Stir Crazy

Wednesday, April 11th 2007

Ok, it's been a week and a day since I had surgery. My pre-surgery schedule consisted of working a full-time job, a parttime job, and running a few home-based businesses and managing a family. Needless to say, "time" isn't something that I'm used to having. Now, all I have is time and pain. These two things do not go well together. Not that anything goes well with pain... I'm going stir crazy. At least the weather is beautiful today!

Wishing you all well,

Jackie...

Brrrr .... How did it get so cold??

Saturday, April 7th 2007

Ok, I know it's Austin, TX and if you just wait around a few minutes the weather will change, BUT it's really cold this morning. It was in the mid 80's the other day and this morning it's a whopping 36 with the wind chill making it feel like 31 and it's raining. YUCK. I am glad that I don't have to get out of the house today. I was hoping to make a trip to the store, but I think I can put it off another day. My son is a carryout at a local grocery store and he has to work today... all the m...

Recuperation

Friday, April 6th 2007

Good Morning,

Thanks for all the prayers and support. The surgery went fine. I am at home recuperating. Just in case you want to know, 1 lb 10 oz of skin removed from 1 thigh and 1 lb 8 oz from the other. That's a smidgin over 3 lbs. I had my follow up with the doc yesterday. The thighs are beautiful. I've lost the sharpei puppy look! This recovery is rough. I did buy a cool treadmill from HSN yesterday. Recuperation can be hard on the pocket book!

Surgery Time

Tuesday, April 3rd 2007

Well, I'm off to have round 3 of my skin removal surgeries. Today is all about the thighs! I'm incredibly nervous, but God is in control and I have lots of folks praying! I don't anticipate that I'll be on the computer for a few days; so, I didn't want anyone to file a missing person's report :) Y'all keep up the good work, don't eat any rocks and if you're reading this, you can pray too :)

Take care,

Jackie...

What's your goal?

Monday, April 2nd 2007

Good Morning! I can't tell you how many times I've been asked this question... each time with a different answer. In September 2006, I bought a pair of jeans and labeled these my "goal jeans". I decided that no matter what the weight, when I was able to wear those jeans (in public), I would be at my goal. Beginning in December, I put those jeans on every Saturday. They started out going just above my knees.. and eventually worked up to going over my thighs and then my hips. I qui...
