Recovery

Blog Posted:9/23/2007 12:09:00 AM

On Friday I had two surgeries.  I am at home now and recovering.    I am feeling better and better by the hour, and I am glad I finally went to the doctor for a checkup to get some problems understood and resolved.  I will no longer be the typical male and hold out for years with pain.  Pain is the body's way of signaling to us that something may be wrong.  Let's pay attention to our bodies and not be afraid of what we think the doctor may find.  Knowledge is power, and the more informed we are, the better choices we can make.  Health is more important than male pride, and if we truly want to love others better- let's take care of ourselves.  Take charge of your health and live happy!

I have still been losing weight since my last blog.  I have lost a total of 30 lbs now, and I can wear a size 36.  I was wearing a size 40-42.  However, since my surgeries I won't be able to exercise for at least 2 weeks.  But I will still maintain small portions and I can walk.  By the way for those interested my email address is tandays@juno.com.  Email me anytime.

Thanks for the advice. I've been putting everything off and now looks like I'm going to be getting some things done just to be able to stand without pain. Too stubborn to listen, wife says I have to learn everything the hard way. Good luck. I am at 44 waist (28 when I came out of the Navy). That's part of it. I'll keep you in my prayers. God Bless. Vince
