Hello, its me, just an update!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am able to post for a bit so I thought that I would give ya all an update!

I went to my follow up with the eye surgeon yesterday! He stated that all is looking VERY WELL! He didn't have the cultures back yet from the surgery last Friday, said he thought that they shouldve been back so they would call on them and check ASAP! He did sign a prescription pad note as well as make documentation for his assistant to send me a professional copy in the mail for medical clearance with an explaination of the happenings for unemployment purposes as well as future prospects! That in itself is a huge relief!
Going in and still having your eye red and looking different and then stating the termination and reason behind it and it only being a week or so has to be uncomfortable for the new prospective employer, as well! Hopefully someone will understand, and believe! I am so ready to join the workforce and JUST be HAPPY to have a job, any job! I know I have had previous employers and know that others sometimes take their employers for granted, not again! Greatful to have an employer at this time would be an answered prayer and a blessing!
I am trying to keep my spirits up and have enjoyed talking with those that I have spoke with a nd enjoyed the cards from Gail and Shanna! It sucks being so down and depressed. I know so many are having troubled times and many are worse off, so I am greatful to have my health, family and friends! I continue to keep ALL of those that are in need for encouragement, support, medical solutions and financially difficulties in my prayers! During the holidays makes it so much tougher!

HOPE- I am continually thinking of both you and Peter! HUGZ coming your way! May God wrap his arms around you /Peter and guide you and comfort you both at this time!

I only have a few more minutes left on the computer! Hope everyone has a blessed day! I am thinking of you all!

Hey Dawn it is great to hear from you!! I always enjoy any updates on folks! I hope that you will be able to join the work force. I have recently joined the work force, answering phone calls about Philips TVs, helping people hook up things to their TVs. There is alot of looking at computer screens.
Have you tried to go through a temp service. That is who I work for but they have a contract with IBM and Philips. Manpower is the one I am working with at this time. I have worked for others, too. You might try one and see what they can get lined up for you!
 Well have a great Sunday! Talk to you later and try to keep up that positive attitude!!! Michelle

Thanks Michelle,

Congrats on the new job!

I hope that things are looking up for you and that you are able to find some answers to your medical issues quickly, I know those symptoms seem very scary as well as bothersome! Heres to hoping you have some relief and answers soon!

I am in better spirits today! I am trying to reroup and refocus and enjoy those things that I have, as well as the accomplishments that I have made!

I have struggled with many issues for so long, and now I have had time to sit and think, cry, dwell, refocus etc and am hoping to finally feel as if I deserve to be rewarded with whatever/whoever I have been given in my life! That is an accomplishment for me, it is still hard to do, but I am working on it! I have felt failure for so long for so many reasons that I must try to look at things from the other end- I will soon be 3 years out and looking back at 334lbs. scares the begeesus out of me, I still play the numbers game and dwell on the fact that goal is still looking out there for me, yet I do love and have great excitement for those that have conquered there's- I also must accept the fact that this is where I am and know that it could be a much larger number and know that I was given the opportunity to have wls and I could be much heavier than where I was 3 years ago! I am able to move, breathe and enjoy my life and feel comfortable in my clothes, still not feel the beauty princess, lol- but that is a far much better place than where I came from! I also know and have admitted to myself and others, that YES I did let things cross my lips that should have never reintroduced themselves after wls, but I am human and now I must move forward and continue with the work in progress that I am!

Thanks for your advice and kind words! You are in my thoughts, today and evryday! Hugz Dawn

sorry so winded today!
