 WOW..What a week I have had..After a FIVE day hospital stay and TWO surgeries Im finally home!!! There are a lot of emotions I have gone through and if I had to name them all I'm sure I couldn't. Lets see... I went in Monday at 845 for surgery and actually got back in the OR at 1030.. It was a three and half hour surgery, and I have no clue how long I was in recovery... I went back to my room and its all alittle blury..lol... i had a pain med button and cath so I slept pretty much till the next morning. I got the OKAY to go on with the clears and cath out and pain button taken away. It all seem to being going good, no sickness, I was did have a upset belly, i would say my little tummy was upset it seemed like something else.. Well Wednesday morning I was told I could have my discharge papers that evening... But around noon I started getting a fever and was really feeling "off" so around 5ish my Doctor took the  discharge orders back and started trying to figure out was going on!! At this time i was feeling like crap, couldnt move, and was so freakin hot!! I had ice packs all over my body... It was Horrible! So then at about 11 wednesday night I was woken up by my doctor telling me we where going back in surgery.. RIght noW! Wow.. I started crying, and freakin the hell out... I was on so many pain meds and so out of it I was so lost.. Anyway by 1130 I was back in the OR for another 2 hour surgery... Something about my small intestines being pinched and all of it was swollen and whatever else.... SO here I go again, back to my room, pain button and a cath!! At this time I couldnt have ANYTHING by mouth! I was dry my lips felt like they where fallling off! and I couldnt take but by Thursday evening I got the Okay.. Well Friday evening I finally got to go home!!! Im doing good other than the little pain I have on my left side on those cuts.. i have six and a drain tub. I also get two shots a day for blood clots. Im having no problem keeping things down and Im alway sipping on something because I feel like I cant get enough to drink.. My energy is a low and I hate not being able to get up and go!! I weighed myself this morning and was 5 pounds down.. Doesnt seem like enough for the hell I went through, but yeah Im sure its just fine..lol...  I love my doctor he was really there for me, and took care of me because last time I was coming out of surgery I was horribly sick and I told him I was scared about that part and he told them to make sure I was not sick.. and I wasnt!!! What a to start this wonderful journey!!! If that didnt stop me, nothing can!! 

 Wow!! Im having surgery in the morning!!! I think it just now hit me..lol.. i have been so busy with family today that i just now am getting things ready..Not only do i have to get my stuff ready but also for my kids since they will be at daycare.... Anyway my nerves are starting to get to me.. Im totally not nervous about the surgery itself.. Im nervous about afterwards.Not for me but for my kids... Im worried that my little baby will not handle it to well and even my older kids!! They need there momma!! :) So i hope that i have no issues and can get back to life!!! A better life!!! Im so proud of myself! I have thought about this for years and tomorrow it going to happen.. Its a dream come true!!! i will soon be on the losing side and cant freakin wait!!!

Wow.. Im so pissed off right!!! We just moved out of our house that we were renting and the landlord is such an ass!!!! I know people are low but wow, he is REALLY LOW.... He is trying to get out of paying us 2000 that he owes us 1325 for rent because we paid the last month twice. (due to the bank sending automatic checks to him) and before we moved in we had to pay the last month... the rest is our deposit. I spent all day and i mean ALL DAY cleaning that house I even shampoo the carpets!! Anyway he come over to do a walk through and get the keys and stated everything was good and such.. So we left... then we recieve the check today that was only 450 dollars out of 1000!!! What the hell!! He said he had to shampoo the carpets and a whole list of bull shit and I know its bullshit because when i took my kids to school the next day, the new people where moving in and that was at 830 that morning!!!!! 

Now all that pisses me off but what REALLY pisses me off, is when I called him to ask him what was up and where was the rest of the money he said he didnt owe us any of that, there was no proof and get this he said that i was FATTER THAN A PIG.. Really?!?! you fucking ass hole.... How low is that... I must say after that comment I went off on him...Then I hung up and he had the nerve to call me back!!! 


This really pisses me off but it also hurt.. I know he is nothing to me but still.... What does my weight have to do with anything, I have been nothing but nice to him, paid my rent on time and even did improvements to the house and this is what I get?!?!  I cried... I was so pissed, hurt and ahhh.... I cant wait till I have my surgery even more!!! 

Well thanks for listening to me vent... 


 

Hello everyone!! Well Im so excited to say that i HAVE MY DATE!!! WOW!!! I went and talked to my surgeon today and left with a date.. Its April 5th!!! The Monday after I get back from Oklahoma to visit family... I will soon be on the other side of all of this!! Well i gotta go do some school work and clean house! Today made my weekend for sure!!! 

  Well I went to the "crazy" doctor on Tuesday. She asked a lot of question, and I mean a lot... I feel like I was trying to get a job..lol.. Anyway well today my case worker called and I passed!  Im not crazy! Who would have thought!  Anyway, I got  my "orders" to get my blood work done and EKG and also get an appt. with my regular doctor.. I see her on the 24th and the blood work and EKG this week!  After all that I get all my paperwork and go to MAMC! YEA!!!!  Its so close! The closer it gets the happier and excited I get. 

We are moving, which is stressful in the next week and half, then Im in school full-time, which is going good... Then in March Im talking a little time off and going to Oklahoma to see some of my friends! 


Its going to be a busy next few months but its all worth it!!!

Finally talked to my case worker again on Monday. My nutritionist  wasn't clear about somethings in the email but after talking to my case worker I got her to understand..lol.. I guess she thought I wanted to wait till the end of March to go see the "crazy" doctor.. But in fact I just didn't want to do anything the last week because I'm leaving to go to Oklahoma..

She put my referral in Monday and Tuesday, I got my appt. on February 9th at 5:00pm.. :) I'm excited, one step closer.. After I pass that part then I get my blood work and see my regular doctor and then go to see the surgeon. YEA!! I know I still have a few steps to go but its closer than I was 6 months ago! 

I have a class on the 12th to learn about how to eat afterwards..thats a 3 hour class...

along with all of this Im in school full-time and getting ready to move....Just have to remember to keep on track and dont fall off...

well gotta go do some homework before its time to go swimming!

I guess I'm going to start using these blogs to get things off my chest... Its a 1130 and I'm not sleepy and have tons of stuff running through my head. I'm starting back to college in less than a week and for some crazy reason I have enrolled myself into 18 hours this semester.I'm starting to believe I'm crazy..lol... I have like 3 papers due by the 31st and cant even start because there website for online classes isn't working! WTF.  I have to write them a letter telling them why I think I deserve in state tuition...If I dont have to pay the difference which is 6000 dollars!!! Well I think I deserve it because I have lived there 25 years of my life, I still am registered as an Oklahoma person my drivers license my car tags and the list goes on BUT thats not enough I have to write a freakin paper... Its not the paper that is bothering me its all the hoops that I have had to go through with this school.. Well enough about school...

As I go through this Im starting to realize who my true friends are.. Its sad that something that is good for me, something that will help me be health again is doing this. I have or should I say had some friends that are against it. Well Im sorry its not your body, its not your life, ITS MINE. Its time for me to selfish and do something for myself.  Dont get me wrong I do have some friends that are very supportive of it! One of them I feel guilt when I talk about it with her. I know I shouldnt and I know she is happy for me But she is going through such a hard time, its not even fair! Her little 2 year old boy has stage 4 cancer. Its just as we talk about things she is getting horrible news from doctors and Im getting great news... So if you pray please pray for him and all the other children and there families dealing with cancer.. Its a hard fight they are fighting, and they need support!!! 

well I guess Ill get off here and go read my books and try to get ahead before I get behind on those papers.. Wish me luck! lol.. 

Also I have lost 9.5 pounds!!! :) And two more classes to go!!

 Today was my 2nd visit with the nutritionist. I have lost 8 pounds since Dec 15!! Who would have ever thought that i would be excited to lose 8 pounds!?!?! I just know its a step closer to my goal! It went great! She said I was doing good on the veggies and fruits, just need to work on getting a little more protein.. Im over halfway done with the classes! I like them and actually learning some new things.. Its nice to be around other people that are going through the samething.. I get to start the testing, the metal part a the others. But have to wait till March to do my liver scan. Which is fine because Im going back to Oklahoma at the end of March! 

A year ago if you asked me about this I would have never a thought that I could be so close. These steps have helped me realize that I can do this!! I can be a normal weight and I dont have to live like this!!! I love the feeling of working out and knowing that I can do it!

Today I have also found out that Im going to have to take vitamin D pills for the rest of my life.. Blah.. My Vitamin D was done to 11. They put me on a 50000 IU pill once a week.... After the 1st week I started to tell a difference.. My knees dont KILL me when I walk and my legs arent in pain all the time.. i just blamed it on my weight and just being tired... 

Well I guess thats all for now..... 

Well today I was suppose to see the Nutritionist BUT she had called in...WTF. Seriously? Okay I understand that people have to call in sometimes and thats fine BUT not calling the people who have an appt, thats not fine!! I had to make plans for my kids to go to daycare, also get up at 6 to get everyone ready to go and be at the daycare at 730... So now I have to wait till the 15th to see her again... Hopefully Ill get to see her then.. 

Started the classes... It went better than I thought it would go.... So thats a plus! Im actually excited about going to the next one.. Weird huh?? lol ( I think a little of it has to do with the fact that Im kid free) 

MAMC was yesterday.. That only lasted an hour and half... It basically was everything that I have already seen and heard. I did get a paper that has me on a waiting list to start my "pathway" BUT im doing my classes and all of that at the Naval Hospital? So do I stay on that list or call and get my name off?? 

Anyway, I have done fairly well on the diet and exercise part.. On the weekends I dont really " exercise" because im always busy with all the kids and husband and dont have much "me" time.. So I guess I need to be working on that..

Well I guess thats all for now! Hope everyone else is well!! 

 Well on Friday I went in to speak to the case manager. She was a very nice lady and answered all the questions that I had. She put in all my referrals for tricare and I called Friday and have everything ready to go.. as far as the classes go. So on December 2 i start going to classes once a week. Plus Im going to the MAMC for the session there. I did have an appt with the Nutritionist on Nov 25, but I will be out of town so it is now on December 4. I am just amazed how smoothly it is going so far. I do not have my gallbladder so thats one less step that I have to do..  Im already starting on losing the 10-20 pounds and started my food dairy online. And exercise for 45 to an hour a day.  I also will be starting to go back to college full time in January. So im going to be busy busy! But it will all be worth it in the end! So I would also love to hear any helpful hints or ideas!
