knee replacement and alone-ness

Aug 08, 2009

I should be getting my surgery date next week. I have no one here now. I have no friends as I have been basically a shut-in,except for dragging myself to work,and going through one illness to the next one.
My Pookie will be alone,and I feel badly for this. I could no longer bend to my daughter as she  became worse and so disrespectful. She has many lessons to learn.
Anyway,I shall leave Pookie's food in a feeder,and many bowls of water. If I am gone too long,I will have to ask the apartment manager to check on her. She has pads and a special place to go,but she will probably be so mad that I will have messes.
I hate leaving my baby alone,she is my best friend. I pray to all benevolent forces to get me in and out,for my baby.
I will tell my brother who lives in New Mexico,if I die,to ask the manager to take my dear Pookie,and I am leaving him plenty of money to take care of her,my insurance policy...smile.
If I get permanent disability,which I should get because I will never be well again,I will move to New Mexico,and be with my brother,his family and friends.
My daughter has cost me so much,including my last marriage,which I am happy to not be in.
I always placed her first,but it was for my grandchildren,she has used this on me for years,plucking me dry.
She has never had a job for over 9 months in her entire life. They say she is bi-polar,I say she is evil.
Oh,I have lost 317 pounds.

I was always fat,however,about 6 years ago,I had to go on massive steroids to live and I got way to fat to exercise or move.
I am grateful for the gift of WLS. It is a start,but one has to do the work.

My Disease...

Jun 13, 2007

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that affects the trigeminal nerve; it is characterized by a sudden, severe, electric shock-like or stabbing pain typically felt on one side of the jaw or cheek. The disorder is more common in women than in men and rarely affects anyone younger than 50. The attacks of pain, which generally last several seconds and may be repeated one after the other, may be triggered by talking, brushing teeth, touching the face, chewing, or swallowing. The attacks may come and go throughout the day and last for days, weeks, or months at a time, and then disappear for months or years

Pain

Jun 08, 2007

Well,I am back to the pain doctor on 6/13. Pain has subsided,but is still there, it has become a part of me now. I am up to 2700mg on my med, since the highest I can go is 2800, I guess I am maxed out. Other than accepting that the pain will never totally go away, and wearing pain patch on my face, things are good, I am happy, and look forward to going back to work soon. Olivia (daughter), is having wls on Monday, I am so excited for her. I ask God to pray for my distracters, and to help me heal.
I waver between a lost of 165-168...LOL. Do I really care?? I think life is going to get better, and I admit I don't want to hear anything but cheer and butterflies, there is enough reality in living for me. Blessed be...oh next, I have to go and make sure there is not a tumor in my head...LOL.
God bless us, everyone!


I OVER ATE TODAY

Jun 06, 2007

2AM In the morning, I sat, and started grazing. There is no bad food in the house, yet, it is all bad if you make it that way. I ate until I felt as big and bloated as I could be, erupting in burps and praying not to throw up. I fell asleep in my chair, and finally made it upstairs to bed eventually. I posted on the over fifties forum, and my wonderful, beautiful ladies came to my rescue. Thank you ladies. Annette prompted me to post, threatening to drag me by the ankles if I could not walk through this journey. It made me laugh. The OFF is my safe, warm place.

You can't change yesterday but you can change today. Tell me, "WHAT ARE YOU EATING TODAY?" 

You have figured out some of the reasons you strayed, now get back on course and continue to follow your plan. Here's my hand, I'll help you along. It's going to be okay.

 Do you want me to drag you by the ankle on this bumpy journey? There are lots of bumps in the road so you might rather walk arm in arm with me.
 Annette   Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today
