NOTHING is happening! That, in my case is a good thing I guess! I'm still blissfully happy I made my decision to go ahead with my surgery and coming up to a year in maintenance now. I hover between 135-138 (even when Aunt Flo is visiting!) and I'm perfectly happy here. I wear a size small-med shirts and size 4-6 pants.
Well one thing I guess has happened.... I decided finally today that I'm waiting until early 2014 to get my PS now. *sigh*
This year has too many things happening and I need to take more time to save for this and get my head in the right place to have a good solid recovery and be able to take the time off I will need from work in my position (management). I'm reading constantly online and learning as much as I possibly can. In the coming months I'm going to start a notepad of all the things I want to make sure I know or need to know based on the experiences of the group here so that I can be as prepared as I possibly can be.
I'm bummed though. I was really thinking I'd be among the Plastics veterans by this summer but its just not in the cards for me this year and that's ok but I'm disappointed anyway. Recovery worries me alot especially after reading the recent problems some have been having on one of the boards I frequent. Although I take alot of that with a grain of salt as I know everyone is going to have a different experience anyway. I know my VSG was pretty much a breeze (except for the allergic reaction to the bandages/tape) and I was back at work 6 days post op... others needed a month or more to feel ok to go back.
Living on the coast in BC has been wonderful. It's lovely here and so different from living on the Prairies. Although, it's very weird to see so much green in the middle of winter where I'm used to seeing feet of snow and blisteringly cold temperatures. It does rain, yes... but not nearly as depressing as they've made it out to be. The sun peeks through every few days for a few hours, it rains on and off, sometimes hard, sometimes not, sometimes none. I wear a light fall waterproof coat, not a woollen cap, gloves boots, scarf, massive winter coat. I don't have to breathe into my scarf to breath warm air anymore. My asthmatic lungs thank me for this move. :)
Nowadays I'm sure noone even reads my blog since I've not updated in so long but those that remember and peek in .... HI! Thanks for coming by! I'll try to do a better job of posting at least monthly :)
