It is just me......

Just an up date of the times and trials of me LOL

I returned to work on Sept 29Th. It was to be a short work week due to a teachers in service day. I made it ALL four days!! I was very tired at the end of school but managed to make it home and take a nap.

Then the next week of school went ok, the kids are a very needy group this year. The student who would be rated as our lowest in class last year, is now the highest in class this year. This is a huge flip around.
That is what happens when you work in special education. Expect the UN-expected and except the best! Is my motto.

My health- Is ok, I am still not feeling that energy everyone talks about having. I get tired and need some naps.LOL. My eating comes and goes. Some days/meals I can eat 1/4 of a cup of food and another meal/day I can eat a cup.

My weight has been at a stand still almost a month now- kinda bummed out about that. I hear it is ok and soon the weight will just fall off. There is nothing I can do but wait and see.

I have in the last day started retaining water in my lower legs. This was a problem before surgery and I took the lowest dose of a water pill by Rx. I wonder if that will be a need again or even something I can be able to do.

I have a funny to share- On Friday morning while getting ready for work I wanted something to drink. I am so sick and tired of- water,crystal lite,propel,powerade zero.. I made myself a nice tall cup of tea with splenda. I know doc G said no caffeine for now when I had surgery-he didn't say for how long. Maybe he will toss me under the bus for this,who knows. Anyways, that cup of tea was GRAND! I was so happy,laughing,smiles and full of energy at work! Co-workers were giggling saying oh now we know what you would of been like in your drinking days- FUN! I was having a caffeine HIGH! I have never (that I remember) experienced this before. I always drank soda and then once I gave that up I went to coffee for about 2 yrs prior to surgery, so I always had a supply of caffeine in my blood system. I think back on Friday and have to chuckle I finally know what people were talking about all these yrs of having a buzz from soda,coffee etc.. I was one of them if even for just that morning LOL

I go back to Doc G on the 23rd for my follow up of 2ND surgery. I will then ask him if I can have coffee or tea and if it HAS to be decaf or can I have leaded LOL

I have done my measurements for the month and will post them on that blog but I will give you the total on this one-

(drum roll)

I have lost a total of 32.75 inches from neck to ankles.
Time to get my day moving- October fest at the mall, walking to do,things and crafts to look at and I am sure things to buy LOL

Take care

Hi Tink.....Loved reading this.  You sound so good.  Glad to hear you are healing each day and I'm sure the energy level will increase too.  Congratulations on the inches lost. 
I can hardly wait for all this to happen to me.

Have a wonderful weekend.  We haven't received any of that snow predicted for western ND  yet. But who knows.............It's still early in the day!!

Ty for all the good cheers. It is funny some people call them wow moments and I am just like whatever, it is all part of the program. Maybe as things progress I will feel more like others LOL doutful I am a lone piper and always have been

Tink, you are doing very well.  Don't get uptight about the lack of weight loss.  You may be retaining water and It will come off.   Your story about the caffine was a hoot.   You should mention your lack of energy, and leg swelling it to your doc or his PA as he/she might have some insight into a fix. 

Keep us up to date with your progress.
