Still going strong!

I am plugging away at life and getting stronger every day.  Love it!!  I love being able to go to work and visit people and have a conversation that isn't focused on the fact that I look like death. 

I had my annual physical late Friday and was told not to do sit ups or lift heavy objects.  Why?  Because I have been sliced too many times and I am at a huge risk for hernias.  Good to know.  No one had told me that.  She said she sees it all the time and I'm thinking it's because people don't know.  All the doctors and nurses that I have had and no one mentioned that. 

I made a trip to WI last weekend to visit my family.  It was good to see them and be healthy enough to do it.  It was a good weekend.  Rylee went with me.  We ate greasy pizza, chips and candy and I survived!!  

I still get tired a lot.  We got home Sunday and I was in bed and out by 8:15.  Slept all night and then last night was back in bed and out around 8:30.  Slept all night again. I was wiped out. 

Sadly, I don't have much to report on, at least health wise.  Everything seems to be getting back to normal.   My feet have stopped swelling, bowels are working (although gas pains are killer!), hair seems to be falling out at a much lower rate and it seems to be growing.  I an holding steady at 160 lbs.  I'm ok with that.  I would like to drop some more weight but I want to do it the right way and am glad I was able to put some back on after being so dehydrated. 

Still trying to catch up on things that got put on the back burner for so long.  So if you are expecting a call or a card, hold tight, I'm still playing catch up.
