3 THINGS FOR MONDAY!
I am thankful for:
1. Family: My sister said some nasty stuff she didn't mean on Friday night and I talked to my mom in India on Saturday morning and just cried over it as I drove around Elkridge and Columbia for 4 hours because I didn't want to be home. As soon as I got home, my sister hugs me and starts bawling her eyes out saying how sorry she is and she didn't mean it.
*sigh* why don't poeple just not say what they don't mean?
2. Friends: This is a mixed one. One of my good friends was at my house Friday when the **** went down and she took a walk with me and hugged me when I just needed to cry. But, I couldn't think of anybody to call on Saturday morning as I was driving around for the 4 hrs and that made me bawl my eyes out. The 2 women I could have called; 1's in india for vacation and the other 1 was at a church conference
3. My health: I feel healthy and strong but I feel like my body is trying to break down from the inside out. Before the LEEP, my PAP had shown mild to moderate cell changes. Well, the LEEP pathology results now state moderate to severe. Soooo, my cervix hates me! Repeat PAP in 6 months, will try not to worry too much over it.
I feel like a downer!
Awww, you have so much on your plate right now!! I totally get it about family - much as you love them and can't imagine being without them, there are times you'd gladly sell them!!! I'm with you, though - words can cut like a knife. I'm glad your sister apologized, though.
As for the LEEP, etc., right there with you. But thank God they've caught this early so they can keep an eye on it. Had I not gone for regular exams, I would've had NO clue that there was anything wrong.
Hang in there!

Hooray for Halloweem Costumes! My husband and I are going to a costume party on Friday and we're going as an outlet and a plug... haha!
1) For my vacation! I'm happy to have a week off before the holidays truly begin in the retial world. I call this the calm before the storm.
2) I love my RNY... I went to my 9 month follow up appointment and I have lost 70% of my excess body weight (now my BMI indicates that I'm just overweight). My doc says I should be very proud of myself... I'm having a hard time with that one.
3) For my husband. I've been feeling pretty sad lately because I'm realizing that I let most of my 20's go right before my eyes while I sat on the couch afraid of what the world will think of me. Now I feel confident enough to go out and it seems I don't have many friends to enjoy things with. My best friend moved to Chicago and one of my clostest friends here is not very supportive of my choice to have surgery and doesn't want to go out-- ugh. I need new friends! I am very thankful for my husand... at least we have a good time together.
Have a great day!
I've seen the outlet/plug costumes - they are TOO cute!!!!! I LOVE sitting at home on Halloween and handing out candy! I usually end up feeding Happy Smarties or Tootsie Rolls, so she loves Halloween, too!!!
70% of your excess weight is AMAZING!!! You've done such a good job and I can really see the difference! You SHOULD be proud of yourself, but I know it's a hard concept to follow.
You know, as far as friends go, I've been blessed with some from way back. HOWEVER, some of my very best friends have come from right here on this board. These are women and men that I see IRL, talk to, cry to, etc. Although I've been shying away from some of the bigger get-togethers in favor of smaller, more intimate gatherings, I will make sure to give you a call when we get together for shopping, lunch, a movie, etc. You DON'T have to be alone!
Hugs,
Tia
