Patience: not one of my virtues...

Apr 09, 2009

So next Monday will mark 5 weeks and I've only lost 17ish pounds.  I know the doctor said that some people actually gain weight before their first fill, so I should just shut up and be happy, but I want more dawgawnit!  (That's right, I said dawgawnit, that's how SDans roll...I often say "howdy" too!).  I scheduled my first fill a week from Monday, which will put me at exactly 6wks post-op (the soonest the surgeon would fill me).  I'm actually wondering if I can talk him into "doubling-up" on the fill.

On a totally separate note, here's a funny story....

As a 3rd year medical students we have a set group of rotations we have to do in various specialties.  Right now I am in Pediatrics.  I had to examine the ears of a 10 month old girl with a cold (cough, runny nose, etc)....which requires basically laying across the baby to pin her down.  Somehow I pinned down all limbs except one arm, and the little pipsqueak managed to stick her mucus-laden finger right up my nose!  It's been a few days, and I have yet to get sick.  I take this to mean that all my exposure to baby-crud over the past year means I have some sort of super-immunity.  Although, having said that, I'll probably wake up horribly sick tomorrow....

Just thought I'd share...
