Yesterday I had some rare moments when my family was either out of the house or intensely occupied. I used the alone time for some introspection and decided to look at myself in a full-length mirror without ANY clothing. Usually when I pass the mirror on the way to the shower I am wearing a big towel. Its not all that hard to ignore myself in the mirror. I've been doing that for years. Well I actually looked at myself. I really do look a lot smaller. There is a lot of very loose skin and, gulp, wrinkles. I'm not planning to wear a swimsuit anytime soon but when I do I'm gonna look for one of those racing suits with the long legs. I'm a work in progress and I'm certainly better off than I was before my surgery.
I decided to do a random blood glucose today. I'm supposed to be doing it on a fairly regular basis but I don't. Anyway, it was 89. This was not a fasting level. Pretty good.
I'm still getting lots of great feedback and encouragement from family, friends and coworkers. Thanks for the support everyone.
Love,
Marlena of Mohegan
