Day 10...It's been a long weekend since I last posted. I ended up in the Emergency Room Thursday night...I had a burning in both of my lower legs and numbness and it scared the %$#$# out of me.I tried to watch Conan at 11:30 and sat in my recliner thinking my time was up...My heart was racing and I felt a rush of heat go up my back, down my arms and up to my ears ! I ran into my bedroom and told my DH to call 911... :shock:

I really thought I was having a heart attack. :shock:

: The EMT's came and quickly evaluated me and felt as if I was having an ellergic reaction to something. Then my Dh told them I was on Medfiast...and I was ADAMANT that my symptoms were NOT from the MF grub !They took me to the hospital and after a whole night of tests (yes, they gave me every one they could think of), they sent me home the next morning and decided that I may have a herniated disc in my backor a pinched nerve that is causing the symptoms I was having...I have to have a follow up MRI on 2/5, to check out my spine...Whew ! I never thought I'd make it ! I am better today and am very grateful to be here... :wave:

I am NOT a drama queen and really thought my life was over...The good news is I am okay..The disappointing news is that the Dr. made me stop my MF plan for the weekend and said I could start again tomorrow, due to the strong meds that they had to give me... :cry:

So, here I go again..tomorrow is Day 1-Restart... No regrets, just thankful to be okay...
Guess What? I lost 7 pounds since 1/16, which was when I officially started !
So I am going over to roll call right now, and post my loss for almost a week on plan ! :wave:

Kate, glad you are doing better. What a frightening time!

Evening...7:34 pm...
Hint: Paying bills can be very stressful ! Have plenty of water nearby and a MF bar or MF approved snack !
This way, when you see that the bills are driving you crazy, you can grab for a healthy choice NOT a bad one !

It is a windy night here in Ct and I am giving up paying bills for the night...Work was productive and I was able to get all my bars consumed on time and had my L&G...One bar left to go and then it's time to watch The Bachelor...I know it's corny, but it is thoroughly entertaining and gives me a few laughs !

My Medifast Journey is a path I choose to take to get healthy, and prolong my life. I want to be here to raise my daughter and teach her healthy living, so she can live a long, healthy life too...

I am grateful to be here with all of you...
Have a great night !

Pam :water:

Way to go and manage stress - that is a wonderful lesson for me! :bow:

I love your tone too, making better health choices to be a mentor for you daughter.

I am wishing you well on Day 2 of the 21 days of cheat free. Hope you have a wonderful day. :wave:

Holy cow!!! I am glad you are okay, but I don't blame you for calling 911.

What up miss thing..... How is your day going.

katesmom · by **katesmom** » January 28th, 2010, 4:25 am

Day 4 ..is HERE !!!

I am hoping to get to a 10# club by Sunday...
Since I have lost 8 already, I hope it is a reasonable wish....

Up early, staff meeting at 7:50...WHY????????????

My principal sees that we are all half asleep during most of the meeting, so I again ask WHY??????????

Oh well, time to get ready for my 50 minute commute to school.... I actually don't mind it as long as I can get a cup of coffee along the way !

Have a great day all................

Pam

My first class starts at 8, our stupid staff meetings are at 7:15 and I sit there and glare at my principal the entire time because he knows how much I hate mornings. I want to switch districts just so I can sleep in some!
