| HELLO!!!!!!! Man I am SOOOOOOOOOO sorry it's taken me SOOOOOOOO long to update. Too much going on in my "new" exciting life!!!!!! Well, not really, but I've just been working so much I haven't had time to update. Then when I want to update, Page Builder is down. Go figure!!!!!!!! I went to lunch with my friend Michelle yesterday and she kindly informed me that I need to update, so here I go...........Well I'm OFFICIALLY 100lbs down!!!!!!!!! My 6 month anniversary was March 22, 2001 and on that day, I was down 98.5lbs I really wanted to hit the 100 mark by my 6 month, but I figured it was close enough. I weighed this past Monday and I was down 100.5lbs, which puts my weight at 306.5lbs. I'm so close to 300lbs that it's killing me!!!!!!!! You think maybe I can lose another 100lbs by my year anniversary? We'll just have to wait and see :o) I also think I've FINALLY gotten the foot thing taken care of!!!!!!! I went back to my podiatrist because my foot was still killing me. I was thinking, if he tells me it's nothing again, I'm gonna tell him where to stick it. Good thing he didn't tell me it was nothing!!!!!! I went back and saw him and he took another x-ray. Come to find out I have what they call a hammer toe. It's hereditary and my grandma actually had one some 10 years back. (She also had surgery to correct it.) I've had it for a while, but it was not discovered until after surgery since I'm doing a lot more. What a hammer toe means is that my little toe does not lay straight, it's kinda turned in so that the knuckle is sticking out. That's what was rubbing and causing all the pain. So what the doc did was remove part of the knuckle that is sticking out and made it smooth again. It is suppose to take care of my problem. Now the problem is getting past all the mess and letting it heal. I know it will be worth it in the long run, but it's killing me now. I had it done 2 weeks ago this coming Saturday. I've been wearing this funky shoe. (Which you'll get to see in my 6 month pictures, as soon as I get them developed and posted.) I'm suppose to go and get my stitches out today, although I don't know if that is going to happen. I went out this past Friday night with a bunch of people from work. My "friend" Sarah got completely sloshed to the point that she could not even stand up. She ended up stepping on my toe about 4 times in her wooden heels. Needless to say I was in MAJOR pain this weekend. I just hope my doc doesn't kill me!!!!!!! I've been trying to be good and stay off of it, but I don't like just sitting around anymore. Too much to do!!!!!!!! It's weird because I almost feel like I'm back to what I was before surgery, hobbling around and stuff. I tried putting a shoe on yesterday.......NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!! I know it's called patience and as you all know, that's something I don't have a lot of :o) What else can I tell ya...........Oh, I'm going to San Francisco in August!!!!!!!!! I'm TOTALLY excited!!!!!! I'm going with some friends for my friend Jodi's 24th birthday. I've never been to California, nor have I ever seen the ocean. My life just keeps getting better and better :o) I love to travel and go to different places, but I use to hate to go because I would never be able to do a lot of walking and was always tired. Plus we'll be going to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days as well. I'm also planning on going down to Florida to see my friend Lisa (who had surgery the same day as me and looks DAMN good!!!!!!) and going to DisneyWorld!!!!!!! I'm a HUGE Mickey fan and Lisa told me as soon as I hit 250lbs, she was going to take me to see The Mouse!!!!!! Plus I've never been to Florida, so that will be exciting. I've always wanted to go, but I was too afraid I wouldn't be able to handle the heat and humidity. That hopefully will have changed. I'm anxious for summer.
