OT - Just need to vent and get it out
OK so it has been almost of you know hubby was in the hospital in the beginning of October with chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. We have had so many appointments and testing trying to figure it all out. The heart does not seem to be the issue, so they sent us to an ear, nose & Throat guy who did an MRI. Well the results came back that he has something called Mild Chiari Malformation 1, and we were refereed to a neurosurgeon today. I thought I would look into this on line before we went in, but that was a mistake the only thing that did was scare the crap out of me.
So I am trying to stay positive and not stress eat, so what did I do? I went and bought whopie pies for the boys. Am I nuts or what? I didn't even dare stop at Dunkin Donuts this am for fear that I would get a cake donut and eat the whole thing. I picked up coffee at Cumbies and just brought my yogurt to work with me. I realize that life happens and I have no control over it, and so far I am doing ok with not stress eating, but I feel myself thinking of what I could get away with and that scares me! I figure if I put it in writing I am accountable to someone other than myself. I know this sounds silly, because in the end I am the one who puts the food in my hand and then in my mouth, but still I picture you all sitting on my shoulder looking at me and saying do you really want to eat that? Is that the best choice for right now? Are you hungry or stressed?
Have you had enough to drink today? OK so enough venting from me, and Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. Off to get some more crystal light and take a little walk around the office.

You may be only one person in the world, but to someone you are the world
Sookie,
I am so sorry....It does not seem to end! I hate it when they do that, give you a diagnosis with absolutely no information at all. Remember, what you find on the internet is not always accurate, and you may be only seeing the worse part of it. Who are you seeing for a neurosurgeon? Remember, different people react differently to treatments, and what may be bad for one is amazing for another.
You are one of the strongest people I know. You hang in there, and I am on your shoulder today, like you were on mine yesterday!!! You are right, you make all the decisions as to what goes in your mouth, and right now, you are making absolutely wonderful decisions!!!
Keep taking those walks every time you want something to eat....AND DITCH THE WHOOPIE PIES!!!!!
