he is looking everywhere, so 2 hrs away really doesn't matter. If he knows someone in the area or close, he will make arrangements until he can find a place. He is not tied down to any specific area. When we get to "that" point in our relationship, I can go anywhere. I work from home, so I'm free!

Topic: Woot Woot!! Tentative date scheduled!!
HW 365 SW 317
Today was my initial consult with my surgeon and I left with a tentative date of October 11th!!! I am SO excited! 
I started this process long before meeting a surgeon as I have been debating this surgery for about 8 years now. And now, after waiting for so long, it seems like it's right around the corner. YES! Well worth the wait, and I am ready to become a loser! Is it crazy to want to go outside and yell to the sky?? LOL I am full of all sorts of energy now and raring to go! Not scared, just anxious and so ready! Just wanted to share! :D

Hi Folks,
It's been awhile (again) and I hope everyone is feeling good and strong.
I want to say I'll be back every day and really be a contributor again, but I just don't feel ready to commit. I want to give it another go, though.
What's new: my Chronic Lyme Disease led to Peripheral Neuropathy. Ain't that a kick in the a$$? I was so terrified of Diabetes leading to Neuropathy that I let someone cut my stomach in two and re-route my intestines. And I got it anyhow...because I took a hike in a park and two docs I saw early on didn't recognize the symptoms of early Lyme. I used to worry that I would grow so obese that I couldn't get around without a cane (I was close, but I was stubborn). So...now I'm using a cane and it sucks.
I had written some time back that I had regained weight - early in my illness, for no good reason at all. Then, because I couldn't exercise as much due to things like pain and passing out. Finally, my diet suffered because I was bored and sad. I'd gained 60 lbs.
Well, one of the organs affected by my Lyme was my thyroid - went hyper and I dropped 40 lbs without trying. Afraid I was a real brat about it - I ate ice cream with impunity, knowing that I had never and would never again be able to do so and still lose weight!
So, at the moment, I am about 20 lbs from my original goal. It's really hard to exercise, but I'm trying my best. I'm trying to feed us right too. This will be a bit easier now because I've won my SSDI case and won't have to feed us from the dollar store half of every month.
Life is challenging, but I wouldn't want to lose it. This too shall pass...I'm going to make sure of that. Glad to be here. I've recently written to my nutritionist and asked for support group info...have also begun seeking support in other areas. I need to get out of my head and do something worthwhile. I've been a volunteer and an activist my whole life till Lyme got hold of me. I swear I'll break free of it.
Exercise in the heat sucks. How's everyone without a gym membership managing it? Any tips/advice to share? Thanks in advance.
Be well.

I know I am ~ 2 hrs or so away but my company often has various job postings. It is a stable company with constant positive growth and a work environment that can not be beat. It values the employee and their family I don't believe we have any in marketing right now. I wish him well in his job search.
