Back From Wherever I Was

Here is the update for those who are following.  I had surgery on June 9th.  I spent the following three days recouping from it.  While recouping, I was on vicodin.  As some of you might already know, it sucks being on vicodin.  Half the time you're spaced and look like you're a crack addict.  I didn't like being that way and stopped taking it.  the doctor advised not to, but I couldn't do it anymore.  He prescribed another drug that was not as bad and it worked well for me.  I didn't want to post anything during that time for fear of writing something I would regret later and not knowing I wrote it.  Super big fear.
Since then I have been getting back to normal.  The diet was put on hold (not voluntarily) but I did well and am ready to get back on.  I also started the summer semester last week and it is going to be a very difficult semester for sure.
Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes and I am pretty much back to normal.  I will be off work for another four weeks and then back to real normal.  If you would like to know more or just want to email, you can do so.  Let me know and I will give you my email.

Jennifer:  I sent an email a few days ago.   Let me know if you received it or not.  If not, I will resend it.

Tomorrow Is D-Day

I have not posted recently because of all that has been going on over the last week.  I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and will likely be out of it for a day or so.  There is anxiety, of course.  But I am confident it will be fine.
Please watch my Facebook page for updates or even just send me an email.
BTW, living room is done!

Time For Changes

I can already see that it is drawing near that I will have to begin making changes.  Changes with my clothes and future.  I still won't buy new clothes.  Last time I did that, it jinxed me and I gained all my weight back.  I am waiting a little longer before going there.  So, I still look pretty bad with the baggy clothes and I look like a street bum sometimes, but I think it's pretty cool, cuz it shows what people really look at when they see someone.  You know, the book cover thing.

I am also now starting to work out more.  I am able to do more without the back ache.  But with the surgery coming next week it will have to be put on hold for a bit.

School starts again for me in a few weeks.  this means studying and school and less free time to do other things.  I have only one class this summer, but the summer is a busy time for me and even one class screws it up.  the fall semester will be worse.  I am going to to to school full time at night and still work full time during the day.  Call me crazy, but it's what I want and know I can do.

There have also been some changes but those will be shared with those that matter.  so if you matter, then you will know.  But if you really don't matter then what does it matter really.  If it matters to anyone then what matters is that it doesn't really matter at all.

Under The Knife

My knee surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday the 9th.  I am not particularly worried about it.  It's a simple surgery and will only take about 30 minutes to an hour.

Unfortunately, it won't be removing any fat, so I won't be losing any weight.

Either Yes or No!

This morning I find out if I am going under the knife.  My orthopedic doctor is going to make the decision as to whether or not I am to have knee surgery.  So in less than an hour I will be making plans for surgery or stocking up on Excedrin because I will be just dealing with the pain instead of the surgery.  Nervous?  Nah!  OK, a little.
