The world spins madly on

Aug 18, 2014

It's been a long time since I updated this. I apologize.. I have been a slacker when it comes to visiting OH. My journey has been full of ups and downs. The new surgeon, who is fantastic by the way, has gotten me back on track, and I am doing well. I still have neuropathy in my legs, which tends to create weakness and lack of muscle tone. I am working on it, but it will take a while. I have lost just over 155lbs total. I am able to eat and drink fairly normally, albeit incredibly small portions.

I have some potassium issues that are likely surgery related. We are still working to find out what's going on there, but that is the worst of my issues at the moment. I am active, I have energy, and I can get up and move around. I haven't been home more than a few hours at a time for the last 3 weeks, and it feels great to have a life outside of this little monitor. That's essentially how I lived before - vicariously through the internet world.

I have a long ways to go still, but I am seeing huge changes. And while my journey has been crap, I can now say with confidence that I am glad I had surgery, and I am glad that I am giving myself the opportunity to live my life.
