I am done, I want to rename you already! You're gonna get called Mooing or something on here. I don't know what's not taken, but we'll have to find you a better name, especially as you lose weight. How about "Upstate Girl", ala Uptown Girl???

I was going to be original and go for my name, Holly, but it's already taken. Normally I am goplay1203 on everything. This time I thought I would just change it up a bit. :)

My user name is the same as my sign on name at work. The first two letters of my last name and the first two letters of my first name. This reminds me of a game I played with some coworkers a few years back. What is your stripper name??? That would be your first pet's name + your mother's maiden name. Mine is "CoCo Woodcock". Good Lord!

LOL...mine would be Bubbles Forshey! Bubbles is pretty good for a stripper, but Forshey?

Mine is kinda weird and maybe boring. I'm a super nerdy gamer chick (which means I love video games!) and basically it was at one point where I had to make a name up for a character I created in a video game. I did some researching on google about whimsical names and historic names, etc. Discordia (spelled with an i instead of a y) is the name of a greek goddess. She was the goddess of chaos and discord, and there's supposedly some neo religious group that call themselves discordians. Now although this kind of thing I don't truly follow or anything like that, I thought the name was cool for a character in a video game that kills things.

The name sort of took off with me though because from then on for some reason I just sort of use it for log in names and screen names. I started using Y pretty early on after finding the name because Discordia was usually often taken while Discordya was not. I also sometimes use Coralynn found pretty much in the same fashion for same purposes, only the name is from some fantasy novel and isn't some historic name. I don't even recall the novels name. But alas, Coralynn is usually taken as well since it's closer to a realistic name.

I'm a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Incorporated ( the best sorority in the world!).

I love my organization. So, I decided 2 use it as my screen name. 1920 is the year we were founded.

Funny face Madison would be my stripper name so perhaps not a good screen name.

In 1998 when I moved to Alaska my friends online decided I needed a new name because the other bankers couldnt understand my star wars name. (yes I am a 50 year old, socially active, starwars freak... But don't tell...it ruins my image). We decided on igloochick but some bimbo had taken it so for everything casual online I am a form of iggychic or igloo chic. For serious stuff which could link me to work I am the name of our house.

At first, I was cons154. That was the catalog code for a class I took in college, and I use it on another website. (Cons=conservatory) Then I realized that people might think I was an ex-con and had been convicted 154 times. Sooo...

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
