Susan thank you so very much for posting for me yesterday....no wasnt digging in the dirt was too chilly ...but was busy and then had to go to work so didnt have time to post. i always appreciate it when any of you post for me when i dont have time. 

today im off work but it is free FALL CLEANUP DAY in Taney County , can take all the trash you have to  the dump for free today. so we are gathering for outselves the things that you collect or we seem to anyway, are cleaning out a shed and taking that stuff up there plus other things that we have. old lawn chairs that have seen better days etc. an old ref. that doesnt run right anymore. altho it is cute. we had it in the trailer and i painted it red to go with the red stove lol hate that it quit running right.
and then we are gathering up for others around that dont have a truck to haul stuff. like the little lady next door that is 88 and lives by herself. and a couple of other neighbors that have things and no way to haul  Joe will hook on our big trailer to the truck if we need it.

Have been gathering flowers for Michele for her new house. but that is about all i have been doing in the way of gardening. pulling up flowers that have seen better days. have lots and lots of flower seeds i always collect way too many of them but then in the spring what i havent given away i just scatter all over the flower beds and it all comes back and is so pretty all scrambled together like that ...or at least to me. i love the beds that people fix that are so exact but i love my cottage gardens too and that is all i can seem to come up with lol . maybe it is being lazy really because the more flowers i have in there the less weeds can grow lol . so a method to my madness acturally.

Jeanie did you pass your DOT test???? i know you are really anxious to be able to get to work again. and if that is what you want that is great. will you take your doggie with you on your trips? would be good companion and protection too. ....

Susan did you find anything as far as a job is concerned. you know that nursing homes are one of the quickest places to get jobs at dont you ? they are always needing people.


well Joe is hollering at me so guess i better go see if he actually wants me to do some work lol
talk to you all later. love and hugs

Hi Kristie ~ I had RNY 7/8/2008 and it's the best thing I ever did.  I have absolutely no regrets.  My life is so much better.  I have lost about 70 lbs. and want to lose at least another 20, and I'm working on that.  After the initial weight loss, I took a sabatical and just enjoyed my new life. 

Shopping for clothes is so much fun.  Wearing belts is something I never did before and dresses and skirts are in my wardrobe now.  

I was quite nervous about the surgery as my day approached but never thought of not doing it.  

Come here often.  This board has the nicest people.  :)

 

Kristie, congrats on getting your surgery scheduled. I don't have any info on you Dr., but had my surgery on May 3 2010, and it's normal for you to be so nervous. I was the same, had my doubts and kept reading and posting here, and every thing went much better than I had even hoped, as of Sunday I have lost 121 pounds, and feel better than I did when I was in my 30's. I am now 59 years old and getting ready to return to over the road trucking, the surgery (which I'm sure was a blessing from God) has given my life back. If there are any questions you may have or you just need to get things off your chest, post here somebody will try to answer your questions. Keep positive and follow your Dr.'s instructions, ONE DAY AT A TIME. I hope someone who has knowledge of your Dr. will post and let you know about him. Also, he should have a support group, members should be able to help you out. My advice is get all the support you can, it helps to have post-ops to help you through the nerves.
