Safety First

Hello all my gorgeous and handsome Obesity Help family.

I am a little upset as yesterday did not work out as I wanted.

I did not get a surgery date due to my high blood pressure.

I have to go to my PCP today at 10:30 am in order to get it under control so that she can release me to have surgery and then I will get a surgery date.

I am mad about it, but I know in the long run that safety comes first.

Has anyone else gone through this before?

Keep me in your prayers and best wishes.

Have an absolutely fabulous day.

Go After Your Dreams by Collin McCarty

You're good, but you're going to be great.

You're the best, but you're going to get better.

Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember: those are always the ones that lead to the most beautiful views.

Challenges come along inevitably: how you respond to them determines who you are - deep down inside - and everything you're going to be.

Increase the chances of reaching your goals by working at them gradually.

The very best you can do is all that is asked of you.

Realize that you are capable of working miracles of your own making.

Remember that opportunities have a reason for knocking on your door, and the right ones are there for the taking.

You don't always have to win, but you do need to know what it takes to be a winner.

It's up to you to find the key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life.

Understand that increased difficulty brings you nearer to the truth of how to survive it - and get beyond it.

Cross your bridges.

Meet your challenges.

Reach out for your dreams, and bring them closer and closer to your heart.

Get rid of the "if only's" and get on with whatever you need to do to get things right.

Go after what you want in life, with all the blessings of all the people who care about you. And find out what making your wishes come true really feels like.

 

I am hella happy as I received a phone call today from Dr. Nick Nicholson's office.

My surgery date is scheduled for September 2, 2009.

I am so excited and I cannot wait.

My EKG, chest xray, and blood work are scheduled for August 21, 2009 at 1 pm.

I am waiting for the dietitian to call me back to schedule my one on one appointment.

This is really happening faster than I could have ever imagined.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY!

Congratulations, Teena! The best of luck to you. You don't mention what kind of surgery you're having........

Kathy

Good luck!

Thank you.
