Hello from Cindita
Hi gang!
Sorry I've been gone for so long!!! I just have a ton of things going on. I do think of you all often, so I had a few minutes at work today so I figured I would post and say HELLO!!!
Craig is doing great, he is anxious for his first fill which will be in the beginning of December!
We have just returned from a cruise, which was incredible... very relaxing!!! You can see some pics here: http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/scrapblog/1009 165.aspx - I am excited to tell you that I achieved one of my weight loss goals while on the trip... I WENT HORSEBACK RIDING!!! That is something I would have NEVER done before losing all this weight!!!! It was incredible!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, while we were on the ship, me and 4 of my co-workers from my full time job found out that we were returning to no jobs as our company was sold! So, I'm now not sure what I am going to do... have been offered to go full time at one of my per diem jobs, but it doesn't offer me as many hours as what I am used to, so we'll see. I know everything happens for a reason.
The doctors are still up in the air as to whether or not I actually have Crohns disease! I am waiting to hear back from the Crohns specialist at Dartmouth after he reviews another of my tests. The good thing is that I am feeling really good... so either the Crohns meds are working, or whatever was causing my symptoms is GONE!
Lastly, I decided to change surgeons for my post op care, for a number of reasons. I had met my new surgeon while I was in the hospital last summer. He is great and I had my first fill with him yesterday. I am so glad to get a fill after having had to be loose for so long due to my other illness... I am ready to get back on the band wagon!!!!!!!!!
Hope all is well with everyone!!!! Hope to hear from everybody!

Hi Cindy,
So glad to hear you are doing well. Love your pictures. You look so happy, and healthy. Craig looks great too. I had to laugh when I went on your profile, to find we have the same anniversary date....only I have many years on you!!!
and you are right, when a door is shut, somewhere a window opens.

Welcome back to the board -- and the cold weather! Looks like you had a great vacation, though I'm so sorry to hear about your job. But you're right, everything does happen for a reason. That's something my Mom has always said, and she's always right :)
Are you coming to the SNHMC support group meeting tonight in Nashua?

Welcome back girl! Looks like you had a great time! Sorry to hear about the job. Was it something you were all expecting? Yikes. Well hope our place can use you more! I will REALLY like to have you around!
PS. I go for my pre ops tommorrow! I am scared regarding my weight though, as the last 2 wks I have been trying NOT to do the last meal thing every meal. LOL
