Such a bumpy ride!!

Hello my sweet friends! It's been a rough ride since surgery on 6/23/05. My mom took me to the ER on 6/28/05 due to an impacted bowel. That was HORRIBLE. Then my mom realized I wasn't getting enough protein, and we upped the protein, and I sprang to life!! Things were groovin' right along, I was getting into the routine of eating and drinking...and whammo! I was rear-ended at a red light on 7/21. I was sitting there, minding my own business, and a big car was going too fast and hit a little car that slammed into me. Yes, I was shaken up, I just hope my back feels better (because I am hurting) but I can't dwell on what happened. Since 7/21, I've been feeling very sorry for myself, feeling "What else can happen now?!" Well, I wasn't killed. I wasn't maimed. The ambulance left with no one in it. Life is what I make of it, and I'm moving on with BEING A LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO THANKFUL FOR OBESITYHELP.COM!! I LOVE YOU GUYS! -Julie

Keep up the great attitude. It will go a long way to get you where you want to be. I saw a sign the other day that read "If you were born in the U.S.A., you've already won the lottery." We are so blessed, and you have been given the greatest gift in this surgery. Good Luck.

Tresa, You are sooooo sweeeeet! I love that sign, it's true!! *HUGS* Julie L.

Dear Julie, I can so relate to you. I was 15 days out from surgery and a woman pulled out in front of my car and we t-boned her. Totaled my car and I was injured. Out of work for 6 weeks because of the accident. But, I too, had much to be thankful for. I was on coumadin because of the blood thinners. Fortunately, it was not worse than it was. They did have to take me off of it. Also, I had handed the keys to my daughter and asked her if she would drive because I was a little tired....so I was not behind the steering wheel when we hit. Thank God! Finally, I am now down 113 lbs! So I too, have much to be thankful for. Good luck and God bless. Linda
