Just an update

Not much happening right now. Thought I should update some.
I have gotten down to 195lbs. That means that I have lost 242lbs. since I started this. I have really amazed myself. I knew in my heart that I could do this, but didn't think I would do as well as I have. I still have great support and that helps a lot.
I went to my support group meeting tonight. Our leader wanted me to tell the group about my experience at the ObesityHelp Event that I went to in Chicago. My fear was that we would have a large group tonight and it was just the opposite. There was only two other ladies that came, but I told them all about it. While talking about it Dr. Reyes came in and looked at the pictures that I had taken and commented on the one of Dr. Garth Davis. He is friends with Garth's brother, while Dr. Camacho is friends with Garth. Dr. Reyes also said that Dr. Camacho was coming down for a visit in a couple of months. I told him that I would really like to see him when he is here and would they call me when he was going to be at the office. He said that he would. I will have to let the office know that I want to see him in case that Dr. Reyes forgets.
I have an appointment with Dr. Reyes next month for my 18 month check-up. I will need to get my blood work done next week to make sure it is back in time for the appt.
George had a doctors appt. this morning with the neurologist. He has prescribed a medicine that should help him with his walking. He will start the medicine tomorrow. He has to take it 4 times a day at specific times. The effects of the pill only last 4 hours, so he has to take it at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm doesn't have to take it after that, so we will see how it goes.

These pics were taken while visiting at my brothers. We got to spend 4 days with Jen and Dan, it was great!
