OK - the doctor is trying to find meds that will work for me and will solve my problems. Although this is frequently a necessary part of my treatment - this playing with meds can really be annoying. He took me off the lasix - thinking that this might be part of the problem, even though my labs came showing no problem in that particular area. Even on a different diuretic, I have gained 6.5 pounds since Wednesday. I know I need to give my body a chance to adjust - I know that I need to be patient - but that is still hard. So, I'm just going to do what I can do - and try not to think about the rest.
But on a happy note - the lady at church who is making me the top out of the silk came up to me yesterday. She said that she wanted to make sure that she had everything measured correctly before she cut into the expensive material - so she had made me a top out of material she had at home - and wanted to see if it fit! It's beautiful! Just the style and look that I wanted - and I was so excited. I think my excitement made her day - and I know that her gift made my day! It is so nice to have so many people wanting to be a part of this.
So - I'm working on the meds - and the weight - and I'm celebrating good friends and cheerleaders. And really trying not to think about not being able to drive for two months (OK - actually, I can't drive until I have two months without an "incident" - really trying not to think about that - either having any more incidents OR a longer "no drive" time if I do have one.) Love ya'll! Oh, and look for a new picture and new measurements this week - 16 weeks out from surgery!
