Just a few wee updates…

2012-02-29 2012-02-29 001 018

Went to Knoxville today. Rosie saw her gastric bypass surgeon. She has lost over  200 lbs. She only weighs 20 lbs more than me now.

Doc started her on Flagyl to see if her nausea, diarrhea and vomiting responds to it. May be C Diff. Not sure. Plans are for her to be on it  for 4 weeks. Off 2 weeks. Back on for 2 weeks. IF she doesn’t start feeling better he is gonna send her to a gastroenterologist.She is still swollen on her right lower abdominal quadrant. CT Scans, Labs. and vitals  were all normal.

Went to Ross for Less in Knoxville. We went to the one here in Morristown last weekend. Got so many bargains. All items are size 14 or smaller. I got one dress that is a 9/10.  Rosie is gonna try her clothes I got her on tomorrow. Hope she can wear at least one of them now. I know she will be able to wear them by our vacay in May. She is losing 4-5 lbs a week.

I haven’t gained or lost any in over 18 months.. but I have lost 5″ from my waist!

The dress I am wearing is from Ross for Less. Got it for $7.99 YES Seven dollars and 99 cents.

Bought another one like it in muted tones at Ross or Less in Knoxville. . it was $13.99 Exact same dress just a different color.

Rosie and I got a few short PARTY dresses. One was only $5.99 and it is lovely satin material with sparkles.

I think the most expensive item we purchased was $17.99

Went to PETSMART. Got Smoki a new harness. Got Smoki and Snickers both a Monkey Squeaky Toy and a Rawhide Cookie.

Ate at Mimi’s Cafe for lunch. I had a salad with 1 T Sesame Balsamic Vinaigrette. Ate 1/4 of a turkey and cheese croissant with cranberry orange relish. Ate the rest tonight. Dad had Corn Chowder, Slaw and turkey and cheese croissant with cranberry orange relish. He brought half the sandwich home for our dogs. Rosie ate 4 oz of Flat Iron Steak. She explained that she had gastric bypass and didn’t want any potatoes or veggies and asked for a Strawberry/ Pineapple side dish. They brought her a huge plate of it. She brought it home and had it for a snack. She prolly has 8 oz of steak still in the fridge for tomorrow. I am so happy when she eats. She rarely eats ANYTHING cause she feels so nauseous.

Tomorrow, we go for Allergy shots. Have to pick up some meds and go grocery shopping. Rosie also needs to go to Healthstar for a PT test since she is on blood thinner.

Hope she starts feeling able to get out and do more things. Would love to go to the Smokies this weekend. Maybe even to the Cinemas.

Rosie REALLY needs a new wheelchair. The cushion in her chair is so worn out. She slopes down in the chair and ends up with severe back pains. She is due for a new chair in June. Gonna call Medicare and make sure. She will need a much smaller chair! Her wheelchair weighs 375 lbs without her even in it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND SHANE.

Praying for everyone. On my mind tonight are all those affected by the storms and tornadoes. Sad.

Heading to bed shortly. Tired. Been up since 9 am. That is way early for me. Normally my wake up time is after 1 pm. I like to stay up till 3-5 am. Always been a night owl.

Can’t get *him* off my mind… not sure what to do. Decisions. Decisions. Asking God to Guide the both of us. I SURRENDER US.

Another *him* Wondering if I should overtly FLIRT with him. Afraid of ruining our friendship. He sorta flirts… just not sure. I am so dumb when it comes to Men! UGH! Asking God to Guide the both of us. I SURRENDER US.

Another *him*…. this him is the one I am suppose to spend eternity with… Wherever he is tonight, dear Lord, Keep him safe and warm. Speak to his spirit and let him know I am the one. Guide he and I together. Protect both our families and our friends. I Pray for patience until the day we walk into one each others life. Prepare us both for the journey we are suppose to take together. Bring people into our lives that can help us grow. People that we can help. Let our smiles, hearts and words encourage other people. USE US BOTH. I take it upon myself and surrender both he and I to the LORD! Use us for Your glory. Let him feel the holy spirit right at this moment. Speak to his heart. Comfort us both with the hope of finding each other. I hope Soon but I defer to God cause I know God’s timing is perfect.

Love and Prayers to All~~~Angela Bell Goode

Remember GOD IS LOVE ♥

MEN

Will I ever be able to allow a man into my life?

I am so scared. Been hurt so badly in the past.

I have given my heart to two men. The last one  was over 17 years ago.

I am in love with my friend John, but he is married. We are best friends. Share everything. Only man who has ever been there for me. Known him for over 5 years. Never met him. Never even heard his voice. We cam with text only, by my choice. He lives in Scotland.  John has been the only man I have chatted with online or webcammed with in 5 years.

I always choose men FAR AWAY so I won’t have to deal with a REAL Relationship.

For the last 17 years I have had “cyber relationships” with a slew of men. Most don’t hold my interest for very long. I get bored very easily.

Going to take a special man to capture and keep my interest.

 

A few months ago I started talking to a few guys online. Made some ‘friendships’ … but they have shown no interest in getting to know me better. Really interested in a few of them. Waiting for them to make a move and it ain’t happening fast enough and perhaps never will.

I am such a handful. So moody at times. Not very social but improving.

I have health issues Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Diabetes.

Plus I have a disabled Sister Rosie that God selected me to be her caregiver for the rest of her life. Not sure any man would be able to accept that.

Dealing with molestation as a child/teen. No wonder I am frightened.

In the last year or so I have a received a few thousand  messages from men at Facebook and on Dating sites who want to get to know me better. BUT I never reply back.

I am considering corresponding with a few of them. MAYBE.

I am shaking even thinking about that.

Wish I was not scared of LIFE.

I don’t want to select the wrong man to give my attention to.

I want ‘the one’ GOD created me for.

I want God to knock me up the side of my head and tell me which man to write back.

I need God’s guidance and infinite wisdom.

I have prayed this same prayer for over 30 years now.

I surrender to God.

GOD PLEASE HELP ME.

Help me cope with men and relationships.

I have not even given my phone number to any man in over 5 years.

Hate that I don’t deal with things as well as I should.

Seems like have the social skills of a 6-14 year old… once again that goes back to me being molested.

UGH!

Damn it Angela. Grow Up. Live Your Life

Asking that those who read this pray for me. I will be praying for you.

Lord, guide me and my soulmate/helpmate together.

I surrender US to thee.

Send me a man who is spiritual, compassionate, one who will adore me as I will him.

He doesn’t have to be handsome nor wealthy.. Just financially secure enough to be able to provide Rosie and I with a home, a car, and be able to pay the bills. Not too much to ask.

I love a man with a sense of humor. A warm smile, A gentle heart.

I adore movies, music, pets, food, and traveling.

I have never seen the ocean!!! NEVER.

I also have never flown on a plane…. But I am willing.

Would love to travel the world.

I once considered being a missionary until God led me to be a caregiver for my family.

I want my life to start tomorrow!

Hell no, to start TONIGHT!

I am sick and tired of not living.

Not allowing myself to enjoy things.

From now on I want to LIVE, Experience all life has to offer.

God I surrender all of myself to you.

Guide me.

Open doors I never knew could open.

Hold my hand. Lead me.  Walk with me.

I give ME to Thee.

I know You will not let me down.

I have faith and hope.

Show me my destiny.

Help me to

LIVE.

LOVE.

LAUGH.

INSPIRE OTHERS.

Praying for the man You created me for.

I believe in destiny.

I know I was created, designed, molded for one special man.

Comfort THE ONE I am meant to spend eternity with..

Grant Patience and Knowledge to Us both.

I surrender US to thee.

GOD IS LOVE.

Show me that I am able to love and be loved in return.

~Angela

My HelpMate

Dear God,

Use me to do more for You.

I am willing,

Help me realize what gifts you have given me.

Use me to help others.

Use me for Your glory.

Grant me patience, knowledge, wisdom, fortitude, compassion, understanding…

I know I was put in Earth for a reason…

Send people into my life who will help me do what You intended for me. I surrender to thee.

Lord, Open my eyes, heart, mind, soul to know what man I was created for.

I truly believe I am meant to have a helpmate.

Just haven’t found him yet.

I pray that whomever my helpmate is that God will protect us and guide us together.

Speak to my helpmate and I…through the holy spirit… to let us know that we are waiting for one another…

Show us the pathway.

Encourage us both.

Let us know who, when, where.

We both are listening.

Let him feel my prayers.

I surrender US to God.

Rosie is still sick

Parkwest hospital called about Rosie’s urine culture. She does have a urinary track infection. Starting her on Cipro.

She is still having stomach aches and pains, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea.

She has been crying today.

Hates feeling so bad.

She is also weak. Can’t keep any food down.

PRAYER WARRIORS: Please pray as hard as you can for her. She has been through so much lately. It is wearing her down. THANKS!

I am asking God to heal Rosie’s weak body, strengthen her immune system, heal everything wrong with her. Comfort her and give her hope. Please God. I surrender it to Thee. Amen.

Making Beef stew for her. Not sure she will even try it. Will see.

God Bless,

Angela

Rosie Update

Rosie had a pretty good day. Just haven’t ate much.She wanted Orange Roughy for supper. Just made it for her. 2 bites and she started vomiting. Her Family Doc is checking her for MRSA and C. Diff. She has had both previously. I just want Rosie to be able to eat, keep it down and be back to her old loveable fun self! Hate seeing her so sick.

I took a siesta today. Barely fell asleep. Just nice to rest. We had to turn the air-conditioner on today! Wow.

Rosie wants to go out tomorrow night. Hope she feels like it. We need to get our party on! LOL!

Very upset at Facebook. Under the messages on the left side, their is an OTHER folder. I had 100′s of messages I had never seen. Some old, some new.

Some were from my ex. I haven’t heard from him in 17-18 years. (Have seen his MUGSHOTS)  I forgave him a long time ago, Just wish he could forgive himself, and find some peace. Pray that he has stopped drinking , smoking, and carousing. That would be a blessing to all those who surround him.

I decided I needed a nap and missed chat with John. He went to bed early. Hope to spend Friday webcamming with him. I have known him for almost 5 years now. We love and understand one another more than married couples. COMMUNICATION is so important. Someday we spend 10 min talking… some days hours. Support. Friendship. Laughing. Playing. Joking. Teasing. LOVE HIM!

IF Rosie feels like it we may go to the movies this weekend.

SnickerDoodle is all snugly this evening. He took a nap with me and so did Tater Bug.

Prayers to all my family and friends. I am blessed with both.

Going to go watch some TV with Rosie.

Later Gaters,

Angela Bell

ER UPDATE

Rosie is at Parkwest ER. Checking her blood. Just took her for an abdominal CT Scan. She has  been vomiting, having diarrhea, nausea, and pain. She  is so weak. Will update on Facebook and Twitter via phone. Laptop battery will soon be dying. Hospital has blocked facebook and twitter via their wireless. This may get posted to facebook and twitter through my wordpress. I am HOPING.

Gonna be a long day. IF they do admit her I have to go home to get my meds. Will return tomorrow morn to stay with her.

So stressed with worry. Rosie has been crying in pain. Just not feeling well. Makes me so sad to see her like this. Feel hopeless. Trusting God to let the doctors, nurses and techs determine and fix what is wrong with her. I love my sissy,.

Keep us in your prayers. THANKS!

~Angela


February 21, 2012, at 8:16 pm

Evening Update

Rosie had nausea all day. No hunger. But she did eat some chicken noodle soup.. which she vomited back up. We believe her nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting is due to the antibiotic Augmentin that she has been on.

Manicure: BLACK STAR by Revlon Top Speed.

Will be happy to get out of the house tomorrow. Can’t believe I actually want to go out. Used to hate it so much that I avoided leaving the house at all. I even went almost 20 years without going to a movie. Rosie and I now go often as we like to.

Slowly but surely I am becoming more extroverted. Enjoying all the male attention I have started receiving again. So thrilled with my weight loss. Gives me so much more confidence.

Had a lovely webcam chat with John tonight. He went to the dentist and they couldn’t find anything wrong. They think he has a food particle trapped in his gum line. He was feeling so much better today. He was playful, naughty and so much fun. I love that silver haired rascal.

I have been celibate for a while now. What I miss most is kissing and hugs. I have only kissed a few men….

Best kisser was a guy named Roger. He was 3rd runner up for Mr West Virginia. A Body builder…. an incredible body. Regret that I didn’t sleep with him.Almost did.

Gary was a man I dated for 6 months. He is a multi-millionaire. He owned 28 houses when I was with him. Plus numerous companies. I loved going out on his 44 foot cabin cruiser… speeding up and down the Kanawha river in Charleston. Or going over 100MPH in his corvette, So much fun. He was just too busy and didn’t devote enough time to build a relationship.

I truly miss Michael from Mississippi. He was the love of my life (so far) Such a loving , compassionate man. He and I dated for 2 years. He was a Momma’s boy and would not move to West Virginia. We remained close friends till he passed away from a brain tumor. I am getting chills just from thinking of all the wonderful memories he and I shared. My parents adored him. We traveled together. Best vacay was spent in a deluxe cabin in Pigeon Forge. Jacuzzi is all I will say.. but wow-weee we had a blast.

I only kissed one other man but I don’t have ANY fond memories of him. PRAISE GOD that I got him out of my life. Mom, Dad and Rose all  hated him and now I understand why. I deserve so much more than he had to offer.

Doing well on my diet. Will get weighed tomorrow at Dr Boyce’s office.

I will probably drive to Knoxville tomorrow. Last year at this time I didn’t even having my driver’s license. So proud of what I have accomplished over the past few years.

Still having panic attacks at times. Having less of them but when I have one it is more intense than they use to be.

I am going to smile and talk to more people tomorrow.

 

~Angela


February 21, 2012, at 4:13 pm

Getting Ready…

Going to Knoxville tomorrow. Rose’s has an appt with her surgeon. She is still swollen from her hernia repair surgery. Painful as well. Hope Dr Boyce can drain the seroma tomorrow. Hope she does not have to be hospitalized. I pray that Rosie gets healthy and STAY healthy.

Angela Rose’s Day Spa has been open for an hour. Getting all beautified for our trip  tomorrow.

Completed Facial, Shaving, Hair deep-conditioned and Curled.

Pedicure completed.

Raven Black Toenails.

Doing manicure later tonight. Either black or silver.

Going to start to whiten my teeth tonight. Already did a scrub with Baking Soda. Feels so clean. Rosie got me an Electric toothbrush for Christmas. Going to start using it tomorrow. Also have Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips with Advanced Seal Technology Kit.

Gave Rosie a facial after her home health aide bathed her and shampooed her hair. She wants to get dolled up tomorrow… IF she is able to. She is still having nausea and diarrhea.

Somehow I ran out of my anti-anxiety med Buspar and didn’t notice it till last night. Back on it now. I apologize for being so moody and dramatic. Buspar should get me back to somewhat normal moods.

As my regular readers know, I lost almost 30% of my hair after my gastric bypass… which is fairly common. At the time of surgery my hair was almost to my waist. I ended up cutting it to my shoulders to make it look fuller. Which it did. Last month I had all sorts of new hair that had grown in and was all sorts of weird lengths so I cut off 4 inches. It is now growing out again. EVEN MORE FULLER THAN PRIOR TO SURGERY. Hope to get it back down to my waist again. Will take 2-3 years. I will wear  100% human hair extensions occasionally just to change my look… as you know I love to do.

Thankful that over the past 20 years I have grown up so much. A totally different person than I was. Wisdom and knowledge is such a blessing. So grateful for the people who helped me get to the point I am now in life. Doubly Blessed in that Department.

Have so much peace and serenity today. Thank all of you for the well wishes and prayers. Getting a decent nights sleep helped tremendously.

Haven’t heard from a few friends… hope I didn’t say or do something to offend them. IF I did I apologize. I miss them. SAD.

Hope Rosie feels well enough to go to the Mall in Knoxville. Plans are to eat at Mimi’s Cafe. Have a coupon for Buy an Entree get one FREE!

I am planning on wearing a black floral short dress tomorrow with black pantyhose and black knee-high boots. I have a pink cardigan to wear IF it is cold. Will probably do full makeup. Maybe even add false eyelashes. Depends IF I have time. I have to get up at 7 am. My bedtime has bed 4 am or later for weeks. Hope to get to bed by 11-12 tonight.

Sending much love to everyone. Pray that everyone in the world has LOVE, Serenity, Health, and knows and LOVES GOD.

Rosie’s Health

Rosie had a bad day. Diarrhea, Nausea, and Vomiting. Still having swelling and pain in her abdomen. Hate seeing her be so miserable. She sees her surgeon on Wednesday.

My moods fluctuated wildly today. So worried about Rosie.

Did get in an hour of housework. Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia sucks.

Didn’t get to see John tonight. Pray he is feeling better. Poor Baby.

Missing some of my friends. Pray that they are doing well.

With Rosie going through good days and bad days since her gastric bypass (June 26th, 2011) is really taking its toll on me. I have to do more since she feels so bad. Hasn’t been on her laptop, netbook or PC in over a week now.Yep, Rosie and I have our own laptop and netbook but we share the PC.

I get thrilled when she is feeling good and then severely depressed when she isn’t.A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS!

Haven’t slept well in over a week. May get in 2 straight hours at a time. Frustrating but Rosie needs my assistance with so many things.

Hope to get all dolled up for our trip to Knoxville on Wed. Hope to take some new pics.

Missing my family in WV but will see them soon as Rosie feels better. Will stay at Twin Falls in a cabin.

Hope that I can sleep 4 straight hours tonight. Would make me feel so much better.

Sending love to all my readers. Thanks for your prayers, support, and words of encouragement.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

Angela

Missing Mommy, My Day, My Life, Friends, Food, Movies, Blessings, Pets

Angela

I have been missing my mom so much.Been over 5 years since she passed. Dream of her nightly. She was such a blessing to all those who knew her. I LOVE MY MOMMY!

Glad that my Dad is doing well. He will be 71 in March. He has done so much for Rosie and I. I am so grateful for all he does.

Almost 3 am and everyone here is sound asleep except for me. I stay up late most nights. Rarely get in bed prior to 2 am.

Rosie and I watched ZOOKEEPER tonight. It was so-s0.

May go to the cinema’s this week if Rosie feels like it.

Everything is so convenient to us here. We are blessed to live on 2 acres, in a nice brick ranch home. Live with-in 40 min of Knoxville… that is when I drive.

Hope Rosie wakes up with her edema gone. Poor baby felt bad this evening. Running a 99 fever. She normally runs around 96-97. Hope she does not end up in the hospital this week. Been so stressed and worried about her. Hate seeing her in so much pain. So happy that she is at least eating again. Had been almost 4 months since she has enjoyed eating without nausea and vomiting.

Rosie wore my red size large sweater today. She is getting skinnier by the day. She will get weighed on Wednesday. I bet she has dropped 20 more pounds. Gonna be thinner than me soon.

Dad, Rosie and I ended up at O’Charleys after grocery shopping. Rosie and I split the steak and shrimp. Rosie ate one shrimp and about 3 oz steak. Nothing else.

I had 3 shrimp and an ounce of steak. Only had 3 spoonfuls of the tater soup. They brought me enough Caesar salad to feed an army. Ate only about a cup. Was stuffed. The Boys had plenty of leftovers from us, including prime rib from Dad.

Got a lot of bargains at the grocery store. Dad and I are having coconut shrimp tomorrow. Rosie is having her fave fish : orange roughy. Cooking roasted corn, roasted asparagus and perhaps a tater dish. Fresh Strawberries for Dessert. YUM YUM

Rosie and I need to hit the mall this week to see what is on sale. Needing some new short dresses or skirts. Adoring my legs.

Didn’t get to webcam with John tonight. He was expecting a storm so he is prolly without power. He has been feeling so bad for almost a year. Back, Shoulder, and Elbow issues. Lately he’s had a toothache. Pray that he is sleeping well tonight. Hoping he is warm and toasty. He is my baby Love. We are soul-mates. He has helped me become the lady I am today. I am gonna make him a new video of me. That always makes him feel better.

Haven’t heard from SJ or RH today. Hope they are relaxing and enjoying life. They both work too hard. Sending prayers their way.

Gonna holler for my babies: Snickers, Smoki, Jazzi, Punkin and Tater and head to my bedroom. Most nights I have 3-4 of em in bed with me. I stay in Rosie’s room till 2-3 am encase she needs me. We have a phone intercom system if she needs me while I am asleep.

Tater just said bedtime so I am off of here.

Good Night and God Bless,

Angela Bell aka PEACHES

Our Fortune…

First of all… We surrender OUR all to God… not some Daily fortune. The daily fortune we got today made us Smile.

Daily fortunes, horoscopes,  prognosticators, etc  usually say nothing in regards to what is happening in our lives…YET We received the following today:

You are about to enter a new phase in life. You may find that you attract a lot of unusual new friends. Some kind of shared experience or interest could bring you together with people who are strongly interested in making changes in the world.

We assume the UNUSUAL New Friends mean: Rick, Shane, Carmen, Terri, Rebecca, plus all our new Facebook and Twitter friends. Shane and Rick, both have already started changing OUR lives. THANKS Guys! They both have already directly and indirectly made positive influences affecting millions of other people’s lives… including yours. We pray that God continues to use them both to make the world a more peaceful place to live… After all GOD IS LOVE!

We seek and are listening to God’s still small voice for wisdom, guidance, discernment and direction for our lives. Take our hands and lead us Precious Lord.

LOVE & PRAYERS TO ALL

Whitney Houston

Watching Whitney Houston’s funeral. Blessed hearing the gospel through word and prayer. Praying for her family and friends. Especially her daughter Bobbi Kristina. Can only imagine what she is going through. Hope she can deal with all her emotions, feelings, anxiety, worries, and conqueror her demons,IF she has any. I truly believe the Lord can help her become a strong, determined, and focused young woman. Dealing with this tragedy will be difficult but not impossible. For all Things are possible with God. My thoughts and prayers are with her.

God Bless Whitney, Bobbi Kristina and Their Families,

Excited!

Angela

So many wonderful things going on in our lives….

I have lost 110 lbs and Rosie has lost over 175 lbs. She is sore from her hernia repair. Hope to get her up in her wheelchair tomorrow. Made her rest all day. She is eating so much better. Still in small quantities. At least she is not nauseated nor vomiting now. Praise The Lord.

I have so many new friends on Facebook and Twitter. I love em all dearly. Cher is even following me!

We no longer play Farmville.

Love our new dog SnickerDoodle (Longhaired Miniature Dachshund) He is blond with copper nose and eyes. No one has ever seen one like him. He is so precious. Sleeps with me and worships the ground I walk on.

Smoki (Cairn Terrier) is buddies with Snickers. Even our Cats LOVE him: Panther, Jazzi, Punkin, and Tater.

Hope to head to Gatlinburg /Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville this weekend.

Rosie goes back to see her surgeon on the 22nd in Knoxville.

Plan to go to West Virginia next month.

Rosie and I have become friends with RH a music promoter/energy company CEO/ political adviser/ Doctor/ and all around decent Christian man. Also friends with SJ who is RH’s CFO. Friendly with a lot of their friends. They all have accepted my friendship with open arms. They give me so much love and support. They have helped me gain confidence and self-esteem. MAY GOD BLESS THEM ALL!

Rosie and I have some exciting news but we are not at liberty to offer any details as of yet. Waiting to hear the decisions they have made. WOW! I can’t wait.

I have never been this excited about anything compared to the way I feel now… I am starting to love and enjoy everything that God has blessed me with… looking forward to see what else is coming my way. Rosie is just as excited as I am.

Receiving all sorts of messages from men wanting to date me… undecided. Waiting for the Lord to guide me.

So glad that Rosie did well with the hernia repair. I am so blessed to have her as a sis and as my best friend.

Still close to John. We webcam chat daily. Such a major supporter of me. Without his encouragement I would not be the woman I am today. THANKS BabyLove!!

Allergy shots tomorrow IF Rosie is able to sit up and get in her wheelchair.

Snickers is eating a granny smith apple. Carrying it around. So cute.

Excited about the upcoming Elections. I am a proud liberal Democrat !

 I believe in Equality for everyone!

I have lost 2 lbs in the last 365 days… but have lost 5″ from my waist! HAPPY DANCE!

Missing all my WV cousins. Love all of you. Hope to stay in a Cabin at Twin Falls Resort next month. All of my family is invited!  Had a blast last time.

Not having as many panic attacks as I use to…. BUT when I do they are nasty…. flushed face, severe sweating and the shakes. UGH!

Still having flare-up from my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. That will probably never change. Trying to cope and deal with it. Extremely tired tonight. Been having Fibro Fog. I hate it so much. My mind works in slow-mo at times. So forgetful.

IBS is under control. No accidents in months.

Diabetes treated only with a pill. Been off insulin pump for months now.

So hopeful for my future. I surrender to God. Everything. Total. All of me. Use me. Guide me. Give me Patience, Wisdom, Hope, Faith, Trust, Love, and Health. I ask that for me, as well as my family and friends. SERENITY.

GOD IS LOVE. ♥♥♥

Rosie UPDATE 3

Rosie will be released from the hospital as soon as she urinates. Hopefully in the next 30 min or so.

She is HUNGRY… first time since her gastric bypass surgery July 26th, 2010.

She has NO nausea.

No yuckiness.

Just pain from today’s surgery.

She is still drowsy.

Dad is SNORING!

My tailbone is achy from sitting so long.

Hope to make my  next update when I get home.

May just go to bed.

Not easy getting up at 4am … when that is your usual bedtime.

Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers.

Much appreciated.

Love,

Angela

Rosie UPDATE 2

Rosie is out of surgery. It went well. It was a medium size hernia. Repaired laparoscopically. We will get to see her in about an hour. If she feels OK she gets to go home. :-)

Surgeon is AMAZED at her weight loss. Wants her to eat more protein and take her vitamins.

Just hoping that she now can eat without having nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Thanks for your prayers.

Hoping that we are going to be home this evening to watch WESTMINSTERS DOG SHOW.

USA Network at 8 pm Tonight and Tomorrow.

Rosie’s Surgery UPDATE 1

Nurses and Doctors both failed at getting an IV started. Last I heard they were putting in a central line. She is in holding, Surgery should be starting any minute. She is having laparoscopic umbilical Hernia repair ONLY. No tummy tuck. If things go as planned. Surgery will take about an hour. She may even get to go home this afternoon. I am hopeful. She was feeling so nauseous this morn. Weak and tired… Hoping the hernia repair will take care of all her issues. I love my sissy.

I have had  a panic attack for almost an hour. I am drenched with sweat. Finally calming down, still having the shakes.

Praying that the surgery goes as planned and Rosie gets to come home today. That would be awesome. I bought enough clothes and snacks for a 3 week stay… which is what it was last time. Don’t have your Dad pick out clothes to bring you! LOL! Last time he brought clothes that were too big for me or some of the clothes I wear to piddle around the house. UGH!

I  don’t have computer access to facebook nor twitter. Hospital has it blocked. :-(

I posted a message by phone to facebook and one to twitter earlier this morn. Not sure if they went through or not.

Keep sending prayers our way.

Thanks and God Bless You All,

Angela

Update on What has been going on in OUR LIVES.

BY ANGELA

Well, Rosie is doing ok. Has a blood clot in her left leg. It has been swollen and painful. It is only superficial.

Her umbilical hernia has been repaired twice in 10 years. It will be repaired again on Monday at ParkWest Hospital, and she will be also having a tummy tuck. She has lost 15″ off her waist now. Dropped over 175 lbs. She even has lost 3″ off her neck. She has had a few good days. Her intestines are poking out from the hernia. Looks weird…. you can see it move and all. It causes her to have nausea. She has actually ate the past few days. She goes days without much nutrition at all. Just doesn’t want to eat. Hoping the hernia repair makes her less nauseous. I love her so much. She can now wear size 8-9 panties! Smallest shirt has been a 14.

She will be fitted for a new electric wheelchair in June. She is so excited. Her current chair sucks! Gonna try and see IF she will fit in our Mom’s old electric wheelchair tomorrow. Hope she can. It would be much more comfy for her. She has been wheelchair bound since she was 16. Can’t walk at all. She can stand for about 10 sec. Rosie will be 45 in May. She is perhaps the happiest person I have ever met. Proud to call her my best friend and My Sissy!

Had another CT SCAN on my tummy and nothing abnormal was found. Even though I have not lost any additional weight My waist is down to 35″ now. Was 40. Guess I am STILL Shaping up. I have lost 110 lbs. My hips are 38″ without measuring the excess skin hanging from my tummy.  Smallest dress I have worn is a 10. I am gonna lose a few more pounds and somehow TRY to get my insurance to pay for a tummy tuck. WISH ME LUCK!

Still having aches and pains from Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Shoulders, Thighs, Knee’s, Elbows, Hands and Feet. Seems that will never change. Insomnia is not as bad. TRIED sleeping without my sleep meds the other night. Finally gave in and took em at 6:30 am and slept like a babe. Wish I didn’t get so tired, so easily.

I have made a few more friends via Twitter and Facebook. Some I consider dear friends. I am blessed. Panic attacks have lessened. Doing my best to become more outgoing. Being more receptive to men.

Sending special prayers to Brandy,  John, Dreama,  Bret,  Shane,  Chrissy,  Stephen,  Janna, Russell,  Carmen,  Rebecca,  Terri,  Sara,  Becky,  Charles,  Shay,  Blake,  JR,  Sue,  Earlene, and Rick.

♥ LOVE U ALL ♥

I know that this year will be MY YEAR!

My moods swings have stabilized for now.

I started allergy shots a few weeks ago.

Still close to John. He gives me so much support, encouragement and serenity.

I am more confident than ever. I even go out grocery shopping without any makeup.

Receiving lots of attention from the male species. Loving it. Receiving just as many flirts when I have no makeup on as I do with full Drag-Queen makeup.

Grateful that I don’t look 46. Some people think I am in my early 20′s….. love that!

I cut Rosie’s hair in a medium length shag. First time we curled it was tonight. Can’t wait to see the results tomorrow.

Plan are to go to West Virginia in March. All depends on Rosie’s recovery.

Dad is taking THE BOYS “Smoki and Snickers” everywhere we go”.

Our life is good and is only gonna get better!

Hopefully over the next few months we will be able to share some very exciting news and changes happening in Our lives. We have High Hopes.

God Bless You All,
