148.8 lbs. Nothing else to say CORRECTION: 146.8, better but not great

I’ve started physical therapy for the first time in 8 years. I didn’t want to but Pete thought it would be a good idea because that way I could get a new wheelchair covered by insurance. I agreed, since my last wheelchair prescribed for me is 30 years old, (still in good shape). I am […]

there’s something wrong with me…… I say this because for the past 2 to 3 weeks I’ve been burying my brain playing Mahjong for hours at a time so I don’t have to deal with my frustration. Ever since I cannot download my photos from my iphone into my laptop, I have neglected writing new […]

This morning I had my followup appointment. I haven’t been sleeping well, (what else is new).

This month I weighed in a 143 lbs. even. I was hoping it would be less, being that I went an entire week living on soup and oatmeal. I felt it in my body and the way my clothes fit that I didn’t lose anything.

I have figured out how to bypass inserting pictures on my laptop by posting on my iPad where the pictures already are. I hope this works. Here are the before and after pictures I needed to post. My eyes are a lot more open, chin, neck and cheeks much smoother. I’m very happy with the […]
