Garbled Mind

My weight is one move again- today its a bounce down.  My BMI today is 25.7  Today I need to lose exactly 4.6lbs to be “normal”  I am still depressed but I’m less depressed.  The bad thing is that I had to be sick as a dog to lose the few pounds.  My daughter had a stomach virus earlier in the week and I know that I have the same thing.  These virus’ act differently on someone who has had their digestive system cut up.  We have the horrible feeling that I need to puke right now but since our stomachs are no longer attached to the upper digestive system/mouth we do not vomit.  So as I type, my stomach is heaving, my mouth is watering & I wish to the heavens that I could relieve it.  But i cannot.  It will pass in about a half hour which seems like an eternity.  This reaction is totally my fault because after not having anything to eat or drink overnight, I was feeling pretty good.  I decided that a bit of diet orange soda & a few saltine crackers were in order.  My stomach thought much differently. 

My husband injured himself on the job last night.  He hurt his back/hip while using a pry bar.  Normally he has a very high pain tolerance so the fact that he was hauled out of there on  a stretcher gave me pretty good indication that he did it up real good.  The ER reports that they isnt any fractures but suspects he tore off one of his supporting muscles in his lower back.  They shot him full of heavy duty pain meds & sent him home.  He was non ambulatory & vomiting from  the pain.  WTF.  His work wants him to be seen in their medical department today before he starts his shift.  There is no way he can work-  he cant walk.  I am not sure how we are going to get him in the building.  Fun Fun.

OH!  One last tidbit-  As of March 1, I am three years out from my WLS.  I got a letter from the place where I had my surgery done at.  The place that specialized is weight loss & people LOSING weight cannot spell losing.  Yep, the letter says loosing.  Freaking idiots.
