Sushi's health certainly has derailed any anniversary plans...tomorrow is our 40th.

I will get through this, too.

I hope all have a good Monday...I'll get back in form again. Just not possible now...

I love and appreciate each of you...thank you for your kind words. They are deeply appreciated.

We had a miracle this morning. Our friend woke up' date=' completely with it and able to move all her parts. Drs were sure she would have severe brain damage. She wanted to know how she ended up in the hospital and when could she come home. Even her Drs said "it's a miracle".

He husband saved her life by applying CPR.

Thank you for all your prayers, they worked![/quote']

That is wonderful! I just got chills!!

Hi everyone...

Just a fast check in' date=' a hi and bye...

We had to leave Sushi at the hospital this morning. Her prognosis is poor. We just called for an update, and she has required oxygen all day. Tomorrow we will likely have an extremely difficult decision to make...

Sushi is 13 years old now. She has had a good life. When I saw her for the first time, it was instant love at first sight. I can't even say that about Jack, but I won't be telling him that...

We just spoke with Seth via FaceTime. Even he said that he never met any other dog with the sweet dispossession Sushi has always had.

I'm going to miss her so much...:([/quote']

I'm so sorry. My Kasey was put down 2 years ago and I still can't think about her without crying. They give us so much more than we ever can give them! Big hug to you all!

Good Evening all...

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers today! What a day this has been...

Jack woke me up this morning around 8:30...he said Sushi had a good night, and the vet did not want to give up on her yet. All I could think if was that 9 hours earlier I spoke with the vet and was told she was still in critical condition.

God is good, and the power of prayer is beyond amazing!

We were asked to come over to the vet hospital...rushed through Breakfast, no showers, and off to Boone to see Sushi. She was still in guarded condition, the vet asked for another 6-8 hours to give her 2 additional IV doses of medication.

Sorry for choppy post...iPad has a mind of it's own...

Sushi looked a thousand percent better than when we left her at the hospital...

As it was our anniversary, we did go over to Blowing Rock to one of our favorite pubs for lunch, and then went looking for winter items which you just don't see in Florida. Successful searches for everything.

When we returned to the vet hospital, Sushi was breathing much better than in the morning. We know that her medication will be expensive, and we are only buying some time, but we want to give her as many quality days as we are able...

She is now resting, breathing better, and seemingly happy to be home with her canine and human family. We are happy she is here.

All in all, not what we planned for today, but so happy it all happened as it did!

As for celebrating our anniversary, it would not be the first time we postponed plans for other reasons...

Thank you all for for your positive energy, prayers, and emotional support.

My heart is very happy...Janet, Diane, Terri, Dawn, Nicole, Dee, and I'm drawing a blank for your real name Mini..(please forgive me and my addled brain).you all are a major part of my happiness!

Thank you all...I promise to be back to my better form in a day or two.

Big hugs all around in a group hug.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
