That would be TWENTY FIVE POUNDS.

25 down 105 to go.

 

12 pounds since last Friday.

 

While sore and pooped, seeing this number really made my day. I went to the support group meeting tonight, but I could not really be heard in the meeting and was really tired, so I came home early.

 

I want to thank BUBBA and to share the accomplishment with him, as without him, I could not, and probably would not, have done this.

I made an appointment with Dr C to check my throat on Monday.  He said some folks have a tough time talking for a while-usually due to a tube in the throat during surgery. I do remember trying to yank it out when I was waking up and they had to restrain me. So, that might be it.

 

I've had a number of calls today and nobody could hear me.  Slightly aggravating, but at least we have email.
