Well. Since my last post (and I really had the best of intentions to post again, but I didn't... and soon you might see why)
From when I made my last posting, my back got much worse.
At the end of March I ended up getting admitted to Riverside Hospital for emergency surgery to repair the disc in my back. I ended up having the surgery later that week at the beginning of April. I spent 2 weeks at my parent's house recouperating and then finally moved back home towards the end of April.
I was on track to have bariatric surgery, and losing weight nicely, however, in June I re herniated the disc in my back. :(
I got depressed... quit eating like I was supposed to, etc. but in July I decided go back to my surgeon and see what we could do about my back.
He prescribed me some new pain medicine, got another MRI, and put me on a nerve medicine. Then, I went to back to the bariatric program and got on board.
Since then -> I've lost 11 pounds, and only need to lose 20 more pounds and I can have surgery. I go to physical therapy 2 times a week and can use my eliptical machine 15 minutes at a time with no problems. The pain is basically gone. It's great!
I've been really bored lately thought. Clint works from 3:30 pm until 1 or 2 am, so I have a lot of time where I'm spending it by myself. My parents even are in Alaska so I can't hang out with them even. Yes! I really just said hang out with my parents. They get back on Saturday though... so hopefully that will change. :)
I'm hoping to reconnect with some of my friends. I don't really have a lot to write considering well... I don't really do anything. I do hope to change that soon lol
