got some topomax!

Weird title I know.. But I went to the doc on Friday which was a miracle in itself! For anybody who has ever dealt with BACH (Blanchfield Army Community Hospital) (who once tried to book me for a yeast infection apointment 3 weeks out!) you know what I am talking about. I called on Thursday afternoon and asked to be seen soon about my month long migraine battle and WHAT! I was seen on Friday!? That next day!! Holy Batman!!
Anyway so I went and got the drug Topomax which I have been on before.  I have migraines sometimes everyday for weeks. I get the kind with light and sound sensitivity and a headache. My mom gets occular ones... ugh poor momma! But I am back on the pills and hopefully they will slow down now. I have had one for 3 weeks everyday at 3pm I have to take Excedrin Migraine (which is fab stuff). And I dont want to be on daily Tylenol! so I went on Topomax instead. Will keep ya'll updated. Today no migraine.. very nice!
Just re read this and its not all that well written.. I am tired and grouchy and I hope I start soon. Sorry if thats too much info!

My boy a few years ago.. sweetness!

My Little Man

I would just like to report that my son started my coffee this morning. I make my coffee before we all go to bed at night. And every morning my sons job is to go downstairs and push the on button on the coffee machine. He loves to push it and I love having hot coffee with no waiting. Most days he pushes it when we come down the stairs together. I start making breakfast and he pushes the button. But today he woke up at about 7am and blearily sat up (he slept in my bed since he was scared he said) and went sleepily downstairs. I was awake but not moving yet and said "hey buddy what are you doing?" He said "starting your coffee."
This to me was exceptionaly cute and thoughtful. I dont know for sure if its his training (go me!) or his sweet spirit. Because when he is not crashing Hot Wheels and fighting with is little sister he is sugary sweet. I <3 my little man.

Big Decision

 I am going to have Gastric Bypass surgery. I am turning in my paperwork by the end of Feburary. I hae weighed over 250 for about a year and it stinks. I have been overweight since I was 13 and I eat out of boredom and sometimes emotionally. This surgery is going to break my food addiction and help/force me to lose alot of weight. How much I dont know. Its exciting to think about all my new possibilities though. I will get a big fresh start. I can imagine running up the stairs and not getting dizzy. Running around playing soccer with my son! Not sitting down to cook dinner cause me feet hurt so bad. These are all very happy thoughts for me. I am so ready.


I would like to share this journey with you. I know there will be ups and downs and I think it will be very good for me to write all of this thing down. It will be good for me and maybe good for you. Maybe your thinking of doing it too. I want to be as prepared as possible and I bet you would too.

Thanks for reading!

Oh and thanks Tami for thinking I should do this!
