(ex-wife's camera - never mind the date)

It has been a long ass two years getting back to this point!  It FELT GOOD to get "suited and booted" and let my ass reacquaint itself with a Crown Vic seat!  Possibility that the non-paid gig is likely to morph into a paid gig depending on what happens in budget workshops between now and Oct. 1 when the fiscal year begins.

If you are a newbie, or an early post-op - tie a knot in your rope and hang on!  I can't tell you all will be well every day.  It don't happen that way!  But I can tell you that for the majority of WLS patients who follow their program and keep up with the maintainence after the "honey moon" life can be pretty damn good!!  

Don, you're looking good in that uniform. Congrats.

I'm about 5 pounds lower than where I would like to be. I've been struggling this past week with some bad intestinal cramping, which has made it tough to eat. Hopefully we can figure out the cause soon.

As for positive stuff, I did finally post my 8 month (goal!) picture in my profile.

Hope you have a great week.
