All is not doom and gloom though, I have got really good doctors and my son brought my laptop today so I can get on the internet and not feel so Isolated. Plus since I'm on a clear liquid diet I should have a good weight loss this week.
Everybody have a nice evening.

Well... ~chuckle~ Seems like I start a lot of my sentences with that word!
I contacted my surgeon about the need for a do-over on my blood work and was told that it wasn't necessary because my PCP had ordered an ACTH Level test as well and both were in normal limits. If it was the second test that was the fluke, then the ACTH would have been out of whack as well. I asked specifically how there could have been such a drastic difference and she said that the time may have been marked incorrectly on the draw, which would and could and actually happens more often then one would think throw the levels off. In 2000 cases that my surgeon's office has done, they said a second test has always been within normal limits.
The nurse ended the conversation by telling me that my paperwork had been faxed to my insurance company.... yesterday! Wooooo hoooooo
Oh, and I go to pick up my CPAP machine tomorrow after work. I go back to the pulmonary doctor on March 2nd at which time, he will send in my clearance as long as I've been able to tolerate the machine. I don't see this as a problem as the sleep technician said I did extremely well with it.
Thank you everyone *hugs*
And second..WEEP! You took me WAY back to when my son, Patrick was a little guy-with the Pinewood derby! OH the fun we had!! He is now 25 and lives and works up in Alaska on the Pipeline.
Enjoy your WOWS and enjoy your family!!
Peace,

My wife handed me the pants at the store and I held them up and told her that these had to be a "kids medium". The waist was too small and the legs were too skinny. The helpful Eagle Scout in the store insisted that they were the adult unisex medium. There was no way this was going to fit me. So, in total disbelief, off I went to the dressing room. Hmmm...my legs are fitting in just fine but there is no way...wait...I can button the waist with about an inch of room to spare.
Two weeks ago I was so excited to fit into new Levi boot cut jeans with a 36 inch waist. I bought two pair. Now they are both loose on me! I never thought I'd see my military weight again but it's coming...

I have a feeling that you are just fine and can go forward but make yourself comfy about the decision.

I want you to make some index cards and write down each of those great qualities and I'd love for you look at them every morning and really think about what they mean. It's a way to start pushing out the stinkin' thinkin'. You are the catch of a lifetime girlfriend!

I don't have any good information-but I saw your post and wanted to drive by and send a HUG!!
I don't know if you are still in touch with your Bari-surgeon. If so-it wouldn't hurt to put in a call for a "just in-case information" thing.
I hope things get worked out for you!!
Peace,
