery, and boy was I wrong! I felt horrible-like I had been stabbed and run over. It is much better today. The dr. said I did beautifully-a "classic" bypass surgery. I'll take his word for it!
GREAT thing is-absolutely no hunger--head or otherwise. Another great thing-no fever or infection and I am perfectly able to move around and care for myself.
TERRIBLE thing--I did this so that my diabetes would be "cured" and it hasn't changed. I went in with pills and came out with insulin injections. What a bummer! I am told that it will resolve itself in a few days-something to keep praying about.
I am happy that I am alive and ready to begin my new life as a loser!

10 hours and counting!

This will be my last post until I am back from the hospital hopefully Thursday. I can't sleep-not tired at all. Still not scared-God is Good-just in a hurry to get this surgery over with and onto my new loser life! I am packed and ready-need to be at the hospital at 9:30 am. I am enjoying my last can of diet coke as we speak-no liquids after midnight so I have 16 more minutes! Thanks again for your prayers-see you on the other side!
Surgery tomorrow!
Dec 07, 2008
This is it-surgery tomorrow! I am trying to keep busy so I can keep my mind off of it as long as possible. To do today: pack, take pets to kennels, clean house, call friends and relatives, PRAY. Hard to believe that tomorrow I will finally be on the loser's bench!
3 DAYS AWAY!
Dec 06, 2008
Only 3 DAYS until surgery! Like so many others have commented, time goes by so fast during the last few weeks. I am feeling well, no real fear yet. I think I have been too busy to dwell on it for long-trying to get my house in order before the big day. I am trusting God, knowing that this life style change is necessary, and knowing that He'll be there with me in that operating room.
I am so thankful for the friends who have stepped up and volunteered to help me in the next few weeks of recuperating-since my family lives in WV and cannot be with me .
