Happy Anniversary!!!! I have Two Anniversaries!
Hi Everyone!
I am celebrating two anniversaries! I am 6 years post-op from WLS on March 1st and happily still weigh the same as I did when I quit losing weight at 9 months post op. I have lost 120 lbs. No more. No less. I still weight 200 lbs today; but it is a far cry from the 320 I used to weigh and I am happy and healthy.
Second, I celebrated my 3 year sobriety date on February 25th in Alcoholics Anyomous! What a blessing!
Sadly, my job is wearing me out and I am overwhelmed with responsibility. But I am taking control of my life by hiring another person to hand off some of my workload to. Hopefully that will give me more time to spend time with those I care about instead of working all the darn time! I haven't been able to be there for others who need me due to this darn job! I am grateful to have it but not glad to be so stressed out about it.
Hubby is getting ready to have double back surgeries on March 16th and 18th. Recovery is expected to be 6 months. I am taking off 2 weeks to take care of him. The surgeon does not participate with insurance, so I will be looking at a $20,000 bill...I keep telling him he's worth the cost of a used car!!! I just can't worry about it. Can't put a price on your health, right? He is in so much pain...
Enough about me! I hope everyone is well and apologize if I have let anyone down. I will try to post more regularly and be here for others. You know who you are :)!
Hugs,
Karen

KKKKKKAAAAARRRRREEEENNNNN!!! 
Oh how I've missed you! And just look at you, facing the hardships you and your husband are facing and not falling down so that you can't get up... how wonderful is that? Happy, happy duo-anniversaries, darlin'. I will think very strong and positive thoughts for your husband and in the meantime, you take that two week time off from your stressful job and take care of YOU while you are taking care of your husband. I absolutely relate to your statement, "Sadly my job is wearing me out and I am overwhelmed with responsibility." I feel fried frankly (how's that for an iliteration??) Like you, I am contemplating ways to solve this dilemma but also grateful to be employed. Oh, you've made my day, sweetheart! Please don't be a stranger. Love ya, Maureen

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
Happy Anniversary on both Karen- Hope your husbands surgeries go well & recovers quickly.
Here's hoping you get the help you need on the job front. I have been looking for work again
as I am still unemployed year & half later. Put off looking for sometime,but now out everyday looking for something. Even Jacl-in-the-box & McDonald at this point.
All the best to you & Hubby
