Did ya miss me??

Hi all,

First off I need to apologize for not posting all these months.  It has been a very difficult 5 months.
My hubby, my Tony, went into the hospital on Christmas Day with congestive heart failure.  On January 5th he was put back in with same condition only with the added problem that his kidney's had shut down.  Dialysis time had come. 

Since January, he has been in and out of the hospital 5 times.  He is diagnosed with stage 5 renal failure.  He is on dialysis 3x a week plus going to Drs. most weeks.  So every day except on weekends we are on the road to some Drs. office or hosptial or clinic.  He is stable now and has had all of the tests for placement on a Kidney transplant.  However when testing they found a heart blockage and he had to have a stint.  He cannot be on the active list until May 17th.

Needless to say, Tony is my life.  And so I just kinda put my life on the back burner.  I have not been to Dr. H or had labs since December 12th.  I am maintaning weight between 295 and 307.  Just cannot seem to lose anymore.  So I will not reach my goal of losing 25 #s by my birthday.  

At this point, I don't know what to do.  I am so worried about Tony that nothing else seems to be important.  

On a lighter note, pardon the pun, my little sister had her RNY on October 9th and she is LITTLE now.  135 pounds.  Down from 218.  She has not been that size since we were teenagers. Well I was a teen, she was like 12??  LOL Anyway, I am so proud of her.  Terrie, I love you.

On another even better note, Terrie's son in law, Jimmie had RNY just a few weeks ago and he is doing GREAT.  This surgery has saved 2 members of my famiy's lives plus mine. 

I hope all is well with all of you guys.  If you get a moment, keep my Tony in your prayers would you?
