CPAP
Well, I picked up my CPAP machine on Friday evening. I have only been able to tolerate it about four hours each night. It is going to take some time getting used to. Trying to sleep with a foreign object on your face isn't the easiest thing that I have ever done. However, I do thank God for giving man the knowledge to invent such a machine so that we may have healthier sleep and therefore a healthier life.
Diabetes Education
Since being recently diagnosed with Diabetes my Endocrinologist suggested that I go for some diabetes education. Today I had my first appt which was just a basic consultation appt to find out what my habits are, what I do and don't know and to get me set up to go to 9 hours of diabetes classes. I am scheduled to attend my classes on June 22, 23 & 24th from 5:30 - 8:30pm. I am so not looking forward to them, but I have to do what is best for me and my health and a little education never hurt anyone. I would just prefer to educate myself on something more interesting.
WLS Update
I have my first appt with the WLS psychologist this Friday. My sister says that he is just wonderful. I can't wait to meet him. With the anticipation of each appt I am sure that I will only get more and more excited. I just wish they could all be like tomorrow, but since things don't work that way, I will just have to wait my turn!!!
My Emotions
The past week has been trying for me emotionally. I am thinking it is because I am weaning myself off of one antidepressant to try another one. I was suppose to wean myself a couple of more days, but last night I decided that I was going to go ahead and start the new medication. I can usually tell by my attitude, emotions, etc. . . when it is time to move on and honey it was time to move on. Last week I found myself angry with my very best friend Marie and I have never been angry with her before. I still feel so bad and I can only pray that she has or will forgive me for being angry with her. I have also had times when I would just cry for no reason at all, I would just find myself very tearful and not really be sure why. I just ask that all of you please be praying that this new medication will do the trick.
I will be talking to you soon. Lori

I have been praying for you and the success of your new medication. I know what it is like to be weaned off meds and it is not pleasant. I am asking the Lord to give you strength.
