Just think it is five years out.  I am stronger, new left knee, but a few problems with lightheadedness, memory, headache, sugarlevel flucuation.  I have had multiple neck injures. I had a MRI of the neck and brain.  Tomorrow I will get my results. I have gain 10 pound back.  I am a stress eater.  I am getting back in the groove because it took too too much to get this far. I am so greatful for my pouch.  I lost 148 pounds and I don't intend to gain it back.

Praise the Lord.  I have completed this journey.  I now have completed my Master's of Education.  My knee replacement is healing up well.  I am back to walking my doggie.  He is so happy to get some exercise.  I plan on going to Savannah GA don't  know when.  Just think, I will not have to have an extension over my belly.  I will not be tired walking through the airport.  I am so excited.
I am going to see my son.  I can't wait.  I love him so.  He is my prince.  Now I have to concentrate on uncluttering my house from textbooks, magazines, and projects.  However, it was worth it.

Would you believe that this Sunday, June 20, 2010 is my third year surgiverary? PTL.  I have had another knee surgery with a knee replacement this time on January 14, 2010.  I am finally walking without a crutch or a cane.  I am getting better day by day.  School is out and I am completing my Master's on June 23rd.  It has been a real journey.  I am tired but I am excited that I am not what I use to be.  I have a new life now.  I am having fun deciding on what am I going to do next.  It is time to buy new bras again. LOL  Yes, I will figure out what I am going to do to celebrate my three years.  I am so thankful that I have lost a whole person. 

Well, the surgery from March was unsuccessful and painful.  Would you believe that I taught school on one crutch until this surgery January 20, 2010?  Praise God.  I went to the Cleveland Clinic and had surgery.  My doctor was Dr. Mark Froisom.  He is awesome.  I know that the fall in the bath tub, and the kick in the leg from a student started my problems but also I was overweight for some years putting undo pressure on the knee and leg.  However, I am just three weeks out from my knee surgery.  I am in pain but it is rehabilitation painful and brutal in which it means that it will get better.  I am so grateful.  I am coming up on my three year surgerversary June 20th.  I will have a new knee to ride my five speed bike that I purchased last year and could not ride it.  I will be able to do line dancing without pain and learn the Obama shuffle.  I will be able to take my dog on long walks without pain and without getting short-winded.  I will be able to lose my last 15 pounds or perhaps 20 more.  Don't  get me wrong, I am grateful for reaching my current set goal, I just want to do more.  I will be completing my master's this June.  Graduation here I come again four times.  I just want to learn how to live the life that God has given me and live it abundantly.  I am also going to unclutter my lower level, garage and redecorate my dining room.  I will exercise everyday to keep my weight down and to keep my knee in shape as well as to keep a positive disposition and attitude. Obestity affects our entire being our bones, organs, muscles, spine, mind, spirit and soul.

Saturday will be my two year surgiversday.  Praise God.  I have had left knee surgery.  I have fifteen more pounds to go before meeting goal.  I can't believe where the time went.  Now I have to work on walking without my one crutch.  I am working on my Master's full throttle.  Didn't have the strength, health, or energy before.   What a difference it makes to feel better.  I am still confronting with tiredness.  I am still taking my vitamins and minerals.  I am exercising too!  However, I need more energy. 

April 27, 2009, Monday was the first day to be able to drive myself to physical therapy crutches, pain and all.  I still can't walk by myself however, I am encouraged pain and all.  I will continue to work on exercises.  I went to my PCP today, Would you believe that my blood pressure was 110/79.  I used to be 140 to 150 over 90.  My weight lost has really improved my health.  Now
it 's time to improve my leg.  Just think although I fell in the tub, the excess weight that I carried for so long, the injury that I received from a student kicking me, and an auto accident has taken it toll.  However, the surgery to repair my knee, I believe will be a success.  It was a tough surgery.  But the bariatric surgery was tough too.  This too shall pass.  I am 17 lbs. from goal.  My 2nd surgiverary will be June 20th.  I just can't believe it will be two years.  Yes, I am in a size 10 to 12 dress and size 12 slacks from a size 22-24.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

I s there an end?  I am having complications with swelling, can't walk, severe pain, and I am totally exhausted. My sister  has stuck with me all the way.  What would I do without my sister.  She is great.  All I want to do is to be self sufficient.  My goal is to get in my car.  I need to take myself to physical therapy.  I have had good people to take me to therapy, doctor visits, shop for my groceries, get bags of ice for my ice machine, put out my garbage.  The doctor said that my surgery was very intensive.  I guess so.  I am black and blue.  He gave me new meds for inflammation and pain.  This is going to be a long road.  However, I can do all things through Christ who strengthes me.  I just want to walk and walk with out tilting over and pain.  This too, shall pass. I am holding down my weight..  I am 17 lbs from goal.  I am still excited about my clothes and how they fit.  I can't wait to purchase new summer clothes this year.  I am looking forward to a great summer.

I was trying to avoid surgery.  However, I fell in the bath tub and walk on the injury for a week and half.  I went to work and could not walk from my desk to the door.  Although I had gone to the doctor four days after the fall, I was misdiagnose.  I was told that I had a hemotoma.  But I had to drive myself to the emergency.  There they told me that I fractured my tibia.  I then went to the doctor the next day.  They did an mri I had torn cartiledge and rip two menesics with bone spurs.  Well, surgery here I come.  I had surgery March 26, 2009.  They did it out patient.  Today, I am struggling with pain.  I can't walk.  Two days ago my leg was so swollen, that physical therapy sent me to see if I had a blot clot.  No blood clot.  I believe that they should have taken extra precaution with me.  They did the surgery, I was in recovery, then they sent me home. I pray and hope that I do not gain any weight.  I am prednisone, ice machine, and I refuse to take narcotics.  I am taking toridol and Tylenol arthritis.  I am on a walker, and cruthes.  I was told that I would be out of work for four weeks.  I got a long way to go.  Now am told that it will take 6 to 10 weeks.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.   I cant belief that it has been one year.  I have lost 110 pounds.  I feel great.  I am off my sleep apnea machine, asthma machine, muscle relaxer, high blood pressure medicine, my ankles don't swell, I can cross my legs,  I  feel great.  However, I am working on my left knee.  Doctor says that I need a knee replacment.  However, I am taking the next option.  He inserted a liquid to cushion my knee joint yesterday.  Yes it hurt a litle, but today I am walking better.  I am so blessed.  I am wearing a medium in a Junior dress and 14-16 jeans. Oh by the way, I am wearing shorts.  I haven't worn them in 18 years.

My doctor is very pleased,  I have only thirty one pounds to go.  I will do this.
I will graduate September 27, at the Embassy.  Little red dress here I come.  It will be so exciting.  They will flash my before picture and I get the chance to walk out the new me.  I will invite my friends and family.  I just hope they will come to see me.  If not, I am happy with me.
