Well it has been four months now sorry i haven't written sooner, but you know how it is with the new me. I have been so happy i wore for the first time in years some designer jeans. I went on a hike with my son and his school and was not out of breathe or tired. It has been just a wonderful experience. Don't get me wrong i have had some bad days but it has not been anything compared to the bad days i had before the surgery. I have lost 64 lbs. I am able to sit in a regular chair and my son friends are even talking about how little i am. You know my son is 6 and he was already getting pick on at school about his mother and i never new it, but he is so happy and proud of me now. I have let him join baseball and the boyscouts. I found out i was holding him back cause i did not want to go but know the world is my oyster and i am taking it all in. Well hopefully it won,t be so long before i write again.

Well it has been a little over a week and i have came thru Thanksgiving with flying colors. I finally told some co-workers that i braved up and had the surgery and many of them stated that they have had the same thought in the back of there. They stated that they would watch me and continue to see how i do and will probably think about having it. I told them if they are going to have it do it for yourself and know one else but also think of the after effect concerning strict diet, exercise and vitamins and inj for life and if these things are ok then go for it. I always say research anything you can before making a drastic decision.

WELL I DID IT!!!!It is over with and was not as bad as I thought. I will return to work tomorrow. The only problem i had is the gas pains and it was relieved with walking. I feel as though this is my new day and i will act that way. I was in surgery at 800am thursday and back in my room by 1100. They gave very good pain medicine. At 100am Friday had gas pain so bacd asked for a light pain med and walked the halls felt so much better. Fri went for the barium(nasty) everything was fine. taking 60cc of liquids every 2 hours. Dr. came in on Sat increased to full liquids and sent home. Sipping on water and went on a short walk and very little pain. Will see md next week and increase exercise if all is well. Have to remember them liquids no appetite. Talk to all later.

Hi Kimberlyn "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending "There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow." ~ O. S. Marden "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil." ~ James Allen "I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you." ~ Author Unknown "Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life. "Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, 'Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary." ~ Anthony Robbins " ~ Harvey Mackay "Life is a challenge, but if you don't stand and risk you will never know if you were able to win or lose. Challenges are not a thing of winning or losing; they are a way of learning from them to become a better person every day! ~ Alexsander Rodriguez, P.R "Don't ask for it to be easy, ask for it to be worth it." Dan Kuschell "The most important question to ask is not 'What am I getting?' The most important question to ask on the job is 'What am I becoming?'"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." - Richard Bach "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins; not through strength, but through persistence." ~ Jackson Brown "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson A wish changes NOTHING; A decision, changes EVERYTHING "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will,they soon become inevitable." Christopher Reeves "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:2-3 Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much." ~ Jim Rohn May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
