Feeling Better

Posted 02-16-2007 at 11:57 PM by wootsie73 (wootsie73's Journal)

I'm feeling much better about things today. I saw Dr. Hutson this morning and she told me she was just glad I was still alive after everything I've been through since June, and I guess she is probably right about that. She reinforced to me that I've been put through the wringer over the past several months, so I should just take it easy and try to just let my body heal for a while. I know she's right. Since Dr. Rivera's nurse called yesterday and told me my WBC's were 17, I'm trying to rest...

I Just Wondered What Next!

Posted 02-13-2007 at 06:32 PM by wootsie73 (wootsie73's Journal)

I thought a couple of weeks ago the worst had happened due to having the CT Scan and the PET Scan were bad news, but I really didn't expect it to show anything. I was totally shocked to find out I needed to have a heart cath and then 2 stents placed in my right coronary artery! I'm glad they found the blockages in my heart, but I had no idea this would keep me from having my Lap-Band surgery for a full year! I'm soooooooo depressed and I just feel like sitting aroung crying all the time. That...

A Little Better

Posted 01-29-2007 at 11:23 PM by wootsie73 (wootsie73's Journal)

Well, today is January 29th and I'm still smoke free! WHOO-HOO! It's been hard today, but that will pass. It has become more difficult with Mom smoking in the house again, but I will just have to get used to it. I can't and won't start smoking again this time. Everyone is really proud of me except Donny. He probably is, but he just tells me I shouldn't have started smoking again to begin with. A MAN, go figure. LOL

Things are going a little better in my personal life to. I'm...

Going Nuts Here

Posted 01-21-2007 at 04:14 PM by wootsie73 (wootsie73's Journal)

OK, I'm back in Amarillo finally, but things aren't as great here as I expected. I went to see Dr Hutson Monday and she increased my Byetta, but that was about it. She wanted me to see Dr Rivera because my blood pressure has been up the past few times I've been in to see her. So, I saw Dr Rivera Friday. He is making me have another CT Scan and another PET Scan before he will clear me for surgery. He's afraid my being diabetic now may have caused some problems with my stents. I sure hope not....

Life Sucks!

Posted 01-07-2007 at 12:23 AM by wootsie73 (wootsie73's Journal)

This should be a very happy day for me, because I finally saw Dr Provost yesterday and think he's gonna be great. However, my personal life is going to hell in a hand basket. First, Desiree hasn't worked but 1 day this entire schedule. She's worried about paying her rent and bills, but I'm not only don't have the money to fix it this time like I always have in the past when possible, but I wouldn't if I did. She is so irresponsible with her money all the time that it makes me sick. Shes was...
