Multi-Happenings Update

It’s been a few since my last post and quite a bit has been happening!

Weight Loss Continues

As of the time of writing this post, I weigh 269.4 pounds.

My appetite has been down a little and I have started getting up and moving around much more. Right now I am up to about 2,000 steps before I get fatigue and get stomach cramps. This is from the gastroparesis more so than the kidney transplant. I would love to get below 250.

I now need to go shopping to buy all new shorts and pants.

Driving

I HAVE BEEN CLEARED TO DRIVE!!!!

It is so refreshing to be able to get around again. The challenge is to drive anywhere, but at the same time I really can’t go anywhere with large groups of people.

One thing I am doing is picking up the girls from school to take a little pressure off of Ashley. She still needs a break.

Small steps mean so much!!

ACTION!

The girls really wanted to go see “The Bad Guys.“ I wanted to get out so bad with cabin fever, and Ashley amd I decided we would wait until the last possible second to make the decision.

We had the entire theater to ourselves. The girls felt so special and we some great and much needed daddy/daughter time. CHALLENGES

Even though things are going great, I still have some challenges.

-Medication I am on causes bad insomnia.

- Medication I am on causes bad tremors in my hands. I SUCK at playing Operation now! Ha ha ha

- All of a sudden I have a really bad cataract that must be removed in addition to eye treatments.

Life is good!

FINAL THOUGHT:

This has been an unimaginable journey.

The biggest take away I have learned is that there are millions of people in the same state or worse than yourself.

Be thankful. Be true. Help others as you can.

Always remember what the most important thing in your life should be….LOVING YOURSELF.
