boy! what a day...

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

Well, I have had a day and a half so far. I don't post much, but I'm

feeling pretty out of sorts right now, and just feel the need to vent.

First of all, good news! I fed-ex'd my packet out this evening!

Wow, what an accomplishment! That, in itself, was enough to make my

day nervewracking.

This morning, my 11 year old son had to have ingrowns on both big

toes cut for the SECOND time in 7 months. Now I know that having

ingrowns taken care of may not be the most traumatic thing in the

world, but believe me, when it's your son, you feel every sensation

they do. I am so proud of him. He was so brave. He actually asked

for this appointment, he was so miserable. Hopefully the root has

been taken care of this time and it will be the last episode...

Then, right after I sent my packet out, my husband tells me he is

expecting to hear from his cardiologist tonight because they found

something on his cardiolyte stress test last week (done while I was

having fun in Durham). He had a near-fatal heart attack last October

(Mike is only 46, but has the genes for bad heart disease) but was

resuscitated on the cath table after they opened the artery. He went

on to have double bypass surgery in November and has done

beautifully, other than having to retire on disability from the Fire

Department. This was so unexpected for both of us that they found

something on the test. I immediately got furious with him, because

he waiting till AFTER I sent out the packet to tell me. He is so

determined that I have the MGB that he wouldn't let anything stop me

from mailing that packet. I don't know whether to hug him or

throttle him! Needless to say, my emotions have really been on a

roller coaster today. Where else but this list to vent?????

You guys are all wonderful. This is such a special place of love and

support.

Lara, I'm praying for you for the strength to overcome this hurdle.

There is something better waiting for you than this diet! Keep

focused!

Deb in IL, what wonderful news about your weight loss! I'm so

excited for you! 14 pounds! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA. I can't

wait till I lose my first 14 pounds! Keep up the good work! Hope

you are feeling well.

All you in the middle of the insurance desert...Keep your chins up!

God has a way of getting us what we need when we need it. But it

sure gets tough waiting for His timing!

Time for some shuteye. Yall take care, and I hope to be Durham-bound

as soon as I can get my date!
