Humph...

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been in a difficult situation lately. I'm stuck in the middle of depression and excitement. Two of my friends just had their babies this last week and I'm trying to find a balance of being SO happy for them (which I am) but still allowing myself to feel the natural feelings of jealously and resentment (which I also am). I'm sure no one will understand this feeling unless they themselves have been there.

In addition to that I've been just completely busy with homework for my two classes. They're going well, but a bit challenging. That's ok, that's the point.

Work has been SO stressful! We are way backed up and everyone keeps calling out sick, so we're not able to get caught up. I'm starting to get sick and I want to call out but I know I'd be letting all my co-workers down if I'm not there helping get us out of this mess. Seems they don't feel the same way.

I had my doctor's appointment last Thursday to get my referral letter. I just cannot tell you how much I love this doctor! His name is Dr. Smith, he's only about 10 minutes from me, and he's the Mayberry doctor I've always dreamed of. He has a small, very modest office. It's not full of expensive high tech devices, but just the basics. He doesn't keep a full time receptionist, so most of the calls are taken by him directly. He purposely keeps a low patient list so that he gets to spend quality time with each patient and not rush them in and out, one after the other. When we got to the office, there was only one person being seen but no one in the waiting room. We got to spend as much time with him as we wanted and we weren't rushed out after only 10 minutes. I absolutely HATE when you go to a doctor and you wait an hour in the waiting room, another half hour in the patient room, and then your doctor only spends 10 minutes with you before writing whatever prescription he thinks will get you out of his office so he can collect the next co-pay. Anyway, my next appointment is next Tuesday. He'll give me my blood results and as long as those are good, I'll get my referral letter to send to my surgeon! YAY!

Weight Watchers....yeah....I'll get back to you ;) It's hard to diet when you're an emotional eater and all your friends are having babies and you're stressed!

Stay tuned, I'll post again after my Dr's appt w/Dr. Smith on Tuesday.

Have a good week!
