So I have two pieces of news to share. Both are equally exciting for me so not sure how I should rate them. I suppose since this blog is about my journey I should note that I finally have a surgery date and that's the most exciting!
That's right, mark your calendar - Thursday, October 27th. Even better they have modified the pre-surgery diet and so it will only be four total weeks instead of six. The first two are two liquid meals and one normal healthy low calorie meal. Then the last two weeks, just before surgery, are liquid only. Considering the pressures and stress of my job lately, I wonder if the liquid diet includes margaritas and martinis. If so, I'd rather it be six weeks!
Speaking of work, the second big and exciting news is that I am finally a published author. While I know this blog is technically published, and brilliant as it is (ha ha), I think my article in the NAHAM Access Management Journal actually qualifies as a true publication. I'm really proud it was selected for publication and since you aren't likely to pick it up at the newstand I feel like I need to toot my own horn.
Anyway, that's about all for now...oh wait, one funny thing...I told Dr. Vicknair about the convenience store (last post). He thought it was great that I went to the "crack" house and came out clean. I did relapse and return for some diet coke a few days later, but at least I am admitting my problem, which is step #1. When I get to whatever step is apologizing to folks you have hurt, I'll post my apology to those of you suffering through this blog.
