WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY
Im so glad to see all the people on here yesterday....so good to hear from a lot of you. Sure wish we could hear from a lot of the ones that use to be on here daily about 3 to 4 years ago...
Well between God and my friends on here who want let me have a falling apart day Thanks to all of you. When i get like that God sometimes grabs me and shakes me and hard. lol So all that has been said can be said and will continue to pray for my daughter and i will too. Would be wonderfull if she would get her life straightened out but Lord who knows if that will ever happen.
Went yesterday morning and had my blood drawn for my yearly test to be sent to Dr. H. It has been 4 years since i had surgery. wow that seems like a long time but looking back it certainly doesnt seem like 4 years ...I guess because i stay too busy doing things that i just dreamed about 4 years ago...I have lost 110 pounds and have gone from size 22/24 to 8/10s....if i could afford to have plastics done and remove all the excess skin off my body i really think i could wear a 6 /8 easy but dont think that will ever happen unless i win the lottery lol ...not a lot of chance of that happenng.
Sure wish we could get some rain. everything has just about dried up. I was going to dig the garden again and plant some cool weather crops but unless it starts to cool down and we get some rain it wouldnt do any good. ...dont guess we need them anyway the freezer is still packed ...
Havent doon much of anything other than get the blood work drawn. they had to take 13 vials of the stuff. wow. I told her that there should be enough there to be considered a blood donation lol
She said if she didnt get enough for all the test she would call me to come back in. so hope i dont hear from her .
im off today so will get laundry done up. GS is working 30 hours a week plus going to school so he will have money to take care of his needs....He applied for some grant the other day too. Hopefully he will be getting that soon. probably not a day too soon as his little car is about to die on him i think....
got to go and get to work doing something. love all of you.....

I need to get my blood work done since I have an appointment next Thurs with my surgeon. Haven't seen him since July 2009.
So far I'm doing well with eating and haven't weighed. I'm tempted everyday to write down what I ate but I've refrained from doing that. I've really cut down on snacking. Before I eat I ask myself if I'm really hungry. I've been drinking more water and green tea. Only 1 snack between meals and only if I really feel hungry.

Good morning OH,
Have been reading but not posting regularly, sorry about that but when I get home I am usually so tired I have to go to bed.
I’m doing great, went to my DR this morning and he gave me a letter of release to go back to full time employment, with only the restrictions on COPD, I have to be monitored regularly, and my diet controlled diabetes, with monitoring. Now am waiting to get approval from Vo-Rehab for my schooling and then getting the job.
Am still losing pretty steady, has slowed to about 2 lbs a week and that’s good. Still working on the smoking. Can go one day without buying them and then something comes up and it’s the first thing I do.
Got Baptized Sunday evening, had a really great experience with the friends from my home church, and I can feel the Love and Strength that God is giving me. I am finding out when I look to him for support I get a feeling of overwhelming Love and Peace that I haven’t known in the past.
Jan~I am keeping you and Michelle in my prayers, I know how heartbreaking it can be when your child is in trouble and you can do nothing about it. I also know through experience that God works. My 34 year old Son has been down the wrong path and kept going back to his old ways, I worried and fretted about him so much, seemed like he was my lost sheep, but God has led him to a place where he can learn to be responsible and have time to sort out what it is he is here for.
Hope you got some of the rain I drove in all day Wednesday, I took a box of blood to Skaggs and got so soaked just from the car to the ER door. Roads were all dangerous and really hard to navigate.
Jo~I am also waiting to hit the lottery, I get discouraged because I never even get one number, so I stop buying them. I have had a problem with snacking lately and even though I’m still losing I have to quit eating between meals. I’ve been buying watermelon and keeping it cut up in a large bowl in the fridge, I think that is a free snack, but after the good melons are out of season, will have to do celery or something.
Took the day off, am waiting for St. John’s to come out and pick up my oxygen equipment. Tonight I am picking up one of the GS’s to spend the night and then tomorrow picking up Stormi and we’re going to KC and World’s of Fun on Sunday. Really looking forward to WOF, will be the first time getting out somewhere like that in years. Gonna see what rides I can handle. One day want to do a rollercoaster again. Still to nervous about my size and being able to strap in right. Maybe this Spring.
Need to post this and get busy. Love you all and hope everyone has a good Labor Day Weekend.
