Below is a blog written by the new bariatric Doctor at LGH. He is a younger guy with a lot of enthusiasm and I wish him lots of luck. I will probably not go to see him, because I would rather stay with the guy who did my surgery. He is moving to another hospital closer to my home. I have been considering switching all of my care to the other hospital for various reasons. I won't write the reasons now because I am tired and have something else I want to say before I run out of steam.
Anyway, the cookbook reminds me of a lot of the things I have forgotten, and that is a good thing. I can use the inspiration every now and then.
Blog cookbook!
I have been looking for support from the post people who are further out than myself so I can plan my future health wise. I want to know what to expect, and have a ton of questions. I'll let you know if I find what I'm looking for.
A group of post people spent the day at Hershey Park and had a ball, and met some of their milestones, namely, actually being able to fit onto the rides. I have thought about doing that also, but am still not sure I won't end up dying, thereby ruining everything I worked so hard for. I still don't feel up to par and before I hop onto a ride, I want to know just what is wrong with me.
I will make a real effort to get my blood work done next week.
I have some things I am in a panic over, and I know that if I don't figure them out and fix them soon, I will be losing everything material wise that I own. The job market sucks and I really don't want to waste the rest of my life working a job that I hate doing.
The storms that have gone through the area have actually worried me because I don't have anyone here to back me up. If something happens, I am all alone. I don't like that feeling. But, there is also nothing that I will be doing to change that any time soon, so I will live with the fear.
My dreams have been vivid and disturbing recently. I do feel as if they are helping me to sort out some of the problems I am facing. Now, all I need is a good kick in the butt, and some actual support.
I have been toying with the thought of taking a drive across the country right after school is finished next Thursday. I have been doing some test maps on Google, and looking at lodging near locations I've always wanted to see. Here are some ideas I've stored:

I have been toying with the thought of taking a drive across the country right after school is finished next Thursday. I have been doing some test maps on Google, and looking at lodging near locations I've always wanted to see. Here are some ideas I've stored:
- Fly to Seattle, L.A., or Las Vegas. Rent a car and drive back slowly.
- Drive the entire Lincoln Highway. This would prove to be impossible for now because there are several different routes that are considered "Lincoln Highway". The route has changed many times since it was new. This would also take quite some time and planning. I will put this one on the back burner for now.
- Drive to Vegas. Stay in a hotel for a week and visit all of the casinos on the strip. I don't gamble, but if you've ever been out there, you know there is so much more to do than gamble. Drive home by a different route. Vegas is also close to 3 areas that I've wanted to see. The lake, The Dam, and the Grand Canyon.
- Fly or drive to Orlando and go to Disney World. I've never been there, but after looking at how large it is, and how confusing planning is, I would rather put that off until I have someone to go with. It seems, I would come back more tired than anything because of the huge amount of information I would have to take in.
- Drive to Key West and veg out for a week. This one, right now, has the most appeal to me. I like driving my little red car, and it was made to drive with the windows down and the roof open. It's a shame I don't have anyone along to share the experience with. That's the main reason why I have been hesitating to actually take the trip.
- Taking a trip to Chicago. There is a place there I have wanted to see ever since I found out about it in 1983. You wouldn't know about it, so I'll keep it private. No, it's not the Playboy Mansion, although now that you mention it....
I have also thought about visiting some of my Facebook friends. I've met several that live in areas of the country I might want to consider relocating to, and a visit would kill two birds with one stone.
I have flown before with my CPAP machine without problems, but that was before 9/11/01 so I don't know if that would cause problems today. I also wonder about my vitamins being carried as well. I know what a pain it was way back when to have the airline store the bags instead of bringing them as carry on. This is especially bad if you have to transfer to another flight in between.
I have also considered booking myself locally into a resort motel, or even a cheap one and pretending to be a tourist. Or, maybe just going to Baltimore's Inner Harbor, taking the train to DC and seeing things I've wanted to see there. The Wall, and as much of the Smithsonian as I can. I've been to a few of the buildings, but not all. I've been inside the FBI, White House, and seen many of the monuments, but there is so much to see there, and I can now walk in the hot weather without problems. Might be fun, and I would work off a few calories.
Oh well, I could also stay home, work on the house, play my guitar, and get a job. Hmmmm.... choices.
Life is good!

Good to see you are making plans! As far as things like your vitamins and CPAP: mail them to your destination ahead of time. Then you won't have to worry. Take one of those trips. Actually, I think I agree with you that the Key West trip sounds perfect. Wherever you go, enjoy! I'll be spending the next few weeks getting rehab 2-3 times a week. Surgery is done, but my knee is stiff. Oh, well. At least I can walk again without pain. The economy really sucks too. Getting a job is hard. Getting a job when you are over 50 is even harder. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard. Let me know how you are doing.
