Thanks! I think we all have these days, these moments when everything just seems to fall apart. Especially when we try SOOOO hard to keep it together, keep ourselves on point. When my husband comes home from work, everything kinda goes to the wind, and things (especially my plan for the day) goes out the window. I forget to do this, do that, take this, eat that, and everything is just kittiwampas. By the end of the day I'm a mess, I've forgotten to take meds, Vitamins.....and then I get upset, more from NOT being in control than anything. But it's not HIS fault, it's mine. I'm still so new to this way of living, of eating, of SURVIVING the day. I need to turn this madness around.

It is because we are so impulsive about his days off, and we never know what may interject itself into our day (he IS a cop), so we never know how the day is to go. Drives me nuts, sometimes. He has to retire in 4 years, and I'm looking forward to that! WHAT IS A NORMAL LIFE???! I so look forward to checking this site everyday, you all help ME soooo much, you have NO idea!!! Thank YOU for YOUR support!

I feel that chaos with spouse and kids. Fibromyalgia brain fog doesn't help. Thank you for supporting your husband. Not easy to have a loved one in harms way every day. Thank your husband for protecting the community. It's stressful getting used to life after surgery. We'll all get there together.

And thank YOU for the thanks! It certainly isn't something he or I hear much, especially these days where cops are now the "bad" guys. He loves his work, and wouldn't do anything else, and most of the cops we know feel the same.

I also have fibro - had it for years. Doesn't help having it alongside everything else. It sure seems to me that those of us that have it, also have so many other issues, as well. And I think someday there will be a revelation as to how they are all connected. Long after I'm gone, I suppose!

But today was a good day, lots of gardening, husband home for the day, able to get the doctor's appointment for tomorrow, SUNSHINE!!!!! Need I say more?! Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow!

Being a sweet tooth queen. I just had to find healthy sweet treats to make for myself.I made froen yogurt with raisins,almonds,and trail mix. I also will add a bit of honey to sweeten it a little. My hardest times is of course when it is PMS time, ugh. It seems that it has gotten worse since this surgery and plus my age too, I believe. I was thinking about getting sf cake mix so that when my family have the real deal, I can enjoy my sf slice. I enjoyed baked apples and baked bananas with my yogurts too. The baked bananas are the bomb! You have to try it.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
