Back in my boat!



Recommended Posts

So today I put my kayak in. I paddled through mangroves and popped out in Biscayne Bay. I floated, ate my hummus and read Dave Barry. It was heaven.

It's something I've been looking forward to all winter and felt awesome now that I'm down a few pounds. I will have to pick up a seat cushion though because ouch!! Some of my padding is apparently gone! :)post-77434-1466126355946_thumb.jpg post-77434-14661263713418_thumb.jpg

Mine isn't proper. She's ancient and but I love her. Her name is Princess Otter and we have been so many places together I can't let go. :)

Kayaking is awesome- there is something very therapeutic about bobbing around, watching the world float by. I'm pretty sure these guys were laughing at me doing absolutely nothing in their backyard. :)post-77434-14661281615092_thumb.jpg

It's all good so long as I can tote a Glock to deal with the local gators & snakes.

We have Water snakes in Oklahoma that look very much like Water moccasins. I was shore fishing and talked to guy in a float tube about it (he kept popping the snakes with his pole when they got close. He said, "only 1 in 4 can kill you." geez, I'll stay on shore here. But if I was in a better climate, that sounds like a very fun day.

That looks wonderful! I would love to get a kayak and paddle around some lakes here. For now, it's top of my list for what I plan to do on our upcoming Mexico vacation.

I had a Sig Sauer 229 fail on me with a grain of sand caught in the slide. I NEEDED that gun to work and it didn't. I haven't carried a semi auto for personal defense since that day. I now carry a Ruger LCRX in the .38 special +p variety. It is just over a pound loaded with 5 rounds. I don't need 10+ rounds.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
