Hi again and thanks for the greetings and birthday wishes!

I had a good birthday - spent the day in Rochester with my son (who was also having his birthday)  - checked in with his neurologist - who is a specialist in the field of movement disorders (tourette's syndrome is a movement disorder - although he does swear when he becomes angry, he doesn't randomly blurt out words like on movies - and he does have random head/neck and leg tics). It's a lot of travel, but its only 2 or 3 times per year - and it's a nice overnight trip. The perks include a nice hotel for a "patient rate" with a hot tub and a PF Changs, where the lettuce wraps appetizer is WLS friendly (and delicious).

Many people left me Happy Birthday messages - and even the fact that my family treats me like crap went unnoticed most of the day. I'm reaching a point of acceptance and realizing that they aren't going to change, so why waste my time and energy hoping. I'm also realizing that it's ok to stay away and do my own thing at times when their negativity is just going to discourage or hurt me. I'd rather do somthing alone or with my kids and be happy and positive than end up leaving their house in tears over something that happened 20 years ago, or because I paid too much for tires!

My best birthday present was the scale dropping 3 pounds this week - after week of a pound at a time! I feel kind of recharged - I would love for things to pick up with the weight loss - but as long as the scale moves down and doesn't move up ... I'm not going to complain. That's just asking for trouble. 41 pounds to Onderland ... haven't seen a weight beginning with a 1 since my age began with a 1 LOL!

I hope everyone is having a good week - it's kind of rainy here in upstate NY, but we had a whole week of sunshine and warm weather that was very out of character. I wouldn't mind if that weather came back - but we don't get that kind of weather here in the spring. Or even in the summer some years.

Have fun everyone!
Hugs - Diane

I LOVE your wow moment!!!!! I've got to make this a quick one but I've seen some articles lately about the blood sugar.  Are you still on any meds that affect blood pressure?  Check out this link.  Maybe something of interest?

I'd go park my butt at the office until I got an answer.  Won't they make you start all over???  I mean you got a letter and it might be just as simple as the office saying "Oh yea, you're approved, let's schedule the date".  How much can one person take?  What a frustrating situation. 
Sweetie, I'm so hoping you get someone to talk to you soon!
