HEART & STALL

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MS TONYA !!!!!!!! JUST KNOWING OTHERS ARE PRAYING FOR ME GIVES ME SUCH A BOOST! JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DOC. HE SAID I'M DOING GREAT & THEN JOKED ABOUT ME FEELING SO BAD . LIKE I THOUGHT, THE ISSUE IS GETTING THE RIGHT MEDS & THE RIGHT DOSAGES MY BODY CAN USE CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS CHANGE OUR BODIES GO THROUGH WITH WLSurgery. BUT, AS FAR AS THE ERRATIC & HIGH HEART RATE & BP ... DOC'S VERY PLEASED!!! HE LOWERED ONE MED TO HALF WHAT I WAS TAKING BECAUSE OF ALL THE NASTY SIDE AFFECTS. BUT, HERE'S THE KICKER ... I WAS GETTING TO THINK I WAS A WHIMP CUZ I'VE BEEN SO UNBELIEVABLY TIRED, BUT NOOOOOOOO . HE FOUND THAT I ALSO HAVE FLUID BEHIND BOTH EAR DRUMS & A SINUS INFECTION, SO THE DIZZINESS & FAINTING ISSUES ... & FEELING SO POORLY CAME FROM BOTH THE NEW HEART MED & THE FLUID BEHIND MY EAR DRUMS ... &, THE INFECTION IS JUST DRAGGIN' ME DOWN. I HAD NO IDEA I HAD THE INFECTION. I FELT SO BAD FROM THE HEART MEDS, THAT IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE COULD BE WRONG. SO, I SHOULD BE BACK ON MY FEET IN A WEEK, HE SAYS! I'M SOOOO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. KEEP THOSE PRAYERS & GOOD WISHES COMIN', MS TONYA ... WE'RE ALMOST TO THE END OF THIS CHALLENGE! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Hope you are feeling better. I've been sending good thoughts and prayers your way. Love, B

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MS BARBARA ... WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT ALL GOOD THOUGHTS & PRAYERS! JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DOC'S & HE PUT ME ON Z-PACK ANTIBIOTIC AS HE FOUND I HAVE A SINUS INFECTION ON TOP OF THE SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE HEART MEDS ... SO, I SHOULD BE UP & BACK TO MY OL' SELF IN ABOUT A WEEK, HE THINKS!!!!!!! YYYIIIIIIPPPPPPEEE!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I hope you feel better soon and that they get the meds 'just right' ASAP!! It is NO fun to feel yucky. I know it is hard to keep your intake up when you don't feel good but I am sure that is what the cause of your 'stall' in weight loss is. It was SO hard for me to grasp the concept of ...NOT eating enough...will cause us to not lose weight. I still have issues remembering that. ALthough right now I am more into a phase that I have to remember that I need to control what actually goes into my mouth!! Keep us updated on how you are feeling...you are in my thoughts and prayers.. Julie ps I am not sure who I am supposed to give my email address to for the weekly reminders but here it is and hopefully the right person will read it. [email protected]
