DAY 1 OVER !
Well today is over ...soon going to bed . I just drank my last BOOST. I was late getting started today. I had blood work done & I went at 1130 am . I also had an ECG . Then when it came time for the arterial blood gases , she could not get them ...my arteries are too small. So she is faxing a report to Dr. S and see if he still wants them done or if her report is good enough , I had to go back at 2pm to have the pulmonary tests done . She is going to call me if she has to do the gases .
I called the dietican today & she said that Dr. S says no coffee .
All in all , my day was OK, I had a headache around supper time , but its gone now .
THIRTEEN TO GO ~~~~
One time I was having an CTScan & the nurse that does the injections , couldn't get me , she tried several time then asked another one to try for her , then after about an hour they called a Dr. that uses a tiny scanner to find veins .It took him 3 times to get one . I watched it on the monitor , it was cool. First time he went right through the vein , the 2nd time he was in at too much of an angel & the 3rd time I bled like crazy . He said that's good , we know we hit it. The poor gal that does the job all the time ...said "I do this job for a living , I have never had this happen ". My veins & arteries are tiny ....go figure.
The pulmonary test shows that my capaicity is being crushed from the outside of the walls , there is several things that can do that one being obesity ! She said , it was OK for surgery , they shouldn't have any problem with me . That's good.
I had headaches but they don't last... It's the withdrawls.
By the end of the two weeks, it will feel like a month but it's all for a good cause. You will feel so light and refreshed that you won't mind it. (for me anyways)
Good luck and hooray for us to take our health in our own hands!
