6 months and all is well...

Feb 21, 2009

LAST WEEK I STARTED MY 6TH MONTH AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THINGS ARE GOING GREAT.  IT IS STILL A  "JOB" TO GET IN THE FLUIDS, VITAMINS AND PROTEIN, BUT I MANAGE ALOT BETTER NOW DAYS.  I DO HAVE DAYS THAT I JUST DON'T WANT TO EAT, BUT I MAKE MYSELF DO IT.  NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE SAYING THAT!  STILL EATING STEAK, HAMBURGER RECIPES, AND PORK.  I HAVE HAD CHICKEN OUT 2 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND IT STAYED DOWN, BUT I AM JUST NOT READY TO MAKE CHICKEN DISHES JUST YET.  I DO HAVE A RECIPE I WANT TO TRY, SO MAYBE SOON.
I HAD MY LABS DONE AGAIN TO CHECK MY IRON AND IT WAS DOWN MORE.  I HAD BEEN GETTING SO TIRED BY 6PM THAT I WOULD JUST WANT TO LAY MY HEAD DOWN ON THE TABLE AT SUPPER INSTEAD OF EAT.  I WAS ONLY TAKING 1 OF MY 2 IRON PILLS, BUT NOW I AM TAKING THEM BOTH AND I CAN ALREADY FEEL A DIFFERENCE...NO LONGER WANTING TO SLEEP THROUGH SUPPER.
 LAST WEEK I HAD 2 PEOPLE I KNOW WELL NOT RECOGNIZE ME, AND IT MADE ME LAUGH AND FEEL GREAT.  THE FIRST WAS MY BEST FRIEND'S DAD.  HE PASSED BY ME AT THE STORE, I SAID HI, HE SMILED, SAID HI, AND KEPT WALKING, THEN ALMOST FELL OVER HIS OWN FEET LOOKING BACK AT ME LIKE I LOOKED FAMILIAR, BUT HE WASN'T QUITE SURE.  I HAD MY 2YR OLD GRANDSON WITH ME, AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WE HAVE CUSTODY OF THIS ONE, SO HE THOUGHT IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ME BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE SUCH A YOUNG ONE.  HE HADN'T SEEN ME IN 4 MONTHS.  WHEN MY FRIEND CALLED HIM TO ASK IF HE RAN INTO ANYONE AT THE STORE THAT DAY, HE LAUGHED AND SAID I THINK IT WAS JUDY, BUT I'M NOT SURE!  THEN ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE IS A MANAGER AT A LOCAL GROCERY.  I HAVEN'T SEEN HER AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THE SURGERY. SHE PASSED BY AND I SAID HEY HOW ARE YOU, AND SHE SMILED AND SAID THE USUAL, FINE HOW ARE YOU, LIKE SHE WAS BEING POLITE TO A CUSTOMER, AND WALKED ON BY.  I SAID HER NAME AND SHE JUMPED AND SCREAMED, OH MY GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, I DIDN'T KNOW  YOU!   I GUESS 120 POUNDS GONE WILL DO THAT FOR YA!
