thyroid cancer

I went for my follow-up yesterday and found that the cyst was cancerous. However, they removed the right thyroid so the cancer is gone. I have to go back in six months for a check up but for right now I'm okay. I have healed nicely and am feeling very good under the circumstances. I do not need thyroid medication because I still have the left side and that is what's functioning for me. I credit diet and exercise for my feeling as good as I do because if I was still obese I wouldn't be in as good of shape as I am now. I give glory and honor to God for my weightloss success as well as the success of my surgery. Diet and exercise makes all the difference in the world.

Skinny Mini

I wanted to post this picture of myself that was taken on Saturday, May 23rd at my sister's house. I'm standing in one of the pant legs of the jeans I used to wear. I have lost 150 pounds and only have 20 more to go!! I have always wanted to do this.

Happy August!

It's hard to believe that it's August 1st already. Autumn will be here soon and even though that doesn't mean a whole lot in central Texas it is still a great time of year. Honestly I do not like summer and the months of July August have never been my favorite.

I did my monthly weigh in and as of today I have lost 100 pounds since August 2007. I still have more to lose but 100 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. That is an amazing weight loss victory and I'm very happy about it.

I am looking for a job right now. It's not been easy but the Lord knows what I need and I have faith that something wonderful will come my way. The hard part is is having a degree but no experience.

On a sadder note Cali is gone. As far as we know she's not dead and we believe her former owners took her away. They live behind us and being that they're not the most pleasant of people there's nothing we can do about it. I miss her terribly and Julius is very lonesome for her. After process of elimination the only explanation is that her former owners took her and gave her to someone they know. I have scoured the neighborhood and I put up a flyer in the local post office I have walked around the neighborhood asking if anyone has seen her and no one can tell me anything. It's almost as if she disappeared off the face of the earth. I hope she's happy wherever she is and that she's being treated right. She's a very sweet cat so she deserves the best. I'll have to say that she was the best cat I ever had the pleasure of owning. Or should I say had the pleasure of being owned by.

Keep Cali and me in your prayers. Have a great day. Good Bless!
