What's up LJ? Been a while. I don't come here much anymore, but I am blogging actively on our Tumblr blog Beariatric about getting vertical gastric sleeve surgery.

After my last MRI the neurologist's assistant called. She said they found herniated disks at T8 & T9, and that was probably why I've been having trouble with my leg. They gave me some steroids and scheduled a nerve conduction test for today ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I woke up on a Sunday afternoon. My leg felt strangely hot. I tried to get out of bed, but my leg didn't work. I ended up stumbling my way to the bathroom where Ryan had to come help me up. We spent a couple hours telling ourselves it was just a muscle cramp or something, but eventually went to the ER. I was checked for blood clots, ( Read more... )

May take 6 weeks to recover. Even if he's better in time and can somehow work out the vacation situation, after dealing with that we'll just want a quiet ( Read more... )

In all the years I've played WoW, I never really found a class I love. I got a priest up to 60 before the expansions and it was fun solo, but healing raids was a weird mix of boring + stressful. I have an 80 warrior and have enjoyed playing him to varying degrees, but I hate fighting in groups - especially raids - because being in the middle of ( Read more... )

Last weekend was maybe one of the most fun birthday celebrations I've had. Two of my best friends from back home, William and Phil, came out to San Antonio for a visit. I hadn't seen either of them in way too long. We did a lot of eating... mercy, the fajitas alone were sinful (if you've never been to Papasito's I really can't explain the goodness ( Read more... )
