Decisions, Decisions

Well here is the latest in my life. I went to Dr. Korn, the surgeon, yesterday. He told that I had lost 72 percent of my total excess body weight in a year which is better than average. I wish I could feel really proud of myself, but I don't. All I think is I took the easy way out. The nurse who works with Dr. Korn asked my yesterday if I would come to the support group and share my expirience. I told her that a lot of it wasn't really that good, in fact most of it was pretty rotten. She said that is why she's wants me to do it, so people will know that it isn't always a cake walk. I have thought about it a little. Gee, what do I tell these folks who are trying to improve their lives. That in the year 2007 I almost died twice, went through several humiliating procedures to prove I was really overweight enough to qualify for the surgery, when all a person had to do was look at me. The worst was going to the mental health doctor, to make sure I wasn't a nut case and wouldn't turn into one. I am a nut case I just have hidden it well most of my life. Must have fooled him too, he signed off on the paper saying I was mentally fit. And for the rest of your entire life you will take more a plethora of pills everyday, both pharmacueitcal and vitiams, minerals and such. By days end I take at least 30 pills a day. Well that's enough of being maudlin for today. In ten days I will be going home. YIPPEE. We are going to have fun, fun, fun. I am thinking maybe we should even try going to Jackson Hole for a picnic. What do you all think. Ok, so there is a story behind that statement, a fond and funny memory. I still think I and Valerie should find a piano and sing The Sweetheart Tree for everybody, it would be a real treat. We can go to the Trackside Mall and maybe I will find a beautiful swan to add to my collection. I am still thinking of places to go. I leave Boise at 8:56 pm Monday the 28th of April and get in Idaho Falls at 9:56 pm.
