The Last Resort

"The slate will soon be clean. I'll erase the memories, just to start again with someBODY new..." Queen


Before I tell you the real reason I came here tonight, you wanna know something amazing? It took Larry and I almost 10 years, 6 kids, 9 cars, 8 homes, countless tears and laughter beyond infinity to come to realize something....each other! I got more insight into that man during the 3 weeks he was here on sick leave than I ever have before. Not only that, but he has called me every single day since he's been back on the road. Do you know what this means? It means he loves me. Or rather, it means I finally excepted the fact that he could and probably always has. We made so much love in those 3 weeks! And I'm not just talking about sex. We had conversations. Real conversations. And for the first time in our entire life together, I laid in bed next to my husband in bed naked and had not a care in the world. Usually I can't even change my shirt if he's in the room. I was so liberating, I laid there and cried myself to sleep. To finally realize that the person you married is not just your husband or wife, but the person who God created just for you is His image. There was a moment during our last night here before he went back to work that I swear our hearts were beating at the same speed. I wallowed in the guilt of having not realized these things a million years ago, but only for a moment. Just long enough for God to let me know that He doesn't want me to look to the past, He wants me to relax and enjoy the gift that is today. *Ahhhhhhh*
So, thank you for letting me share that right quick with you. And thank you, Jesus, for allowing me this time to get to know my precious husband. (Amen.) And thank you, Larry, for just being who you have always been.


OK; real reason......

A couple of Saturday's ago, we went to 'New Hope Bariatric Center' and sat in on a seminar explaining the 'LapBand' & 'Gastric Sleeve' surgeries.

I think I'm leaning more toward the sleeve. You'll have to forgive me for not going into depth, but I've thought and thought and talked and talked about this until even I'M tired of it!! So, here's what I'll do, if you'd be willing to do a little homework assignment for me. I'm gonna leave a link to the website. If you go under the "procedures" tab, it has a video and several paragraphs explaining each one. I'd love to know what you think are the pros and cons of each one.

Don't get me totally wrong...I DO have more to say on this, but I'm just kinda drained from talking about it. So, I'll leave here for a few days. If you want, you can read or watch what they have to say about the 2 procedures. I'll then check back in a few days to see what kind of insight awaits me, then I'll open another blog and let you know what I found out. Sound good?

Thank you all so much!!
