So some stuff happened. I don't feel like writing about it publicly. A trip to the ER 4/17 that ultimately resulted in a new diagnosis. If anyone wants to know details, pm me. I'm not dying or anything!

That said...here's the latest weight check from last night.

Weighed myself today.

85 pounds.

When I do weigh at home it toggles between 84, 85 and 86. So, holding my own for what it's worth. ;)
86.8

The lowest I've seen on the scale was 78 lbs. All things considered, I've gained about 8 lbs since that lowest reading.

I'll take it and thank God for it! :)

I visualise things improving so much in the coming months. Fingers crossed still.

I don't know how tall you are, but at only 86.8 lbs., you must be thin as a rail!

Shades... Sometimes I think you have verbal diarrhoea and just say crap without thinking. Maybe keep some thoughts off the keyboard? Jersey Girl you are doing amazing, with everything going on and all the healing you've been doing, I'm super proud of you. <3

Hello. I was just saying to someone in messages that I know I haven't replied to people's sent messages like I should. It's not that I don't care about you or that you care about me. I appreciate you all SO much. If you see me posting when I owe you a message reply it's only that I'm trying to get AWAY from the current situation. Escape what I can't escape otherwise because I'm living it and I get so tired of thinking about it. Currently worn out, worn down, painful, dizzy, feeling debilitated. Can't keep all the balls in the air but I strive forward. Don't worry about me. I never lose hope. EVER. Working on what I've been diagnosed with which could actually be the very light at the end of this terrorist creepy as hell tunnel I've been in for 2 years. It makes too much sense. Hopeful. Working on it. Hate it but doing it. As always, I press on. Your support of me has been humbling and encouraging. I think you are God's boots on the ground for me. I love you for your steadfast caring which I sometimes feel is lacking in real life. Just know that and be sure of it.

Oh by the way, here's a fair representation of what I look like for Shades.

I meant it as a compliment. Most of us in late adulthood would love to have won the Battle of the Bulge, even if it wasn't comfortable doing so.

It's not a compliment when the rail has been sick for 2 years.

In that case, I apologize for my comment.

"wasn't comfortable....."?????????????????????
:cry: come on, Shades. This is a deeply personal thread where one of our own has made it clear what she is suffering through. Please, just think before you post these quips.
