This last 5 months have been crazy, real crazy. First ended the year in horrific pain, as my back was going crazy with pain.I wound up going 3 time to the hospital. Was admitted on Feb. 7, 2014. After the hospital and a diagnosis of spinal stenois ( a narrowing of the spine, for which I required no surgery, Thank God. I was just reading of a athlete who had to have surgery for the same condition. Glad that I dodged that bullet.
I'm now in a care center awaiting a total knee replacement, without which I cannot go home.I've met all my markers except the weight loss of 35 pounds. I lost 9.1 pounds already. But, since the last the I saw my orthopedic surgeon, had gained 8.1 pounds from being on prednisone, So, I now still have 34 pounds to lose before being scheduled for surgery. So,after I lose the remaining weight, I'll be scheduled for surgery about a month or two later. So, looks like I'll be here for awhile.
Today Maribel,Emelissa and little Emmie came to visit me and brought me early birthday gifts. A matching bag, pen, journal, kwiws, strawberries and other fruits.
We had a nice visit and I was so happy.
Today, I made fruit protein shakes. I mean I have got to lose this weight and lose it fast. I made a shake for lunch and after lunch I had a granola bar and dark chocolate bar and peanuts and ice cream. So, now its 6 pm and I'm drinking my other shake. It's all kool. I'm trying and I'll get it right. God is blessing me already and I feel His blessings on me. I mean for them to bring strawberries and other fruit for me is a good sign. I divided the strawberries into my fruit bags in the freezer. So, I have more fruit to put in my shakes.
