Well....Hmmm.....I don't know....

So it's been a week out, and the scales have definitely been kind! :)

It's been an interesting week. But let me start at the beginning.

Day 1: Got to the hospital and did all the rigamoral (how do you spell THAT?). Just while I was in pre-op, which wasn't very long, I think I peed about 5 times. Then my absolutely amazing looking doctor came in and took me away! But our getaway wasn't how I usually imagined it! Hahaha! Just kidding! It was very interesting to be wheeled in to the room. IT WAS FREEZING! But they got some heated blankets on me really quickly, and that felt so good! Then I recognized the assistant surgeon. This is how our conversation played out:

Me: Hey I remember you!
Her: No response
Me: ........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The next thing I remembered was waking up. My back hurt so bad! But they gave me some ice chips, which felt really good in my incredibly dry mouth. I was in and out of sleep for a while, but I do remember talking to the nurse guy. I think I said something like, "You probably hear the craziest things from people, huh?" and "This is a random question, but do you like working here?" I think my comments were added to the Crazy Things People Say list for that guy. But he was nice about it and totally responded to my questions! Poor thing!

Then they wheeled me to my room, and I slept longer. I was lucky enough to have Mom and Dad, Emily and Graydon, Maggie, Maurie, Stephanie, and Krista come visit me in the hospital. Their visits were greatly appreciated!

Well, I'm falling asleep. I'm going to have to write more later. Bye! Please comment!

A New Beginning

Hey guys! I just felt like I needed a change...a different look for my upcoming journey.

I'm sure most of you know, but on Thursday, January 22nd, 2009, I will be going under the knife. I am having the LapBand surgery. This will change my life, and it will bring me closer to my ultimate goal: to be a wife and mother in Zion.

So, I invite you to go along on this journey with me. Come along!
