According to my official reminder person, it's been almost two months since I've posted any information. It seems each day flows into a week with the weeks flying by as if there were wings on each day.
I've been in physical therapy for several weeks. My therapist was pregnant but the silly baby wanted to get out so, I've had to change therapist. The new one is not as "thorough" as my former one so therapy hasn't helped as much. We've used a machine called a TENS Unit which puts electronic pulses into the muscles and causes the muscles to relax and strengthen. My former therapist used the Tens machine on my back as a general routine, but due to my pacemaker my new therapist is "hesitant" to use it. The pacer tech said it was okay and so did my heart specialists head nurse. So, the PT place has required a "written" okay and a demo by the tens unit company to be comfortable with using it. I understand why they want it in writing, but they have really had me hoping to get it all arranged. Hopefully, this will all transpire next Monday.
I saw my bariatric Dr last week. He wants all the information for the last year from all Drs, hospital, and any sort of testing that has been done. He and the other drs will evaluate the info and see what other testing needs to be done before we can set a date for my surgery. I'm hoping enough has been done so that we can finally get this surgery over with.
I will need to stay in Jacksonville for a week to have daily checks from the dr. After that I will be released to go home. I'm looking forward to losing the weight. It will have a VERY positive effect on my overall health.
My "baby girl" might have to have surgery on her foot. She has had a growth on it for some time, but it just recently got bigger. We go to see the dr next week. I pray it will not be cancer and the surgery will take care of it.
That's pretty much what has been going on in my life. Each day has it's own activities and outcomes. I'm grateful to God for all His blessings. So is Ween.
