I got nothing

Yup you heard me I got nothing to talk about. I could sit here and ramble about nothing but I'm sure none of you care.

I'll save you the boredom.

Doc Appointment

My doc appointment was uneventful, I weighed about the same as my last visit, everything was fine. I had blood work done again. And paperwork filled out for my cpap company for prescription renewal and the last several months of my visits faxed over to the surgeon. I have that class in April I haven't gotten the date on it yet, then everything will be sent off for approval. Man what a long and tedious process!

In other news, going no-poo has turned my hair into a curl factory! I've lost a few inches in length because it is all curling up. I must admit I kinda missed the curls. I hated them when I was younger, but they've been gone for so long I was kinda missing them. I do notice tho when I don't use the baking soda rinse in the shower, it takes a lot longer for my hair to dry, like hours! But it doesn't feel gross, just different. I'm still in over production of oils, but that should tame down soon. The amount of hair I was loosing each day has slowed down a lot! My hair doesn't stink like I thought it would. Now mind you hubby hates the smell of it after doing a baking soda rinse, he says it smells like straight baking soda, maybe I'm using to much. I'll adjust it hopefully eventually I won't even need the baking soda rinse.

That's all folx

My Day

Woke up late this morning, had my coffee and washed my laundry while I read my morning news-feed on Facecrack.

Hubby had an afternoon doc appointment because he hasn't been feeling well lately and has had no energy. I went with him to help him remember what all he needed to discuss with the doctor. Mainly to make sure that he told him about his horrible moods. I think they have a lot to do with him not sleeping well. Takes him till 4 or 5 am to fall asleep after getting home at 1 am. Then he sleeps so lightly that a mouse fart in the next room will wake him up. Then he is pissy all day and to be honest I just wanna ring his skinny little neck!

Anyway the doctor put him back on his mood pills and another mood pill at night that is supposed to also help him sleep. Lord I hope this works! I loved him immensely on mood pills a few years ago, I didn't stop loving him, I just don't like him very much right now. How can you like an asshole???

And THEN.... I picked up my grand daughter, then went and picked her mother up (daughter number 3) and took them to the grocery store. I took daughter #3 home, then took my grand daughter home. Came all the way back home and picked up daughter #4 and both my grandsons and took them to the grocery store and picked up hubby's prescriptions while I was there. Whheeew! By this time I am exhausted and STARVING! Luckily daughter #4 cooked dinner for all of us, I love her so much! It was stuffed shells YUM! Maybe I will share her recipe in another post on another day I'm to damn tired to type it up today!

The best part of the day? It's my Hailea's birthday, that would be granddaughter #1, and Wyatt grandson #3 cut his first tooth today! Bout time he is almost 10 months old.

Anyway time to relax and maybe watch last nights episode of "The Walking Dead"

Later Creepers!

Yup this is me

No its not a full body shot, but you can definitely see how big I am in this pic. In a years time I'm hoping to be half this size. I have my last weigh in check up this week on the 25th. I won't be doing the Begin class this month, I'll have to wait until next months class. That is the last thing the surgeon's office needs to send the request to the insurance company.

If anyone out there is reading that has done this, I'd love to hear your story. Diet you follow, your experience, how you felt after surgery, just anything! If you've blogged or made a YouTube channel following your progress please leave a link in the comments, I would love to check it out.

I've had no luck finding an affordable personal trainer, so I'm going to check out planet fitness next week and see if I feel it will be a comfortable fit for me. I know this is going to take work, that it isn't a miracle cure, it is a tool. A lot of changes will be required for this to work. 

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Surgery is a drastic measure and I've had a friend die from this surgery. Granted that was years ago and so many advances have been made since then. But still it isn't without a lot of risk. My main fear tho is failure, not death... just plain and simple failure. If I fail I let everyone down from family, friends but most of all myself. As it gets closer I worry even more. I've failed at this so many times already without surgery. I would much rather not have to go threw surgery. But this can't be the end of my story, I cannot die this large and have that be how I'm remembered. I'd rather die trying than to live like this anymore, then at least I gave it all I had.

Anyway if you have a story to share please do, or a recipe site for after surgery share that too!

Till next time ya weirdo's!

BFF Time

Slept most of the day, just feeling tired lately. Then went and spent some much needed BFF time with my BFF and BFFH. Ahhhh I needed that!

Repairmen, Oxygen guy and general nothingness

My brand new fridge is on the fritz, so the repairman was out today, a part is out he has to order it and it won't be in till around Monday, bleh. Then the guy from the cpap company I use for my machine and supplies came out today to check my oxygen concentrator and left me some supplies for that, new hoses and what not. Then I paid bills, did a water change on my fish tank cause I was a bit worried. My grandson woke up in the middle of the night and decided to put his hands all down in the tank and clean the tanks with windex. I wasn't sure he didn't get any in the tanks and my fish were acting a bit weird so I went ahead and did at least a 40% water change. I think I'm gonna have to start doing a water change twice a week anyway due to the amount of fish I have in my 55g tank. THEN it was off to walmart and I just got home and grabbed me some ravioli's and nuked them, then decided to bore yall to death with the details of my day. To hell with punctuation and paragraphs I just blurt it all out there. NOW I'm off to see the puppies that are now 4 weeks old get their first bath cause they STINK!
Till next time creepers....

No Poo

I still haven't shampoo'd my hair, not sure how many days its been I know more than a week if I'm not mistaken. My hair is clean tho, I've been running a rinse of baking soda and water threw it when I shower and it comes out squeaky clean. And my hair loss is down to a minimum now. My hair is also getting its natural curl back. It's still weird and while I was showering today thinking about nothing I almost picked up the bottle of shampoo out of habit.

Anyway I'm off, I just not in  a bloggin mood today.

Bye creepers...

Busy Weekend

I had a very busy weekend and got distracted from making my daily blog posts. I had grandkids all weekend, we were going to the park and pet stores and fixing them their own fish tanks. So it was a very full, fun but tiring weekend. Back to blogging tonight ya weirdo's!

Bored

I'm really bored tonight, not much going on. Just the waiting game till 1 am when hubby gets off work.
As for this "no poo" thing, my hair feels so gross, I'm about to go do a baking soda rinse threw it and see if it feels any better. So if anyone knows any tricks to get threw the first part of the yuckiness let me know cause ya I'm not feeling this at all! But I'm determined to see this threw to the end and see if this really works for getting healthier hair.
Till tomorrow...

Weirdo

Ok I still don't have anything to say to you weirdo's! Nuthin! I'm in a weird mood and I don't even care, you are all crazy for coming here everyday and reading about nothing, kinda creepy to! Creepy Weirdo Stalkers is what you are!
But I luv every damn last one of ya, keep reading :)

Oh, ya, I quit washing my hair like 3 days ago, I'm going "no poo" yep I feel kinda yucky, but they say it will get better once your hair stops freaking out. So for now I'm dirty greasy head, but not a poo head!

Later weirdo's....

Yup

I know I didn't blog yesterday, by the time I thought about it I was already in bed and I was tired and wasn't getting out of bed to do it. So longer post later. I'm out the door gotta run my daughter around town on errands and appointments.

Till later....

Sick Day

I've beens sick today so no blog.

My Day

All I've done today is clean this kitchen and made a pork roast that I'm about to turn into pulled pork BBQ. I've done nothing else! And it was great :)

Till tomorrow...

Family Stuff

This is my brother Bud, he is in town right now. He is a truck driver and only comes home for a few days once every 6 months. I took this pic yesterday.

Then I also had this little munchkin yesterday, She's such a little goofball.

Took this picture from my daughter Amanda's back porch.

That's all folx...

Exhausted

Its been a long and busy day, I got up way to early and was on the go for most of the day. So this is all ya git for the day. I'm going to bed :)

Goodnight

Almost There!

I got another phone call from Dr Galloway's office yesterday to update me on what is left that needs to be done. On the 24th I go to take a 2 hour class called Begin Class, near Dr Galloway's office, when I leave there she said bring by the certificate from that class and my $150 co-pay for the surgery. The very next day I have my last appointment with Dr Sherman at that appointment I get him to fax over my Oct-March records to Dr Galloway and she will get everything together to submit to the insurance company. She said NOTHING about seeing a psychiatrist which I was told would be one thing I would have to do for approval. Guess we shall see.

So I don't know how long it takes after submitting this to the insurance to get the approval, but it doesn't sound like by the way Heather (Dr Galloway's coordinator) talks. So I am hoping that I will have a date for surgery sometime in April.

Nervous but happy....

Surgery Update

So I got a phone call from the cardiologist office, I am cleared for surgery. It was exciting to hear the nurse explain how great everything looked in my ultrasound, working perfectly! Then I saw the vascular surgeon and got that settled they will put in a filter to stop blood clots in my main artery. They will go up threw the groin area in my leg all the way to just above my belly button and install the filter. Kind of scary that this will be something that stays in my body permanently.

Anyway my next step is to call Dr Galloway and find out what I need to do next or what they need to schedule next. Because at this point I have 1 appt with my regular doctor on the 25th of this month and thats the last scheduled pre-op checkup with him. All 7 visits with him will be complete! They say that is the hardest part to accomplish because you have to go once a month and always in consecutive months, if you miss a calendar month you have to start over and your last appointment has to be after or on the day of the month as your first, in my case that was the 13th.... so going on the 25th is fine.

I'm getting there! It has been a LONG process since my first visit with Dr Galloway. But it will be so worth it. I know I still am supposed to be scheduled to see a psychiatrist and I think take 3 classes? Before they schedule my surgery. I'll find out when I talk to them today.

Later...

Till tomorrow..

Saving my post for tomorrow, its been a long emotional day and I am just drained, but I have news, you will have to wait to read about. Till then

Driftwood Hunting

I had grand daughter Adlen after she got out of church this morning and we went on a hunt for driftwood, shells and rocks for the fish tank. We went down to Bayou la Batre to the state docks. We found a few peices of driftwood, but not much else. It was fun tho. Here's some pictures I took while we were there.

Stay off this seagulls stump, its private property.

LOVE this last one of Adlen

Came home and cooked corned beef and cabbage, Adlen tasted it and said it was good and gave me a high five for it, then when it was time to sit down and eat she refused to eat it! Weird kid. Gotta love her.

She is at her dad's and its time for me to relax before the week begins again.
