6/14: What did YOUR scale say this week?
Thanks Patti. It's good to be back. I'm feeling a bit disoriented and just started lurking again.
I got really sucked up into a work project and part way through my mom's health started deteriorating. When things don't go well in life, it's sure easy to put everyone else first and then deal with the resulting stress by eating.
Anyway, project is wrapped, Mom is now with Dad, teeing off the back nine in Heaven. I'll likely blog more about the events back east. but it wasn't traumatic, it was peaceful. Had a great time with the cousin that always made me feel like the ugly step-sister, My brother was an idiot, but that's not unusual.
But when I came back to Oregon, I felt overwhelmed. I've gained 20 lbs. in a month.
I'm seeing my shrink more often and am ready to take WLS more seriously. I think our local hospital is ging to make it as a center of excellence. I really don't want to have to travel to Portland, as everything I do makes me so tired. Everytime I have to get in and out of the car is more wear and teart on my knees, I'm back to using my cane pretty much full time, as my knees did not fare well with economy airplane travel and 2 seats. So much for flying to SF for a DS. I see an endocronologist in a few weeks.
Oh, and through it all, I'm still swimming. I think that's all that keeps me going sometimes.
