And here we are.....

4 months later..... after the last post, that is. 
I have my little greenhouse, and am trying to grow herbs... going to plant more hopefully soon...


 I have recently undergone weight loss surgery, which has been a learning experience to say the least. Everything feels fine, and Jim was with me the whole time, including walking every two hours in the hospital, and making sure I get all my vitamins in, and my protein... he is definitely a good man. :)
So far, I have lost 30 pounds, and feel pretty gosh darn good about myself!


Except for one day last week, I was feeling particularly good, and not paying a bit of attention to what I was to be eating or to how fast I was to be eating it, I inhaled a hard boiled egg... it went down wonderfully, so I thought... "I'll have another..."


BIG MISTAKE.


As soon as I swallowed the last bite of the second egg, I had the most intense pain in my chest that one could imagine. Like a knife right between my breasts, and stabbing and digging my heart out....
I collapsed on the bathroom floor trying to get some relief, couldn't even force myself to vomit, although I was able to get some slight relief and I did bring a bit back up. 
I forced myself to go to work, feeling a bit better, but by the time I arrived, I was in full fledged panic mode and pulled in just in time to throw open my door and let it fly all over the parking lot. This same thing happened again when I reached my facility, and again inside the facility!while I was finishing up some charting I was doing... OMG ... lesson learned. THAT won't happen again... believe me!
