Down, Down, Down

and I don't mean my weight. I have spent the last 3 days on a trip to St. Louis where my son was evaluated for what needs to be done for his orthopedic surgery next year. After a full day of xrays and pulling and stretching the Dr. added a few nasty surprises to the already nasty mix. I have been devastated to the point I can't write about it or even think about it or I will go screaming into the street. Thank God Ronald McDonald House doesn't allow alcohol so I only stressed out on half a Mr. Pibb and 4 cookies. I stayed on-plan on travel day Tuesday but Wednesday and travel home yesterday was not stellar. I have spent the night thinking about why I started this weight loss journey and it was to get healthy so I can take care of my son next year when all of this hits. SO....I got myself up this morning and started over. I am not going to be commenting on any blogs for a couple of day, I am not feeling real positive right now don't feel I am the one to try and make people feel better. Next week we leave for vacation and I want to get my mind right to have a good time and not think ahead but enjoy the present. Take care Blog Buddies and I will see you on Monday.

    I am so sorry that you got some truly upsetting news. Medical woes (especially our loved ones suffering them) can send even the strongest to food or booze or ciggies or whatever for comfort. It's good that you stopped, assessed, and realized that your health and strength matter more than transitory (though dependable) food comforts. Just keep focusing on the solutions, the way to open a path to a good end, for you and for him. I pray that God gives the doctors and you greater insights and wisdom, so the resolution next year will be truly astounding. Or perhaps and earlier miracle. I'm always hoping for miracles...

    May grace be upon you in triple measure today and all year...

    What good insight that you're preparing yourself for what next year holds. Take some time to wrap your mind around what the doctors told you. Have a great vacation and hang in there!!!

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I can understand how it feels because my daughter had a series of terrible medical problems that required surgeries and sleepless weeks over fears for the future. i know how alone you can feel. My heart is absolutely with you ....I wish there was something useful I could do.
    Take care of yourself, and try and rest
