First Big WOW Moment

I went to the playground with my kids on Saturday after bowling and I PLAYED WITH THEM!!! I didn't just make sure they didn't fall, I carried, ran, climbed, and PLAYED! I even had my son "rescue" mommy from the castle's tower (we were at the awesome play area in Banning park... can't believe they're tearing it down!) I was having so much fun that I was a little disappointed to go when I started seeing my daughter having asthma problems, looked at my watch and realized we had been playing for an hour and a half! WOW! And this is after only 9 weeks... imagine how I'll wear them out next summer!!!! hehe... HUGS Rachel PS My asthma is doing a LOT better, got a breathing treatment in and I'm feeling pretty good now, coughing is down to a minimum too, yippie!

We had surgery the same day.. How do you feel. What do you usually eat....

I feel very tired, lost so much weight in my face that I can't wear my c-pap mask anymore... not fun. So I'm nto getting the rest I need. I'm thinking I might need to go to the pulmonologist again to get another mask, but can't yet because of insurance restrictions on such things... my dad has a few extra masks he's gonna give me some to try. As for food... I'm still on a mostly liquid diet... if it weren't for 8 oz of protein shake a day (one scoop per 4 oz of milk for a total of 52 g protein) I wouldn't be anywhere near my protein requirements. But I'm noticing that I still have issues with a lot of things. Right now I'm eating a chef boyardee mini bites pasta shells and meatballs, not the healthiest, but at the same time, not bad 8 g of protein and 210 calories... Doc said I'm the fastest weight loss she'd want to see anyway, so I'm happy with that.... at least for this minute! I'd love food ideas. I am having little to no luck with solids! HUGS Rachel

Congradulations Rachel, I have been reading the problems you have been having and it sure is GREAT to see some Fantastic news. ANd just think: It will only get better from here!! Makes it all worth while HUH? take care and keep playing!! jacjac

thanks Jacjac... I'm looking forward to more improvements and hopefully sleep!!! Like I said before, my c-pap mask is now too big and I don't get the rest I need... looking forward to changing that! HUGS Rachel
