Da booty is better at least!!!! (update)
Well part of all this crap is done. Or at least part 1. Had the horrible test and steroid injection in my tailbone on 11th (2 days ago). OUCH that HURTTTT worse than having my kids. They said scream as loud as you want to just do not move. So I accommodated them quiet well. And did not move a bit ;o) OOOOOOooooooooooowwweeeeeeee
MY BUTT IS sooooooo much better now. They say it will take up to 5 days to get the full effect of the steroid. While they were in me they tested and found out my tailbone is severally malformed and dislocated. BUT the steroid has sooo helped. I have not had this "LESS" amount of pain in my ass in over 2 years now. I forgot what it is like to not have pain in my ass ;o) There is still some there but sooo reduced.
Now the next ookkiieee is on Tuesday. Have to have the angiogram on my heart. Will not know the outcome on what is going to happen till I wake up. Either it is a false positive.. or I get stints in my heart or I get a heart bypass. They will not know till they are in there. I will not know till I wake up. Still can not get my head wrapped around this but at least I am not crying all the time now. I am just trying to think of everything that has to be done before I go in. Like Durable Power of Attorney, RE do my Will, Make arrangements for my disabled son if something goes wrong. You know the usual things you never want to think about. AND if everything goes well with the angiogram my knee replacement will not be canceled and I get that one the 6th of April. BUT on the 1st of April, one way or another, I have a appointment with the GI Surgeons in Denver to have the herniated intestine fixed. (known side effect of a gastric bypass.. which I have,, they finally figured out what is wrong with me on this subject) No clue on the date for that surgery till then. Yea, allot of crap going on. Crying is not feasible because of everything I have to do to get ready for the "worse" if it happens. I am just taking this one day at a time. I have no family to speak of but here in OH (and RL) Sue, and Suzette has been awesome in there support of me. Thank you girls you are awesome friends!!!!! I am not sure how I would be doing if it was not for Sue letting me talk her ear off and coming over to visit with me.
Anyway, at least I stopped crying. I will keep ya guys posted.

PS. I am really trying to get this Gastric Bypass Social Group going here in Colorado Springs. We do not have very many people right now. IF any of you live near us or know someone that does please invite them to join us.
