I don't know where to start! Life is different with Tabitha living here. She is a real sweet girl and isn't here very much and when she is, we really enjoy her!
This last week was a whirlwind with Dr. appts, seeing Karen and the colonoscopy. Glad that is over! I think it was the worse one ever! Long story short, the way the Dr. ordered the prep didn't fully clean me out and told my husband that! The nodule is still there, he told Mark he did a stool test for an infection and there were some erosions. We won't know anything for 2-4 weeks! I'm worried sick about this nodule!!!! Pray for me!!!!
I did get a good report from the Cardiologist! They did a ultra sound and a echo-cardiogram and the heart is smaller than it was in April. It was beating strong, not skipping a beat and the vessels looked to be open! He explained to me the type of congestive heart failure I do have and he assured me that it is fully reversible! He said the heart muscle was thick. He told me if I keep doing everything he says to that all the damage done to my heart and no one would be ever to tell that I was ever obese! I gave him a high 5 and told him I was ready to get it done! I'm so pumped about this!!! He was also shocked that my weight was down. Funny thing he asked me how I was doing it because he wanted to lose a few lbs and was having a hard time with it.
It was great getting to see Karen even though it was lunch with the family. So, we didn't get to do any girl talking but at least we saw each other! She will be coming back in September because he son is getting married so hopefully we will get a few days in. I sure hope so anyway.
It was a tough decision getting rid of the chef and last week was so crazy I ate out more than I should have and the fluid has been horrible! Today I'm making chicken salad and tuna salad for lunch, egg muffins for breakfasts. I bought a low carb cookbook and I'm making a Mozzerella Meatloaf and some BBQ Country Style ribs. I'll just grill some chicken and bake some fish for fill in's. I see the Weight Dr. this Tuesday and I hope we can figure out how to get me back on track. I really just want to do low-carb or Chris Powell's carb cycling as I believe it will achieve the same results. I have lots of questions for her. Since the candy bar I have struggled!!!!
How are all of you doing? Leave me a comment. It encourages me!
I have a dental appointment on Monday and I see the other cardiologist on Wednesday. The A-Fib medicine is working!!!! Yea! Oh!!!! Another thing the main cardiologist said to me was I can get off this A-Fib medicine because it can go away with healing and strengthening my heart! How cool is that?
The gym should open next Monday and I'm excited about getting that going once again! I really hope and pray that they can help me get my strength and body back! I know all of this is 80% nutrition so...speaking of which I need to get my salads put together!
I'll be back tomorrow!
