WOO HOO WED WLS EXPRESS

My Woohoo is that I am now down 22 pounds post surgury in just over 1 month. I stagnated for a couple of weeks which I through to my body adjusting going from liquids back to solids but have lost 5 pounds in the last week. Am now down 58 pounds so far in the great journey and have returned back to work which really helps to keep me from snacking.

Well its morning

My brother called me last night to let me know more details with whats going on with my mom (she has been in the hospital since Monday night). He asked me what I was doing while we were just chit-chatting, I told him I was finishing up my walking on the tread-mil at the gym. We were talking about him and his knee and upcoming job interviews then out of the blew he told me my mom's MRI (he also said my sister was going to call me latter on and tell me the results) results were not good then went into a  little bit of detail. Mom has 12 1cm tumors in her brain. I couldn't believe he told me then. I know something not good was going on with mom with her falling a lot and I have noticed that her speech has been a little slurred lately.

When my mom got sick earlier this year we made sure one of us had the medical power of attorney so we would know whats going on as my mom is very secretive with her health. We chose my sister since she had worked in the medical field in the past, plus she has a good head on her shoulders and lives close to mom. My sister called me latter on to give me details she has metastatic disease (secondary cancerous growth), it's from her original lung cancer that she had towards the beginning of the year (they removed 1 lobe, said she was cured). My sister was going to be at the hospital this morning when the doctor did his rounds to get more info. I know they had already re-furred her to an oncologist.

Sister just called I'm leaving work in a few to go home and make arraignments to fly home.

My prayers are with your mom,, you and your whole family.  I am so sorry for your news.  Keep us posted.

I'm so, so sorry for your news.Prayers for your mom and your family.

Your loved!

Good Morning everybody!!

Well my WaaaHoooo I guess happened yesterday.  I have met goal.  I have lost 109 lbs.  I am happy but then for some reason want to cry.  But do not get me wrong I am happy.  Thanks to all my friend and new family for making me feel wanted in your lives and helping me thru this journey.  I could have not done it without your help. I am having an EGD done in 2 weeks.  One reason is that I have been having tummy problems after I eat and the other he said he does one annually anyway.  The heart monitor I wore last week well the results came back inconclusive.  They are not sure but want it rerun they think there was some interference.  They said not to worry about it.  So I am not.  All worring would do is make that maybe ulcer worse.  Oh well.

I am so looking forward to Ikea and Winstar this weekend.  That is if everybody leaves my checking account alone.  2 months ago our insurance company took out money and it was not the time of the month or the amount that comes out.  We called and they had taken somebody elses payment out of our account.  Well you guessed it they did it again. last night.  My hubby checks all accounts everyday and they did it again.  He called them and they said they didn't put thru an ACH from our acct they had no record of it.  Well he just called me said money in back in our acct.  They had done it again.  I think they must have a fraud problem.

Prayer for Meggie and Rebecca and anybody else that needs it.  Laura sorry about your car.

Debbi you missed your calling you should be a teacher or a daycare owner. 

Thanks Karen, actually I got my degree in Child Psychology with the plan to run a child care center.  Silly me gave that up when my ex complained (long story, not worth the time).  One day I'll get back to it, right now I make more money and better benefits doing my job rather than my passion.  It sucks being responsible sometimes....

My WooHoo is that today is my Friday!!  Week one in the office will be in the books.  I'm not so sure about this drive downtown every day.  Traffic hasn't been bad, it's just doesn't seem hardly worth $9 a day to park when I can do the same work from the comfort of my recliner at home. 

Today I meet with my HR manager, which doesn't really do HR stuff - crazy the way titles and duties around here don't really match up, but am anxious to get some questions answered around just general policy at THE FIRM.

I have my 1-year post op appt on Friday morning and spent a little time putting my 3 month, 6 month and 1 year lab results into a spreadsheet - nothing is trending downwards and B12 is off the charts, but supposedly that's not a bad thing.  I've been slacking a little on taking my morning vitamins because they had started to cause my stomach to be a little fussy.  Going to try to bring them to work and have them after breakfast and see if that helps. 

Have a great day everyone - I'm going to try and make Tawnya's support group meeting tonight, but that could change depending on how the day goes and what the weather is doing.  Not much on driving across the metroplex in the rain!  Excuses, excuses ... LOL

Girl, I have towels and can dry you off.  lol  I hate the rain!!  I know we need it, but it's just so darn depressing.  Where is my sunshine?  I think my tan is fading already!! 

Hey gang.  I know I've been MIA lots lately.  Just really busy...two jobs, volunteer work, DD's drill team and booster club, my oldest dog is really sick, we've had some birthdays, have been traveling quite a bit...and well, just in general life is getting in the way of my internet time. 

I'm also working on my enrollment for the fall semester.  I think I have to leave the community colege and move to the university now based on the credits earned, I may have reached my max allowable for transfer.  I've applied to three schools.  I'm waiting to hear on financial aid and degree programs.  I have an appointment with an advisor next week.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to finally nail down a major and set my graduation plan.  I hate making decisions!  I'm fascinated by several different areas and I'm scared that I'll make the wrong choice.  Argh!  I need a fortune cookie or something.  lol

Support group is at my house tonight.  Hoping to see some peeps that I've been missing.  I've only heard from 3 members so far.  I hope more get to come and just haven't had time to let me know.  I'm really missing you all.

Back to work....gotta squeak out a little more money.

Need to go run a few errands before I go to work today. Looking forward to an early lunch tomorrow with our Tracey! Well better go hop in the shower. Prayers for those that have loved ones that are ill. Continued prayers for our Meggie and Rebecca.
