Written 23rd July 2009.

Well I've had my CT scan Tuesday of this week 21st July. On my return a letter was waiting from the hospital telling me that I had an appointment for 7th August for Transvaginal Ultrasound. OMD's. I guess that means that I wont be having my surgery until Sept. then. I've decided not to stress myself out about anymore as I'm a believer in nothing ever happens before the time and everything happens for a reason. God knows what he's doing, although I might not be able to see it yet. I'm going to relax and try and take it in my stride and put my trust in the almighty.

Anyway, I left a couple of messages with the surgeons secretary asking for the registrar to call me as I needed a couple of questions answered. Well today he called. yay!

I wanted to clarify whether the CT scan over-rides the need for the ultrasound. He said that it did not and that I do need to have the ultrasound. He also confirmed that it is more likely that my surgery will not be until Sept. at the earliest. OK well now I can go on living until them. I feel as if i've been putting my life on hold since the begining of the year. I can just get on with it - i've got some parties to attend ( most of my friends are turning 50 this year, i've already been to 2 since mine). one tomorrow, one next week and 1 in 3 weeks time. Tomorrow I have to attend my best friends brothers funeral. i'd stopped attending tai chi because I couldnt afford to pay monthly subs, and then waste it because of surgery. I'll start back again next Saturday and pay for August i think. I think I can also start curves so I'll have to pay for that as well.

I'm going to call the clinic about my hair removal and get my patch test done asap. So many things have been put on hold due to my anticipation of a surgery date. Not any more.

At my last pre-assessment appointment the registrar told me that I do not have to do a pre-surgery diet. Wow. He said that Dr Patel does not ask that of his patients as many people find it too hard to stick to and either eat badly to lose weigth quickly and then become malnurished. So they don't ask us to do that. Cool.

When Dr AJ called me at home today, he told me that my bloods came back fine. Just one of them showed that I was diabetic, which is normal as I am diabetic. lol.

What i'm looking forward to now:-

1) Continue attending all my school friends 50th celebrations up until next year for those with the late birthdays,(mostly the boys).

2) Improve on exercise regime.

3) Restart Tai Chi

4) Book test patch for laser hair removal

5) Not having facial hair anymore.!!!

6) Earn some money during the month of August.

7) WLS Surgery being a thing of the past, being Post-Op. No complications.

9) Watching the weight melt away.

10) Seeing my health improve.

11) An improved quality of life.

12) Finding it easier to support my mum who has dementia.

13) Getting fit and healthy so I can enjoy my grandaughter Dajah as she grows up.

14) Jah's blessings, continued love, guidance and protection.

So for now I just have to attend the next hospital appointment and then wait.
