The Next Step

The week got away from me and then we went to Chicago for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary.  Back to the routine today and headed to work in Cass.  I did go to the doctor on Wednesday and he continues to tell me everything looks good and that my abs feeling tight is normal.  I truly do not believe he is listening because he keeps referring to a little lypo would help if I want - that is not what I am talking about.  But at this point I am ready to take the next step, get the "tweaking" done and that really have most of this behind me.  On Thursday, August 9th I will have a short outpatient surgery to do a reduction and try to even both sides up and he said recovery is about a week.  If I have surgery on Thursday and then take the weekend to recoup I think I can get back to work on Monday or Tuesday and then just stay close to my desk.  I do not plan to take another week off from work unless something comes up.  I will continue to work out, do yoga, and try to reduce my food and actually lose about 20 pounds which would help a lot.

After watching the news since Friday morning and seeing the loss of life happen at something so simple as going to the show, I know that every morning I wake up it is a gift and no one should take it for granted or believe they are entitled to anything other than the moment.  I want to always embrace the moment, good or bad, and then journey on as long as I can. 

I am headed to Lansing on Thursday and Friday for a mandatory meeting so it will be a quick week.  Today I am going to attend the funeral of the parent of a staff member, tomorrow is a board meeting, finger prints, executive committee meeting, then meeting Brenda for dinner in Buchanan.  Wednesday I will need to go to the medical park and do some blood work for surgery.  It will be here before we know it.  

I am already wondering what my next obstacle will be?   I have several doctor's appointments in August, Dr. Patel, Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Zon.  Actually I seem to have a lot of appointments.  I won't know if I am coming or going but somedays I don't know anyway.
