Potpourri of things ~ weight & MRI

February 26, 2002

Hi Friends...first of all, I've been doing Slim Fast since Dec. 26. The

only flavors I like are Chocolate Fudge and Chocolate Royale. The best

way for me is to freeze them 2 - 3 hours and have a thick, rich

shake-type of treat. I have really grown to enjoy them, and I have cut

my candy and pastry consumption by at least 80%. Along with the Slim

Fasts I do a common-sense food plan. I totally agree that diets are not

for those of us who are really battling weight...it has to be a change

in lifestyle.

I'd love to be a support and have support from this dear group towards

the goal of losing excess weight and becoming healthier.

I went for the MRI...still a couple inches " too round " . So...I went to

the receptionist to pick up my xrays to take to the neurosurgeon...they

could not find them anywhere. The girl I had originally handed them to

(had to bring them from my Primary Care Dr.) remembered me giving them

to her. I was NOT a happy camper. They said they would track them

down. I called four hours later and they had done NOTHING to locate

them. Fortunately the lady who answered was very, very nice, apologized

for their mess-up and promised me she'd track them down herself. This

morning she called and had located them...someone had sent them back to

my Primary Care. Shheeeesh. Then I talked to the neurosurgeon's nurse

about the fact that I cannot yet get an MRI...she was very nice and said

she'll talk to the neuro. about a CT myelogram (?). So, my appointment

is moved up to March 13.

I think I need a nap!

Hugs of Hope...

Tess
