13 days and counting!

Finally back on here! Was out last week with daughter in hosp for tonsilectomy then the night we got her home there was a bad storm that left us without internet till this morning! I had some preop things done this a.m.. Chest xray, ekg- so far so good. Meet with pulomonology tomorrow and if thats ok I get a DEFINITE surgery date! Aug 5 is just tentative based on current surgical load. I'm in kind of a dream world right now.... know I am doing the right thing but procrastinating about starting to change my eating habits now so it isn't such a shock to my system. Hubby bought me a new nightgown to wear in the hospital. Luckily I have been doing a lot of fill-in at work so I'm not left with a lot of time to dwell on this. It has meant a lot to me to have this forum to speak in-people who understand... my husband has been gaining weight too and the other day he said to me that he now realizes the reason I don't want to get up that often is because it's physically hard to lift myself out of the chair, not because I'm lazy. I'm looking forward to that changing! All for now... hope everyone else is doing well in their journey to the other side. Thoughts and prayers are with you all! Michelle

I am so glad your back up and going... I am so excited for you... I have 6 more weeks to go..... Where are you having surgery? Lisa J

Hi Michelle, Glad your back with us, I hope you didn't get in those storms Cedar Rapids had, they were pretty bad and my heart goes out to everyone. I am so glad your feeling better about this surgery, you deserve a good life thats for sure. I wish my Dr. would just get back to me and let me know something, anything. He said there will be alot of testing to be done, I wish I could start them and get alot of them over with. I am also trying to cut back on food right now but it's really hard especially since I know if I really want it bad enough it's there ya know with not much of a consequence if I eat it. But I am trying real hard. Your gunna do great and I can't wait to hear you say your a loser now.
