Spent time with Ethan again!!

I went to the doctor today and have to have surgery. I don't have to be intubated, but I do have to be put out. I am not happy about it, but he feels I really need to do it. I will do it in May. Tomorrow I will call and find out when. It will be outpatient surgery and not a very long one. I was hoping for a surgery free year. Not to be. I am a little upset and stressed today. I tried to deal with it at the time I was feeling stressed, it didn't work to well. I did exercise 60 minutes today and that helped some. I also met my Diabetes Prevention Plan goal of losing 19 pounds. It is a 16 week goal that I accomplished in 9 weeks!! I was so excited when I stepped on the scale. I am now working on my bigger goal of the 70 total pounds as posted on my ticker. The doctor was so excited for me because on his scale I have lost 20 pounds!! Of course, that was at 9 a.m. and I weigh in at DPP at 12 p.m. I only slept 5 hours last night, so I am hungry and in pain. Hoping to sit back and put the heating pad on my back while watching a movie. I just need to finish up on here., then I can rest.

I picked up Ethan from school today and spent 3 hours with him. He is so easy to entertain!! And always so happy!! He puts a smile on my face!! I got a haircut today and it looks and feels so good!! What a great reward for reaching my first goal!
Well, I am going to say goodbye for now and remember...it is what we make it!!
