we're finally making progress...

Band:
All of my pre-op testing is finished.  I had my EGD on Thursday.  Yesterday was the pre-op nutrition counseling, blood work, EKG, chest x-ray, PFT w/ arterial blood gas.  It took almost 7 hours!  They tell me that things should move pretty quickly from this point on.  I have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow afternoon and have been led to believe that I may be getting my surgery date at that appointment.  Fingers crossed!

Shout out:
Miss Vickie finally got her surgery date!  She will be banded on Monday (May 24th).  Woot!  Woot!

Mental Health:
I know it takes more than just a week for the effects of the anti-depressant to take effect, but I am feeling better these days.  I've been more motivated around the house and am actively seeking activities outside of the house.  I'm scheduled to donate blood on Friday and have signed up to volunteer at the Georgia Aquarium.  I have been invited to attend a Volunteer Information Session to attend next week.  I'm very excited about this opportunity!

I hope you do get the surgery date tomorrow! I can't wait to hear when it will happen!

Cool beans about getting out of the house! I am glad you are feeling better and I hope it continues to improve!

Yay! I'm all for moving quicker! LOL. Volunteering at the aquarium sounds like fun.

Hi Lynda, I just noticed that you changed your blog! I have been out of it lately and way behind in everyone's blogs.

I noticed that you stopped following me, I hope it wasn't something that I said to upset you! If so, let me know by my e-mail address please!
