Well, lots of folks have asked and I have not updated the blog lately so here it is!
I finally got someone on the phone at Emory after four attempts. The earliest they can get me in is the end of March. So more waiting. My FAVORITE~NOT! They do have me wait listed so I will hope that someone has to cancel. I will be seeing Dr. Linton Hopkins who has been at Emory for 35 years and specializes in neuromuscular disease. I have to get a referral from my doctor and that was like pulling teeth the last time so pray that it will go easier this time.
A lot of people have asked about me going by Jenn...there is no real story here. Jennifer is my given name, Jenn has been the name I went by for almost 30 years. Jiggy is a nick name I acquired and I used her as a mask to be fake and put her on as my fake it til you make it persona. I have decided that it was time for her to go. It was time to return to the real me. Jenn. So really that is the only reason and I appreciate the effort that everyone has made in trying to call me by Jenn or Jennifer. I will still answer to Jiggy but appreciate being called Jenn.
I am still walking without the cane and this week has been particularly difficult. Our office flooded and they have all the dryers and dehumidifiers everywhere so managing all the cords, machines and having to go up and down stairs has really kicked my butt! I was quite a bit more wobbly this week than last but I am determined to not use the cane.
I am still having a lot of pain and a lot of sleepless nights so if you would pray for me on that, I would appreciate it a lot.
I am doing good with my macro diet and have lost about 25lbs. Only downside is I have finally bought jeans I LIKE and now they do not fit! LOL! I guess that is not such a bad thing but now I am afraid to buy any more jeans!
So there is an update...nothing really new. Thanks for all the love, support, prayers and compliments you all have been showering on me since I have been back. I appreciate you all more than you could know.
Love, Jenn
Holy Cow Jenn! 25 pounds is awesome! Good for you :) Losing weight is sooo hard to do and much harder the older we get so 25lbs is really a huge accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself! You are an inspiration to me as I need to lose weight too. Way to go!
