UPDATE !




HI … So much to update! Where to start?? It has been a very busy and blessed couple months. So as most of you know I have been doing a lot of pre-op testing. I also have started a campaign to raise money for part of my surgery expenses. So I want to take a moment to update and  Thank everyone. So … Here we go.

So imagine all the medical test you can come up with….. Got it? OK Now add a few to that list….. That’s what I have been doing. SO many test, I almost thought for a while I was back in school ! Everything form blood work to two day stress test for cardiac clearance. Then more labs, then primary care annual check up and she adds more test….. OH my…. Well as reluctant and tiny bit anxious as I was, I am very very very happy to once again tell you all….. I am a Medical Unicorn! Everything is good, so good the Cardiologist suggest I go have some fun! I think he was surprised how strong my heart is even though I told him my heart was the strongest muscle I have because I use it a lot! Anyway…. It feels so great to know I continue to shock and amaze the Medical Professionals, I like proving to them all that I am Healthy despite my weight! I can pursue preventative health by taking care of myself and knowing that I do need to change some habits and other things before they become an issue but as I am right now………… I am OK, not just OK but Healthy.
So still no diabetes, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol issues,  no heart issues, all arteries clear , mammogram clear, EGD clear, good to go!
I am a Medical Unicorn! I just got a bum hip!
So that is the Medical update…. OH now they want to test me for sleep apnea, sometimes I think they feel a need to have something be an issue for me… we will see.

Anyway, Next the Go Fund Me Update!
I am completely overwhelmed and speechless at the love, encouragement and support that has happened as a result of me reaching out in this way. Those of you who know me understand my struggle with receiving and being vulnerable. If you follow this blog you know it has been a topic for me more then once! Despite my resistance to this subject,  EVERY TIME I fight my discomfort and reach out, the out pour of support floors me and reminds me just how blessed I am!
SO……. In less than 2 weeks time I have raised enough to get started!
What this means is I have enough money that I can now call and schedule my first surgery!
I am so Blessed and truly humbled by how much support I have received, I can never Thank You all enough.
So that is the update and I will let you know as things progress what is going on…. Thanks again!
