WHY WHY WHY
Jan 02, 2008
Why is everyone so quick to tell me why I should not have WLS and no one agrees that its a good idea. Its for me, its what I have to do for me. I am not asking for anyones help, advice, time or anything else for that matter...........so why are so many people so quick to say "you should not do that".
Another documentation battle
Jan 02, 2008
Man, why are my records so difficult to get....they are mine.
I have my surgeons appt tommarow (1-3-08) and my records that I need are sitting at my doctors office awaiting her approval. It seems as though her husband had a massive MI and required, according to the receptionist, 5 stents.....he is 36y/o. I want to scream that is gonna be me if I don't loose this weight soon.......please help. So I called tody to pick them up and they now say that the MD will not be in until Friday now....whatelse.
Now....do I cancel my surgeon appt or go and say I can't seem to get my files but they are coming.
Im going and if they can not understand that things happen.....o well.
Today is my first official day diet coke free.....this is tough. Yes I stopped smoking and I believe I can do this, but it ain't gonna be easy. I expect and am prepared for headaches, grumpiness, etc. I'm giving it all I have, afterall thats all a person can do.
I spoke with Emily's pedi office today the differential is neut 51%, lymph 39% mono 6%, eosin 2%, baso 0%.....perfect. I might stop worring now, since for the first couple of weeks of this (drama) I was not at all concerned. Delayed response, I guess.

It is New Years Day
Dec 31, 2007
I have since a child believed that what you do on the new year is what you will be doing for the next year. Therefore this year I made a consciuos effort to spend the days of the new year with people I love...family and friends, not work or cleaning or any of those things that I view as negative....lol
My best friend and I went to see PS I Love You....OMG. Take your box of tissue, a friend that knows you well and a leg bag (cause you will not want to leave to pee). Get ready for the ride of the emotional wave.......there are few that you will not experience. WOW.
Then we had lunch (I had Rosemary Chicken), I did OK for the most part except for the bread that I scarfed down with olive oil and garlic. She has had a Band so as usual she did not each as much. Conversation was heavy after the emotion of the movie.....plus I never shut up.
Then we went to the mall and had smoothies, even more yum.....but what I need to learn to enjoy in order to get my protein requirement (70g+ a day and I've never been a big meat eater). Then I went to GNC to purchase unflavored 100% whey protein and added it to my smoothie......way good. Later I made a recipe that people have told me about, kindda like an orange dreamsicle. 1 pk of orange crystal light with 1 scoop of whey protein, non fat pwdr milk and water with ice...I think I may be able to get my protein for life......it is almost like cheating... but very filling. I have officialy made my first protein shake. A start to a new way of life.
Then I came home and spent some much needed quality time with my child........we baked cookies and worked on the computer with her pics from her new digital camera. Early came home and we ate leftover black eyed peas with cabbage and ham. It is cold out and life is good, all that is missing is the fire in the fireplace.
Wishing everyone health, wealth, happines and harmony for the new year.

It was a uneventful new years as Early had to work......I cooked our wealth and progress (cabbage, blackeyed peas with rice and a ham..........yum). We ate dinner and played Clue on DVD.........absolutely hilarious.........OMG.
There were fireworks EVERYWHERE. Hard to sleep, Emily and I stayed up to ring in the New Year and log in the new webkinz......yea
Earlier in the day Emily's doctor's office called to say that her WBC count was now WNL at 5.5 even with the toe infection.....it was 4.1, refrence is 4.5-13.5.....hhumm! I need to make an appt to see her pedi, I and Early feel as though she is very pale with swollen gums and want to make sure that the nurse gives the results to the MD. I would like to know what the differential was....will see
I feel that atleast she is in the right place as her pedi is a hematologist........note to self, a study done in houston at ut stated that there is a link to low WBC and ritalin use.

Today is Early's last of 7 days off.......we decided to take it easy. I cooked and cleaned, he bought groceries...........its amazing how hopeful we are about the new year. We have made our combined plans and individual plans for the new year. We used to make our plans and goals for the future all the time but somewhere life happened and it stopped. But the one thing I always remembered is how good it felt to make a plan and go forth. When the goal was acheived we felt unstoppable. We are there......again.
He is doing much better with the prednisone and antibiotics, hopefully that continues.
I on the other hand have gained back every ounce that I losted at weight management. Remarkably it is not bothering me, I'm not happy about it but it is what happens when I loss weight.........I gain it back.

For the most part it was a beautiful day. I had worked the night before and need some sleep. Slept till about 1p woke up and got bueatied up!!! The night before while I was at work Emily was here with Early and she had him go pick up 2 ( yes I said two) friend to stay over...lol. I maybe wrong but I don't think all dad's would do that alone.
Once I was bueatified we woke the girls up......they had been up till atleast 4am....maybe later. And we all got in the car and went to memorial city to ice skate. They have a bueatiful fire place....Early and I parked ourselves to visit for the evening (something that it seems as though we rarley get to do, there is always something that seems to take priority over us.......about to change). Then we tried to shop....not so good, but we wouldn't go there.
