2 Years after surgery
May 04, 2009
Life sure is different. I cannot believe how I lived before. I saw a picture of me taken right after surgery and I had already lost 20lbs. I was so FAT. I did not even recognize myself.I feel alot better than I had been. Sunshine and riding do the trick! I met with my surgeon. He said my blood work was great and my cholesterol was 'Ideal". WOW. That is reason enought to have had the surgery. As I deal wth my aging parents, I cannot help but hope that this surgery will keep me from developing my family diseases like High Cholesterol and Diabetes. Only time will tell.
I actually had a conversation with Dr Ludwig about how hard it will be to keep enough weight on this summer-WHAT?? That is hard to wrap my mind around but I noticed that as things warmed up my appetite was just gone. I have to make sure I eat enough or the weight does come off again.
My pledge to myself is to do even more healthy choices. Eat more fruits and veggies. Take care of myself.
As for fun things, the barrel racing is back at full steam. I had my biggest win ever in April. I finally feel I am really going to make improvements and get to the level I want.
The biggest news-my son is back in the USA as we speak. I hope he does not have to deploy for a very long while.
