Topic: Checking in
Just checking in. I'm still struggling, I feel awful. My back and feet are killing me. All because I've gained back so much weight back. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Maybe next week I'll be back to trying to live my life again.
God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. Today is very imporant, because I'm exchaning a day of my life for it.
Topic: RE: 6 year Anniversary
I'm finally seeing an endocrinologist on Friday for my LBS. The ulcer is an ongoing thing. It will be fine for months, then get fussy and become a real problem. Right now it's fussy. I take prescription prilosec twice a day every day for it but times like these I have to stay away from spicy and tomato based products. I see my WLS in about 10 days for a followup.
The heart attack caused damage but currently I'm not a candidate for surgery. I have 3 leaking valves the aortic is 30% and the other two are minor. So for right now I'm just being monitored and medicated.
My most recent excitement was falling over my golden retriever in the dark the other night and wrecking my bad knee again. I had an MRI yesterday and I see the ortho doc for that tomorrow.
Anyway I'm glad for blue skies and sunshine today...It's gorgeous today. .Oklahoma has had it's worst winter on record this year - February had 24 days with no sunshine...that has a tendency to make people a bit grumpy.
Hugs,
Va

Topic: RE: 6 year Anniversary
Happy anniversary, Va - so good to see you this snowy morning in Connecticut. Are you under good doctor's care for your ulcer and LBS? I worry especially about the ulcer and I'm sure you know that can turn very serious very quickly; hopefully that won't happen but if it does you need to be seen by someone well versed in the R-en-Y. How are you managing the ulcer currently? You have always been so much a part of this Board, please stay in touch and let us know how things are going for you - was it a mild heart attack, did you have to have surgery? Where are you at with that now? Thanks for my early morning smile! Love ya, Maureen

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

I can't answer that question any more than I can answer, Why is it that the most unhealthiest foods are the ones that taste so damned good!

Topic: its that time again
where does the time go???
almost 6 years for me at the end of the month.
i love this time of year cause everyone filters back stops in says hello its awesome. we get to see the old friends again.
right now i'm doing pretty good.
going to the gym 4 to 5 nights a week. the treadmill is my friend. HA! i hate excersizing but i'm plugging away. 3 of those nights after i work out i come home and lift weights. nothing drastic but after a couple of weeks now i'm feeling stronger. i just might go and buy the next heavier weights. which isn't much...i'm lifting 5 pounders right now. gee do they make a 5.5 pounder??
its over a week now without the atkins bar. i'm not missing them anymore. surprise surprise i'm living just fine without them. its over 5 weeks i think since the wheat thin crackers. i'm at the point where i think to myself how did they get a hold on me?
the scale budged slightly and hasnt' moved since.
maybe by my 6th anniversary i can say i've lost more than a budge???
