I had my pre-op doctor's appointment this morning. She basically told me I'm doing awesome. I've been focusing on eating right and losing weight (down 25 pounds now!) My blood pressure "couldn't get any more perfect" and my cholesterol is low. My insulin level is a 16, whereas it was 22 last year. I forget the numbers for cholesterol and BP, but those were also slightly elevated. Not any more! She said I'm doing great and to keep it up. Not only am I seeing a difference in how I look and feel, so does my doctor on a medical level.

The best part? The doctor thinks its just a pollop that is making the ultrasound look fuzzy. She's not concerned at all. Just go in an remove it.... I'll be back to work two days later.

So now my surgery is March 18th. I'll be going back to work a few days later. Woohoo -- I won't be spending my vacation time this year in bed! You can't imagine how much easier I feel knowing I'm not seriously sick. And now I know I won't have to "waste" my vacation time.
