Doctor's Appointments ...

I hope that my life has not come down to one doctor's appointment after another. I have been in some doctor's office/hospital multiple times a week since the beginning of February. I know that it was all to make sure that Jace and I are healthy and safe ... but I am ready to be done.

It is such a relief to know that I won't have to go to the doctors again for four weeks! (Mini-celebration!!). Today I had a post-op appointment for Dr. Merrill to check my incision, remove my adhesive strips holding my incision together, and send me on my way. He is a funny man -- and I usually catch his sarcasm as it comes. He told me how to tend my incision. He said that it can be scrubbed a bit, but not to pull too hard. He was showing the appropriate amount of "how hard" and his eyes got wide as he exclaimed "whoops!" He obviously was just kidding -- he didn't rip my abdomen open -- he got me though!

Oh ... and I have lost 24 pounds already!! The best weight loss program I have ever been 0n -- (then again I had to gain close to 30 to get here ... but I got Jace out of it, so I figure it was more worth it!!)
