14 1/2 mos. (181# lost)

Here I am again Margaret LOL

I'm down to 182# as of this morning :) This has been a ride from hell at times but I wouldn't change any of it. I have been having some health issues I wanted to post. My left leg below the knee has went numb and I have been dx with "foot drop" I have to have a Mylogram, Nerve Conduction Study (NCV) and a Electromyogram (EMG) to try and figure out whats going on. The doc says that ppl that have this surgery have problems with Pernicious Anemia. We do not have the "intrinsic factor" anymore therefore our bodies can not utilize B12. We HAVE to take the shots once a month. But no one told me about it and there's some things that you know but you have to be reminded from time to time or you forget. I knew this but I'd forgotten. So he's done some blood work and is checking B12 levels, Homocystien and methylcolonic acid levels. One of these is an enzyme that comes from the heart and the other come from protein metabolism (eating alot of protein). I'm hoping that a shot or pill will fix me because I'm tired of dragging around this foot/leg. Ppl think I've had a stroke and some think I have a fake leg/foot!!! Geez...it's like trading one evil for another :(

I'm doing OK other than that. My weight loss has slowed to a crawl but ppl say losing it slowly is better than fast because your skin has time to retract...IF it's going to. I still need plastics, I have NO boobs left and I just need someone to "shape" me through my trunk and I'd prolly lose another 25# and that would deff put me where the doc wants me to be. I only want to be at 180 but he wants me at 150 so...I'm purty much through with the weight loss part and now I'm fixing to go into the "maintaining" mode. Need plastics and then my journey is done :) *BIG SIGH* I'm happy with myself, would do it again, my heart has no structural damage from the CHF. My cardiologist is a happy camper about that, LOL :)

I'm in my last semester at South Georgia College getting the final core courses before the "Bridge Program" starts up in May. Then 1 yr. and I'll be an RN! I need my ASN purty bad...my financial future depends on it...So if the LORD's willing and the creek don't rise, LOL

It'll prolly be another couple of months before I come on here and blog again. But ya'll can holler at me when ya' will and I'll holler back when I can. I get up at 3am M-TH, and work as a Dialysis Nurse/Supervisor, then classes, don't get in bed till around 10pm. But I promise to try and get back with ya'll asap :)

Love you guys and couldn't have done this without you! OH and its ppls are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
