| I created this site to help me cope with, and work through all my anxieties and fears leading up to and through my surgery. You could say it is my way of keeping a journal. Hopefully this might help anyone else interested in having this surgery. I would also like to take this time to send out a Thank You to ALL my family and my friends for being there for me. If it wasn't for all of you I wouldn't be able to make it through all this. A strong support group is the best medicine you can have. Thank You and I love all of you!! |

| Well, this is going to be my first entry into this site. Today (6/12/03) was my first appointment with Smart Dimensions. It was a 2 hour class that did alot of pre-surgical questions that could be submitted to the insurance company for approval. Also they did a session on what the procedure entails and the ins and outs of surgery ( what to expect, etc.) We were told that as of this point it looks as if surgery wasnt going to be for another few months (September) since they were booked through the summer. Well I was kinda hoping to get this done before that since the new school semester at college started about that time. Oh well maybe I might have to postpone it for another semester and just go to intersession. Yes, here was the first bad news of the surgery... if thats all the bad news I get then I cant complain. Anyway, I need to call tomorrow to schedule yet another MANDATORY class with the Doctor. This is where I can get any questions answered I may have. Then on July 15th I have another class to attend. Yeah it sounds like alot but I think in the long run if I can alleviate some of the knee and hip pain then its worth it! OK now on to the next step.... |
| This is me New Years Eve 2002 and 100+pounds overweight. My goal is to lose that weight and add years to my life. I want to be able to enjoy my grandchildren when I have them and be able to enjoy doing all the things that I can't currently do being this overweight. I am waiting for the day that I don't have all the pain I have now in my joints, especially my knees. This was a very hard decision to make and I have done alot of soul searching regarding this. I know in my heart that this is the right thing for me to do. ( It only took me 1 1/2 years to decide that...LOL ) |
