I called Madalyn's Mom yesterday but I don't think she is up to visitors yet - at least that is the vibe that I'm getting from her Mom but I did get an update on how she was doing and yes, she is home, so that's great.She's still having neck and back pain I guess which I'm not surprised. For me it was my neck and shoulder that were just killing me - thank god for lortab!
On Thursday, I had the wost migraine that I had since surgery. I started feeling ill at lunch and took a tylenol. My Mom surprised me at work and gave me a ride home for which I was extremely grateful since I usually walk home and was definitely not up to it. I went home and took a nap and woke up at 6:30 p.m. and still was not feeling well. Took 2 teaspoons of lortab and soaked in the tub and then felt a million times better. Thank goodness! Lortab rules! Next time I wil take the Lortab right away!!
THE SCALE MOVED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was 212 this morning! I just about did the dance of joy! Finally! That is why I refuse to get too bent out of shape when the scale doesn't move because it eventually will. I'm getting so close to ONEderland! Yay! My goal is to get there by Christmas and it is SO attainable. As I'm feeling better (when my iron levels go up) I will start to get back to exercising and I'm sure I'll do great!
Positives:
-I am now down 76 pounds!
-I have still never vomitted once
-I don't sugar dump (am now beginning to see this as a positive)
-My clothes are getting bigger
-compliments!!
Negatives:
-energy is low at the end of the day due to anemia. After dinner, the tiredness hits me
