Feeling MUCH better

Dec 18, 2008

Hey my OH family,

OK, your girl was under the weather for about 2 weeks with what I was originally told was a kidney infection.  Well, that changed to me just having major spasms on my left side.  After going to the ER twice, seeing my surgeon twice, and visiting 3 different primary care doctors (I have PPO, so you know a sister can go to several doctors), it has been confirmed that I am having muscle spasms.  The good thing is that they aren't related to the surgery, however, scar tissue could be the reason for the spasms.  I was finally given a prescription that helps with the spasms and given another prescription that helps with the pain.  I don't like taking all of this medicine, but a sister was hurting like hell.  They gave me Flexerill for the spasms and they really do work and Norco for the pain.  Luckily, they don't make me drowsy which is a blessing.  With taking the meds and settling my self down a lot, I am finally nearly back to normal.  I still can only exercise for a few minutes, but THANK GOD, I am still losing weight.  My stats are below.

April 12, 2008                433.0 pounds (when I decided I needed to change)
August 1, 2008              422.0 pounds  (1st appointment to see surgeon Dr. Rosen)
October 28, 2008          391.8 pounds  (day of surgery)
December 19, 2008     357.4 pounds

Total lost to date:           75.6 (from April)
Total since surgery:       34.4

I am so very proud of my accomplishments thus far and I praise GOD for all of his many blessings. 

Love yall!

Happy Holidays
