Hi Everyone

I just thought I would check in and let you all know what is going on in my life. I have been dealing with a lot of stress these last couple of weeks. My husband's diabetes has been out of control and he finally went on insulin. He has been having a lot of mood swings also. My relationship with my husband had been kind of deteriorating lately. I wasn't to sure what was going on there I was really getting in to a very big funk about it. I finally called Kaiser and got an appointment with a new therapist cause mine went on maternity leave. It was the best thing I could have done. After talking to her about all of my trials and tribulations and after we discussed it for a bit she told me to call my Gyn. I am so glad that I did. I found out that I need some hormones. Since then now I feel more on an even keel. Our communication skills were suffering greatly and neither one of us were communicating our needs to each other. So that is something we have started to work on and it seems to be helping. It really does help going to a neutral party and talking about things.

Then I went to see my PCP a day later and now he tells me I have a hernia. He wanted to know if I wanted to be referred to surgery to have it fixed.I told him to wait on the referral because I want to drop some more of my excess weight. I told him that I would like to lose an other 40 pounds before I even start thinking about more surgery. He said just to email him when I was ready. So all I have to lose now is another 35 cause 5 are already gone. Someone said at a meeting that they weren't doing the tummy tuckes anymore if you got a hernia. If any one knows otherwise could you let me know of a tummy tuck friendly Kaiser surgeon in the Santa Clara area.

So if that weren't enough then yesterday we get this notice from management that we have to get rid of our dog Hennessey or move within the next 7 days. I am so sad about that. We had him here for a year and they finally found out about him. Oh well at least he went just to my nephew's house. Now we have to move because I really became attached to that darn dog. We had been planning to move with in the next couple of months but now we hope to move next month. So sometimes life just kicks you in the pants.
