Well , I am on Day 6 and it's almost over. I am doing OK, feel a bit hungry some .  Right now I don't like the chocolate boost very much ! On Wednesday I go to Bathurst for preop.
I never thought that I could go 1 day without food let alone 6 of them.  So now  I have 9 days to go ...it seems like a long time ...
I went to have the arterial blood gases done again today . She really hurt me , not at first but she is in there  fishing around  and struck something  , I had to let her know that it was hurting so she stopped . She said if you are you going for preop in Bathurst , let them do it there.  So now I have that to look forward to. There are other places you can get it , one being the groin area ....NO WAY .....I hope they do it an easy way & not resort to that.

How are you doing with the weight....is it dropping off nicely?  It was so nice to put on clothing and have it hanging off me....now I'm filling them back out again....poor me!!!  Keep it up...you can do it!  I can't believe that they would tell you to let Bathurst do it....maybe someone there can do it better...lets hope so!!!  That is such a painful procedure!!

Hello Angel ,   I go tomorrow to get weighed at TOPS .  It will be a surprise kinda . My scales say I'm down 8 lbs. , but I will go by theirs as I am going by theirs for my initial weight . 
Did you have arterial gases done ?  If so who did yours  ?  I just hope that whomever does it , is  a real cracker jack at it  & doesn't kill me in the process .

Oh crap- - you are still having a hard time getting those blood gases done! Poor you- you must feel like a pin cushion and then some. Keep positive girl - 7 days down - 8 to go - you'll get there. Try some moist warm heat on your poor arms - take care!

Yes Mary , still can't get them . She doesn't know if they are deep or shallow . I heard one of the girls at the lab say that they seem to be deep but they arn't , so I told her that . The Lab always uses a butterfly but she can't use one for this . I  guess I'm not easy...


WEIGHT LOSS REPORT !!!!
I had a weight loss of 11.4 lbs this week , it was a shock (nice one). I wonder if I will lose any next week ??
