Weigh In...

We had weight loss challenge yesterday and my partner in the challenge and competition was down 4 lbs since the last time she weighed in about 2 weeks ago. I am so proud of her. She said she had dropped all animal products from her diet with the exception of cheese. She is eating Boca burgers and Morning Fresh products instead for a week and says she feels much healthier because of it.

I know, I know you are wondering how I did. Well.....I maintained 251.6 lbs. Exactly to the .6 lbs. LOL I don't feel bad because it could have been a gain and wasn't and now that I think about it it is almost TOM time again. Oh Joy!

Well today is the last of my three rechecks after the last abnormal pap. I can't remember if i'd posted on the last two results or not - so nutshell version here! They have all come back abnormal since my LEEP but when the samples were sent back to the lab to be compaired to biopsies taken from the LEEP they were not as bad as the biopsy. So My doc said 'we'll give it 3 months and see you again' and same thing happened. Same results. So here we are at the last of the 3 required  appointments adn we'll see how it goes. I should hopefully know at the latest my mid-July. Why the big window? Because I have learned that rushing them is not something you do when the lab has to compaire cultures. ;-D On a similiar note I have an online friend from my gaming world (yup I am a girl game geek) that was notified that she had a severe anbormality. So she is totally worried about what might happen and I was greatful that I had this experience to be able to help her better understand some of what will happen. I am hoping and praying that even though it is severe that it is not invasive yet and can be taken care of with a simple surgery like the LEEP. I'm totally praying that it isn't yet Cancer. She has a 8 month old little girl and was trying to figure out how they didn't catch this when she had her. Plus she is a little ticked about the way she was notified. She had gone in for a never ending period (sound familiar? sure did to me!) and they sent her a letter saying it was severely abnormal and to head to the hospital for a colposcomy. The doc never once contacte her about it outside the letter(s) she received. Mind you she lives in England but even here I've seen postcards saying "you had an abnormal pap please schedule an appt as soon as possible" sent to friends and family. Somehow I got a doc that decided calling me and letting me know was a better option. Go figure.

Well I should finish breakfast before I forget to do it at all. Later Jland. ~Hugs~Jen~
