WOW! It just dawned on me... almost my 6yr anniversary!

Sep 14, 2010

Well, I obviously haven't kept up with this blog, so my apologies! I used to be very active on OH back in 2004-2006 and then... we'll life happens and I have not been able to have much time for myself, let alone any blogging.
I had my gallbladder removed last year around this time. I went through some complications and ended up being over a week and a half in the hospital....for what usually is a 2-3 day stay. I lost a lot of blood and I refused blood transfusion. YES YOU READ RIGHT, I REFUSED IT. Yes I am a nurse, a surgical and h.s nurse and knowing what I know, i chose to just try my best to gather my own strength. Some might ask, "Why didn't your surgeon take it out when you had WLS". We'll I was a self-pay patient, so he did not remove it.
Anyways, point is, I was off of work for 3 months, ate my hearts content and gained 28 pounds. Currently at 168 and I will be 150 by thanksgiving. Coming back on here has given me a boost and i'm glad we have this site.
