Wednesday:)

Well, it is 6 o'clock in the morning and I am awake so I decided to update my blog:)
I went back to work yesterday, only for 2 hours since our Grant $ was cut in 1/2 so we are only working 2 hours a day, 4 days a week. After my big 2 hours I went to Marsh and then home for a LONG nap. Can I tell you how worn out I was. Today I am going to try Target as I have not been there in over a month.
Lets get back to Marsh....we all know they are having trouble and closing stores. Well, as much as I hate going in WalMart, it is much cheaper. I went to buy Yogurt and it was 93 cents a tub at Marsh compared to 50 cents at WM. Hello....that is almost DOUBLE and they only had 1 of the 3 flavors I like!!!!

Now for the BIG news......53 pds as of this morning:) I am thrilled. I am feeling a lot better and the pain in my back is not as bad. I am sooooo hoping the worse is over. I know I need to get alot more protein in but it is soooo hard. Last night I ate a little bit of Wendys chili and it was really good.

This Week

Well, this week I had to go in for a cat scan on Thursday and see the Dr on Friday. I actually DROVE myself on Thursday but had Hank go with me on Friday (good thing). When I went to the Dr she said I had fluid around my lungs, which I kind of knew since I was so out of breathe. They "tapped" me and took out almost a liter of fluid and let me say once my lung started to reinflate IT HURT LIKE HELL. I am hoping this works and the fluid stays away as the next step would surgically going in and breaking up the fluid and putting a drainage tube in. Keep your fingers and anything else crossed that this is it.
I go again next Friday for another cat scan and back to her the following Monday. They took the picc line out yesterday so I feel like a free women.

Good News is....drum roll please.....I had part of a smoothie yesterday and it was wonderful.
Other good news is as of today, which is a month since my surgery, I have lost 25 pds and I lost 2o on the pre diet so I have lost a total of 45 pds. Personally I think it should 100 for what I have been through since it has not been a easy or fun way to lose.
Thanks again to everyone who calls, offers to help with the kids and "babysit" me:) We apprecaite everything everyone has done.

3th Times the Charm!

Well, we are hoping the old saying 3th times the charm holds true as I have been back in the hospital all week. I woke up on the 1st in pain and then started with fevers and went back to the ER around 7 and have been there till today. I have 3 absecces (spelling) on my spleen from when I leaked last time. So I have been on IV antibotics all week and came home with a Central, Pecc line and have to stay on them for another week. One I take 3 times a day and the other 2 times a day.
Sooooo, I am hoping this is the END of the bad and the rest will all be GOOD. I feel better then I did last week at this time, so that is good.
Good news in I am down 39 pds:)
A BIG BIG thank you to Diane for bring me home from the hospital. Samantha for keeping Tyler over night and ALL day Thursday since Wednesday was not a good day for the kids and to DENISE for sitting at the hospital with me on Wednesday night till 10:00 when I knew I was dieing and being such a GREAT friend.
