Update

Yesterday I had my endoscopy. It went well except Dr Argotte found I have a hiatal hernia and an ulcer. He said that when I have my surgery he could fix the hernia if he thinks it needs it. Prescribed some expensive med for the ulcer.

Monday I picked up my machine for the sleep apnia. Apparently I have mixed obstructive and central sleep apnia and was having multiple episodes of apnia every minute so no wonder I'm always tired. I've been able to keep my mask on all night, but I have an extremely sore spot on the bridge of my nose.

weightloss update

Well it's been a while since I posted an update on my weightloss. I have started on my 6 month supervised diet. I have lost 5lbs since my official start of diet and 13 since I started the process. On Monday I go to pick up my cpap equipment. On Thursday, I have my endoscope done. On the 19 I have my psych evaluation and on the 20th I go back to the surgeon. and on the 25 I see my diet supervisor. All of this in addition to work and church, it keeps me hoppin.

Trip to Minneapolis

I had a great time on my trip. I took Amtrak. It was fun. On Thursday, my niece, Deb, and I went to the Minnesota Zoo. I love zoos and this is one of the nicest I been to. On Friday and Saturday, we went to the Women of Faith conference. Sunday was church and bowling with my nephew, Tim, and his family. Monday, my niece, Beth and nephew, Seth and his wife Laura, joined us and we went to the Mall of America. Laura works at Underwater Adventures, the worlds largest underground aquarium. She took us for a tour. I really enjoyed that alot. Tuesday, it was back home again. Phew what a whirlwind visit.
