    Wednesday, BIG day.
    They are removing all my excess colon tissue. I am not looking forward to this at all. I'm half way through my prep, which is a trial in itself. My body just doesn't do well with laxatives. It knows it doesn't NEED them so up they come.
    All I can say is it's a good job one of my bathrooms has a loo (toilet) right next to the bathtub. I can empty both ends at once...

  • I am just the queen of bad luck, bad days, bad news, bad bad bad I guess. Things are just not going well for me. Had my appointment with the neurologist today. I see him about every 6 months or so for my tremors. They have been getting worse and worse. Which then causes me to have more anxiety and then slight panic attacks because I get so upset. Well lately, I have been having a lot of issues wi...

  • Nervous

    Monday, June 22, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I am so nervous about getting approved for Gastric Bypass Surgery! I know i meet all the requirements, but until I get the letter or call saying I am approved I am going to be on the edge of my seat! I guess I always think the worst and have this idea that nothing ever goes right for me, which of course is making this process so much harder. 
    All I imagine is getting denied and knowing how aw...

    Tuesday, August 4, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I just woke up from a dream that made me anxious.
    My hubby left me for someone he worked with. And married her not very long after us splitting up. My mother in law was in on it and everything. I was the last to find out.
    I was so heartbroken. :(
    Feeling down.
