Oh gosh, over a year since i posted

Dec 30, 2011

I have been on a verrrrrrrrrrrrry looooooooooooooong stall, up a pound, down a 1/2 pound, up 2, down 1, etc. You get the picture. This has been going on since Dec, '10. I am down about 80 pounds and would like to lose another 20 before i research any plastics. My insurance is now an HMO so not sure they will pay for tummy tuck or anything, but I was still planning to check.

I have to have eye surgery. My upper lids are sagging down so hopefully the insurance will pay for that. Probably going to have my arthroscopy done a 2nd time on my knee. Still can't walk. Pools are fun and i may try with a friend to go just across the street to the gym and use their indoor pool (i am not an indoor pool person really, but hopefully my friend will encourage me. We are thinking of doing water aerobics like i did several years ago).

Have to go see the hematologist next month to see where iron levels are. I am always taking my vitamins--meaning I don't skip, sometimes may take a few hours later, but always by the end of the day I get them in.

I just sent Dr. K an email about my vitamin D being in the low 30's forever. He said he will check my record and get back to me about the vit. D injections and the cost.  Also, I told him my PCP wants a direct order from him on what labs to draw. I was getting labs done every 3 months, but he said only 6 months to a year. I think things can change so much in just a couple of months, but hey what do I know, right?

I am eating right. I do enjoy "treats" now and then. I probably could get off the other 20 pounds quicker if I did not "enjoy treats" so much. The holidays are almost done and sugar treats will be gone.

Ok, going to stir fry me up some strip steak and add some veggies--sounds good to me.

Here's to a happy-healthy 2012 for everyone!
