15:30 min/mil...yes that is a far cry from my 10:30 before surgery...but we are getting close.
Okay...got a date. AUGUST 7! That is when I can start running. Of course I am supposed to take it slowly...but I get to run. I had to really resist the urge to run tonight since I was walking on my own. However, I was a good girl and only walked. It was nice to finally sweat a little.
On another note I think DH got the job. He actually had 2 interviews today but we should know about the one tomorrow. Sounds very likely. The guy he interviewed just had to clear it with his boss and then will call DH with the start date tomorrow. PLEASE OH PLEASE!!!! If he gets this job I get the girls done sooner!!! It will still be at least a year but it is better than the 2 that I am expecting!

Got a fill!
So I can't really report too much on the fill because I have been on liquids for the last 2 days. For the first time in a long time though it was not painful. Due to the TT, the scar tissue that was sitting on top of the port was moved and we got the needle in on the first try! YEAH. The last time I had to get an unfill we bent a needle. Yes that was VERY painful.
I only got 1cc because 1.4cc was too much. Mine are done under fluoro and we could see how slowly the barium was going through. Besides I told her she HAD to be conservative because my fills seem to tighten up later.
I do seem to not be as hungry though. For the last couple of weeks I have been waking up in the middle of the night and in the morning absolutely STARVING. So far that has not happened since the fill. I have breakfast in front of me right now and I seem to be getting satisfied on 1 turkey sausage and 1 fried egg. Hopefully this is a good sign!
I will hopefully be posting pictures this weekend. Everyone keep their fingers crossed as DH has a job interview again today. We REALLY need him to get this job!

Gettin' a fill!
My doc was able to move up my fill date to Tuesday!! Thank goodness. The scale is moving in an unkind direction. I am starving constantly and I am freaking out! I have been unfilled for over 3 months and it is starting to wear on me. I paid 17000$ for this tool...I guess I should use it.

Getting Faster!
I walked 3.25 miles tonight and did it under an hour! Much faster than the last walk.
The bloating/swelling is HORRIBLE today. I have been on carbs for 2 days and I look like I swallowed a freaking watermelon. So PS said to go back to low carb...already had! According to the scale I am up 7 pounds. Yeah...I am a little freaked out.
On a good note, doc wants me to come back in next Wed and we will discuss getting me back to running. Best stinking news I have heard in a long time!
Looks like we are going to WA for my dad's birthday since I got permission to travel. We were going to leave Friday but there is a get together at a fellow teacher's house on Saturday so we are going on Sunday instead.

Cabin Fever
So I don't live in a cabin and my temperature is 98.6 degrees, but I am going crazy. I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!
I am so sick of being in this area. I need to get out. I have a doc appt tomorrow and then I am going to try and get permission to travel for a bit. I am going stark raving MAD. I want to get in the car and drive until I can't see the crappy brown of this god foresaken area.

3 miles!
YEAH!!! I walked three miles tonight. I felt great. Though I have to say when you start getting tired, it hits you quite quickly. We were at about 2.5 miles and I felt a wee bit tired and then ...BAM...all of a sudden I felt like I was going to need to take a nap right there on the street.
Not much else to post. I did go to Goodwill today in an attempt to start filling my closet. Though I made a BIG mistake and didn't take my binder with me. NOT a good idea. We are going to a few stores tomorrow to see what is happening in the clearance sales and I WILL be wearing my binder except when I am actually trying on the clothes.
Still leaking. Have an appt with the doc tomorrow to check the incisions.
