I'm now considered slightly overweight

Hi everyone, I just checked my BMI, I'm 25.3 just slightly overweight, my weight is down to 143. It says my ideal weight is 104-127. Been that low in fact I was 102 age 21 in bootcamp. That was fine then but not now. I'm comfortable where I am, but not being able to eat solids, my size 12 jeans are getting baggier in the butt. I lost it somewhere, if you see it send it back. The bones have no padding and needs the butt back. One is lonely without the other part. Reward offered to who ever finds my butt. I fully endorse this message. Love Kathy

I hear they're sellin' 'em at Walmart! Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor!

HI Kym your boxes are going in the mail tomorrow. Otherwise I don't know when I will get a chance to mail them. Thanks, did you find my butt somewhere, it would be lily white with cellulite. I am posting a reward for it. Love you, and Merry Christmas, Kathy

Congratulations! You've had a wonderful loss. We have something in common, too. I read your blog, and I agree about the bone marrow biopsy. I've assisted in them, and the people who are knocked out do really well. The ones who are awake, not so much. I was supposed to have "conscious sedation" for mine, and the doc refused to order effective meds. I **should** have revoked my consent, and I'll certainly never consent to anything like that unsedated again!! The only reason I didn't revoke the consent was I wasn't sure how bad it was going to be. Just as a week or so ago, I allowed the opthalmologist to poke a needle in my eye and inject steroids into my retins. Lesson learned there, too!! I'm wishing all kinds of good wishes for your health and happiness. Love dennie

When it comes to the pain scale and they say on a scale of 0 no pain or 10 the worst pain, I always tell them kidney stones and bone marrow biopsy are the worst pain anyone can imagine. I can't have steroids as I bloat up too much with fluids around my heart and lungs. The right kidney can't handle it so it doesn't function properly. They can numb the outside but not the bone or the removal of the marrow. My oncologist that I have now says she puts her patients a sleep when she does a bone marrow biopsy. So far in the 15 months she's been my Dr. she has never done another bmb, just does the pcr blood test that has to come out of the arm. I am Philadelphia Chromazone positive with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Basically it's PCR+CML Thanks for the good wishes. I will certainly be needing them tomorrow. I'll be in the hospital. Love Kathy

Congrats Kathy. Butts and Breasts are pricy but possible at this point. How tall are you girlfriend? Beth B. in TN

I'm 5'3". I saw my gastric surgeon today, and my weight is 145. He's not too happy about that since I haven't even been trying to lose the weight nor have I been working out as I am too tired and weak to do much. I've gone from 277 in January for surgery to 145. When He saw me in August for my 7 month weigh-in instead of my 6 month weigh-in, he said I had lost 68% of my weight. I have dropped 37 lbs since he last saw me. I'm too pale even though my blood work is fine, I look like death bed warmed over. I'm dropping to fast and I'm not even trying. He admitted me back into the hospital in Maryville this mornng but I had to come home and cancel appointments for next 2 weeks, and get my chemo pills. The hospitals don't carry them, and the nurse will make sure I get them while I am in the hospital. He says he's not releasing me until he knows for sure 100% why I choke on food after having my throat dialated, and why I'm dropping weight so fast. I am not supposed to drop the amount I have is so short of a time. I'm not working out, I am not getting is even 20 ozs of water a day. But I continue to lose. I told him about the mammogram in September so he's ordered a ct scan on my chest and neck area that I was supposed to have next Tuesday that my oncologist had set up for me since no one had checked my neck or other lymph nodes but just the left one under the arm. He too feels that I have cancer somewhere, as it's feeding off the excess skin, but I will be on a feeding tube, and if he can't do anything regarding what ever he finds out, I will be on a feeding tube the rest of my life. I am hoping he will let me out the Friday prior to Christmas to spend it with my sons in Nashville and see my two grandsons. As long as I am back to the hospital by the 26th, he may let me do that much. Now is when I wish I had a lap top instead of a desk top computer. But I will have my own room because I have no immune system to speak of. I've asked Tina Cannon to post for me as she lives near Knoxville. Merry Christmas, Love Kathy

OHH Kathy I'm praying for you dear. Lord, please help them figure out what is going on with Kathy. I pray that everyone that comes into contact with her will be supernaturally guided to do the right thing to help her find out how to become whole again. Lord give her body strength and her caretakers wisdom. Give her peace Lord. Help her holidays to work out to be a joyful time of celebration of your birth. Bless her Lord in the name of Jesus. Beth B. in Chattanooga Please do your best to keep us informed babe. HUGGS and prayers

thank you Beth. Thank you so very much. It's nice to know that the Christians on this board aren't afraid to pray and not just mouthing it. Merry Christmas, with my love and prayers to you and your family, Kathy
