35 pounds
I’ve started physical therapy for my arm. I don’t have good range of motion in my right arm because of the lymph nodes being removed and the digging they had to do. I was excited because one of the P.T.’s specializes in lymphadema so she can teach me how to get rid of fluid build up should that ever happen. Oh boy I hope that never happens.
My kids are healthy again. Yippeeee!!!
I have gained 35 pounds. Now I know weight gain is something not all people talk about, admit or acknowledge. I have the biggest sweet tooth and no will power. We’ve received a lot of cookies, cakes, bars, brownies and breads. You know when people take a bite of a bar or brownie and say “oh boy that is too sweet”. I always think they’re crazy and I could eat the whole pan. You know what people say to me? They say I look great. I feel like you could have floated me down fifth avenue during the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade. I changed clothes three times for church Sunday morning because nothing fit comfortably. Do you know what I wore? I wore the skirt that I wore to the baptism after I had TWINS! Can’t wait to get the “go ahead” from Dr. Gootjes to start really exercising and lifting things again.
I have one friend who will acknowledge my weight gain and laugh with me about it. The other day she picked me up to go to the doctor and I was walking out the door with a huge piece of chocolate cake someone made us (thanks Holly - delicious). She looked at the cake and then at me and said “what’s that for?” I said “It’s for when I need a snack. I have a fork in my purse.” Honestly it was for her husband. He likes chocolate cake so I thought I would share a piece with him.
So I could keep writing about my 35 pound weight gain or start losing it and I’m going to lose it. Wish me will power.
I see Dr. Edlund on Thursday about radiation. Maybe a side effect of it will be loss of appetite. That would be handy.

Ah Lindy…. you still make me laugh! What a great attitude to have, like always. Here’s hoping the rest of the journey is easy and flies by. Hugs! Tina

Should you stumble across a magic weight loss pill, please let me know. Lord knows I’m carryin’ around a few too many lbs! I guess that’s why I sell jewelry - it always fits
1. December 2009 at 22:40
Oh my…Lindy you are toooo funny! I am the SAME way about the sweet thing….my mother in law will say things like ‘oh I only need a sliver of that, its too sweet’ and I’m like heck no! Gimmee a big piece!
You are just so great to be honest…people love honesty!
I think you have enought on your plate and its a time of your life where you can just enjoy food….you have to have one area that is just easy! You’ll get it off I’m sure…just cut yourself some slack! You just BEAT cancer! You can work on the weight soon enough.
By the way…I just watched Biggest Loser while eating a bowl of ice cream!
2. December 2009 at 07:14
Lindy, you are hillarious… and beautiful… and refreshingly honest! Thanks for being YOU! You are a blessing!
2. December 2009 at 08:04
Okay now Lindy…you must wait until AFTER tonight as you have a your requested “alfredo pasta” coming your way along with some other goodies that aren’t exactly on a low fat diet. Don’t you worry one bit about your weight. You will have lots of time to work on that later on. You deserve an extra piece of cake or whatever sweet treat you crave after the road you have just taken. Reward yourself and the time will come for you to work on that. I love your honesty. Don’t we all have something to change about ourselves in some regard!!
2. December 2009 at 11:18
Lindy - do some research online about Wobenzym and lympedema. It’s a natural enzyme that is suppose to help with the swelling. Works great for pain and general inflamation too.
2. December 2009 at 14:38
You crack me up!! I’m very familiar with weight gain…mine is caused my menopause!!!!
Love you all!
Jana

HI Lindy:
I have the most giant sweet tooth as well. We should go out for dessert sometime!!! I say you deserve a million pieces of cake or anything else you want!!! You will have the rest of your life to go on a diet! Eat now:)

I would like to know what they tell you about the lymphadema. I had my mastectomy .. and they took another 4 nodes (they removed 14 six years ago) …. and so far it isn’t a problem, but it has only been two weeks… if you don’t mind, let me know how they tell you to get rid of the liquid.
Hope all is going well … each step of the process is getting us toward the end of the process….. I think of you often.

Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. The one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.
