  • Seriously considering lap band surgery...

    Saturday, July 11, 2009 | A Sad story

    Today I find myself seriously considering the lap band surgery. I saw my medical notes today, dr says I am now morbidly obese and without bariatric surgery my health will probably never improve. Said on my chart either pre-diabetic or diabetic.
    I don't know what to do. I would like to try to do the diabetic diet again, as it worked for me when I was younger. But no that I am older I don't ...

  • Hip POP Dancing!!!

    Wednesday, February 25, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    I have really been enjoying my newest toy/exercise equipment (stripper pole) and have been dancing just about every day since I got it. This is a good thing. I have improved tremendously on the pole and my strength has also really improved as has my mood. I can also spin and such almost like a PRO now. Next goal is to be able to hang upside down and spin my way down. This will take a LOT of ...

  • Not a Good day today........

    Tuesday, November 10, 2009 | A Sad story

     
    Don't really know what happened to me today but for some reason it just was not a good day.  I thought about Bobby a lot today.  Bobby and my husband Dewey.  My two soul-mates that "fate" brought us together.  When I met Dewey and Bobby, that special feeling, tingling all over feeling was present.  I just knew that these two men were ment for me. ...

  • "First's"

    Monday, November 9, 2009 | A Sad story

     
    I'm sitting here thinking of what someone just wrote........their "First" without their loving spouse.  I can remember ALL of my "first" with my husband, Dewey.  I had been married before for 23 1/2 years to my childrens dad.  Being young and having 5 children in 6 years (lost my 2nd son, due to heart problems) can be very draining on an...
