Exhausted, but it's been a GREAT week!

OMG, this job is killing me. I am getting used to the hours, and the additional physical demands. I absolutely love my job, for the first time in a long time. I had my first corporate visit on Tuesday, and it went GREAT! So, work is finally something I can look forward to again.

I had an awesome NSV on Tuesday as well. My doctors MA called to go over my bloodwork from last week. I had my annual physical. My vit D is still too low. I know, it's my fault for being careless about taking my calcium. I knew it would be low. But, I think this is my proudest moment since starting this journey. My cholesterol is down to 118!!! I was over 300 last year at my physical. In a few weeks, I'll celebrate my first surgiversary. I'm just blown away at what I was able to accomplish in this short amount of time.

Last year, I had to borrow a work shirt from my roommate once (we both work at the same company). She was already a manager, so her shirts were different (non management wears polos, management wears dress). Her size 2X (mens) was VERY tight across  my chest. The other day, I fit into one that was ordered for me. It is a size S (mens S, I wear a womens L). I think I was light headed for a moment at that one.

Thanks to all of my clique. You inspire me, sustain me, encourage me, reprimand me, best of all love me for who and what I am. Everyoone here, in their own way, has so much to offer. I hope nobody ever loses sight of that.

  So Happy to see you on the board:  Congrats my friend.  I know how you wanted that promotion and I am so Happy it has worked out so well for you ( especially since you have some
Friday and Saturday nights off now  LOL) 

We need to keep on each other about that vitamin D  that was the one things that was low
for me as well.  Hey I saw at the bowling alley last night that week nights from 9:00 till 11:00
bowling is $10.00 including shoe rental :  maybe we can try this one night LOL

And you inspire all of us as well so keep coming to the boards when you can

 

 

 

Congratulations Kathy on all of your great news! I am so glad the job is continuing to work out well for you. But most of all, congrats on all of your success phsically. A lot of hard work went into making that happen. You have every right to be quite proud!

Hey Kathy!  Glad to hear your new job is killing you, but in a really good way!  There is nothing better than being happy in your job and getting up and looking forward to GOING to work!  Speaking of work, I was at BRU on Monday and kept my eye out for ya to say hello, but didn't see ya :(  Happy early surgiversary, you've come a long way!  No go take a calcium!!!!!

Kathy,

I am so happy to hear that you are doing great and loving your job!  Congrats on your NSV I am so proud of you!
By the way I was low on vitamin D when I was 3 months post op. DVR told me to buy a vitamin D supplement and I take 1 daily since then along with my calcium and it has been in the normal range since. Please do that soon and take it relisgiously because you do not want to have osteoarthritis inthe future.

You take care and congrats on a job well done.  What an inspiration you are!

Love ya girl!

Kathy, You said clique....I hate that word and what it means...it sounds like only few are welcome and more are excluded. Yuck.
But I am your friend and I'm glad to have you, too!  Congratulations on your wows!  You have done great!
