Pneumonia

So ever since I got really dehydrated a couple of weeks ago, it seems I just can't bounce back. I've been feeling really tired. Then a couple days ago I started getting what I though was a cold. Turned out to be pneumonia instead. I've been running a fever, coughing, & having trouble breathing. Tony took me to the ER & they gave a a few breathing treatments & some antibiotics. As of right now I feel like shit. I go back to my family doc today to get my stitches out. 

No longer holy moly

Went to the doc today & took 5 moles off. I'm no longer  holy moly lol. It's very important to check your skin & tell your doc if you notice any differences. Several of mine were just in bad spots but one was questionable. My husbands mom pasted away from melanoma cancer that started as a mole.  It doesn't take a minute once a month or so & just look them over. 

For the next few days I'm gonna look like bride of Frankenstein but after I think my face & chest will be very pretty again. 

 

Prepping weekend

The hubby & I make custom paracord bracelets. We do a couple of shows a year & sell at several local stores. This past weekend we had a long one. 3 days. I kept thinking about how the next time they see me I'm gonna be so much smaller and healthier. Some preppers frown upon hAving WLS. Heck being an overweight survivalist to some is a big nada. But then you find a lot that really care. They want you to succeed so you can do better. I haven't told but a few prepping friends but most were very supportive. 

Arm flab

Been really working on my arm flab. Hopefully one day I can get rid of these bat wings. Here are some of the exercises I've been doing. 

DRINK YOUR WATER

So everything has been going great. Been swimming every other day, eating right, taking my vitamins, & not drinking soda or caffeine. Went for my 3rd MD visit & I've lost another 19 pounds. Woohoo. I've been working really hard & it's really paying off. 

Yesterday however I learned a valuable lesson though. After my MD visit I had called my family doc to make an appointment to have some labs done. All was good till I was checking out. All of a sudden I got really light headed & everything started spinning. I ended up passing out as they got me to a chair. My doc said I was dehydrated. She sent me to the ER for some fluids. I was there forever it seamed. But they finally let me go home. I honestly thought I was drinking enough. But apparently I wasn't. So from now on I'm gonna keep water with me at all times.  Lesson learned.  

Gym

Yesterday the hubby and I got a gym membership. I love to swim & it's something I can do without having to worry about falling. I can't wait to get started. <><

Sleeping with my mask

Yesterday I got my sleep apnea mask. They were really nice & showed me how to wear & care for it appropriately. It's kinda weird getting used to it. I usually lay on my side or stomach. With the mask on its a little awkward. I have to watch or I might push it up & cause the air to leak. So far so good though. Not near as bad as I thought it would be.
