Been a month since i last posted, but things are looking UP

Hey all. I haven't posted since 11/25. My broken shoulder got worse, then gradually better. I've been struggling with a massive cold, lots of mucus, lots of foamies, now i just have a runny nose (knock on wood). I finally drove for the first time since i broke my shoulder in early November yesterday. The worst part was adjusting the seat and mirrors, and boy oh boy, did i have to adjust them. I know that i'm down at least 72 pounds since my 10/25 surgery, possibly more like 90. And i'm starting to feel really good. and human, and if not "thin", certainly not as fat. I see my orthopod for the last time this coming wednesday, then i'll go back to work on the 3rd. I'm excited! Now if i can only find something to wear that fits! have a great holiday! jan

Hi Jan! When it rains, it certainly pours ... gee, you've been through a lot! I am SO impressed with your baking credentials, and am quite interested to know if you'll pursue any "sugar free" goodies (actually, maybe I don't want to know ) I hope you're doing well, and that you had a great holiday ... I, myself, am on the northwest side of the city, and if you'd ever love to grab a cup of coff .... er, water ... let me know! Happy Holidays, Karyn

Hey Jan! Great job!! With everything you've had to deal with (heck without it) you're doing awesome! I can't wait to see you all skinny minnie! If there is another Chicago get together, please keep me in the loop! I was bummed to miss the last one. Keep up the great work! ...stepping away from the emoticons... San (you're next door neighbor from the hospital) one of these days we WILL take that walk!
