Update on Me and Thanks You from me...

well i found out ramon posted a post about me - my computer hadnt been working since sunday so i have not been online since i got back from galveston....

yes the conference was very hard and tiring for me... i was/am in a lot of pain even now....i have kristi my daughter in law driving me around running errands.... i get very frustrated driving and forget where i am going....

i have to thank Ramon for being there for me even though i have put him through alot these last two months...he has asked me not to go into detail since this is personal and between him and i.... but i was shown true colors from Joe and its not where or how i want to live my life.... i can not be caged or controlled i was that way for too long....i am not ready to give up helping in the surgery world...and yes i have been and will be used as the example for the vitamins -

as for my health i go back to the doctor on tues to find out the test results from a brain scan and hear scan.... i forget where i am or driving too.... i know how to get to starbucks and back home so that is what i have been doing in the mornings.... i have gone to the store and forgotten what i am there for or i have spent too much money on things i didnt need.....and not remember....

please all those that are starting this journey or are post ops please please please take your vitamins.... this is not something that needs to be messed around with.... i have finally convinced my neuro doctor to research vitamin defiencienies and weight loss surgery..... he said he would.... i know in my heart that this has to do with vitamins....  its not my heart....its hard to stress to the doctors that the vitamins have alot to do with this....i have printed out material dana has sent on what can happen when your b vitamins are low......

giving my speech on sunday was very difficult for me since i do not like giving speechs and find it difficult to stand in front of a crowd plus i do not remember what i said so i will have to watch the video but if i helped one person to make the right decision regarding their vitamins it was worth it......

I have to thank Ramon and Yvonne for believing and trusting me and letting me be a part of RYD - we discussed this years ago when we decided to do this together that no matter what happened we ARE 3 LIVES linked together through weight loss surgery.... and would ban together to rid (ryd) obesity in what ever way we can....

I have to apologize to those that were sitting at my dinner table at fish and tales for the comment they heard.... no other need to explain if you were not sitting there.... those that were there know what happened.....

I have to thank Dr. L and his staff for believing in us RYD....this is always a huge project and with my health i was not able to do as much this time..... Miranda and Yvonne and Sean did the majority of the work this time.....

I have to thank Sean who has been right hand and my left side of my brain these last two weeks honestly i dont know what i would have done without sean - sean from the bottom of my heart thank you so much and for listening to the same thing over and over i am sure - mazie thank you for sharing sean with me and us for the conference and taking over things for me....

thank you to liz who came and baby sat me on a sat.....

all the calls and text that i have been getting....

believe me this is really hard for me.... not knowing what will happen... right now i am on 60% pay and hoping that i will have a job when the doctor releases me... they have tried to bring in a temp for the time being but they never show up - always call in and say they found another job... so i am hoping my company will realize that i do make a difference....

thank you to the TMB for supporting RYD and esepcially me at this time....if i havent said it before this is what family is.... yes there are differences between people but we come together at a time of need..... Hell me and my sisters dont get along most of the time but when i need them they are there..... we are here to support each other even if it is just a text asking how you are doing...even if its a quick post or private message or email...i know i have several private messages sitting there and i will get to them soon.... if i havent answered i apologize at this time....

Sorry this is so long but i have to thank you all.....it was great seeing everyone this weekend....

i cant mention everyone cause i will leave someone off and i dont want to do that.... but i have to thank ms que.... what you said to me on sunday was very true and hit home and i am going to take your advice....love you and respect you so much....

Mel

thank you so much mel...its frustrating and my kids are learning to deal with me not remembering alot of things and it bothers them... my son already told me if i had to i would move in with them....and he would take care of me...of course i started crying cause i am only 43 i shouldnt have to be taken care of....i can function i just forget...

Debra -

I know this time is hard for you.  As long as you do as you are told, all will get better.  I am glad to be there for you.

I know you would be there for me.  It's what friends do...

Love ya girl and call if ya need anything.... 

thank you sean... yep you know i will do anything for you....

Girlfriend you know we are sending you healing thoughts!  We love you and want you better soonest.  Please take care of yourself and allow your body to heal...don't over-stress it freaking about the memory...let it come naturally.  It's got to be so incredibly frustrating.  We're thinking about you and I'm wishing I was closer to help you!  BIG  {{{HUGS}}}!

thank you so much kris...i dont know what i would do without Sean and Ramon.... they both have helped me out so much.... sean being my left side of my brain right now....and ramon helping me remember things we did and places we went....

thank you for the prayers.... please take your vitamins

Debra, prayers are with you.  Constantly. 

On the lighter side, if I was Ramon, I would be careful at the next RYD Conference, healthwise.  Last time it was Yvonne.  This time you. 

thank you george.... yeah hopefully it wont be ramons turn.... say hi to mary for me....hope you both are doing well...i am hoping to go to dallas soon....

Debra honey!  I love you girl!  I know this is SO hard for you, but things will get better.  Give your body some time to rest and time to heal.  You'll get through this.  You know I will do anything that I can when I am down there for you, all you have to do is ask and you know I won't hessitate one bit.  *Hugs*

Love you girl!
