Just went out to Water the shrubs. It's so hot I almost soaked myself with the hose in the front yard. I really miss chugging icy cold water. : (

I miss chugging water more than anything. Who knew. It was so much easier to drink enough when I could gulp down half a bottle.

My stricture is still giving me trouble. I haven't been able to take in any fluids without throwing them up for almost 6 days. I have on the other hand been getting IV fluids every couple of days, but I am miserable. Yesterday I had my esophagus dilated again and injected with steroids and got absolutely no relief for the 1st time. Called my doctor am d be said it's so inflamed he's going to have to throw in the towel and finally put in a stent. Apparently they worry about them migrating and putting a hole in the esophagus. I have never been worried about any operation but this worries me. I think I'm mostly worried about the discomfort.

I didn't even think of having a Popsicle. That would have totally hit the spot. That's going to be my snack after I Water the shrubs again tomorrow. This heat is a killer.

Awe! Thanks! I'm sure combed hair in the 2nd pic does help a bit! haha my fiancé snuck that picture of me a few days before surgery. I beggggggged him to delete it and he (lied!) and said he did! He actually saved it though to show me when he thought I would appreciate it and I truly did! I was so excited when he told me he still had it! I great pic to look at when I don't feel like hitting up the gym! Lol

Sometime in 2015... Because #1 I want to have all of my weight gone and #2 I have to graduate nursing school first or I'll lose my financial aid when they calculate his salary in as well. We aren't in a rush though! We enjoy our life together already (though truth be told, we would both love to run out and get married tomorrow... He's VERY anxious an excited!) lol
