"Wow, it`s been a while."

Sorry I haven`t posted anything in a while. But, I have not been myself lately. But, I am getting much better now. My weight has dropped to an amazing 233.4 lbs. I am feeling great about that. This means I am only 13 lbs. away from what they say is my ideal weight should be for someone of my height. So I`m feeling like a star. Angel, is watching me like a hawk, she is afraid I`m going go into a daze like I did before. But, I was not myself then, now I`m much better.

What a difference a day makes!

This really happened. Very early Thursday morning, Angel found me slumped back in the computer chair, looking as if I had suffered a stroke!!! They called 911 and they came to take me away. At Tampa Gen. Hospital, It was discovered that I DID NOT suffer a stroke, it was just fluid build up in my body. Even though I was taking my meds. and going to the bathroom many times a day. I was still building up fluid in side of me. That was because I was not told about one drug I suppose to be taking. On the bottle of medical syrup it says as needed for constipation. When if they had told me that it had a real job and that was to remove toxins from my body! I would have been using those meds. just like I take everything else that is supposed to be for removing excess fluid from building up in me.I take those meds. without fail everyday!!! Angel is always making sure I have taken my meds.! Just as she is always there to make sure if I need anything she is able to make it, go buy it or cook it herself. So I have been in an Ambulance here in Tampa and really was quite the ride!!!! They were true professionals at their job. I was treated very nicely and I never felt like I dealing with dummies also, I fit well in the bed of the ambulance, unlike New York where I still heavy set and a wide load for most things called standard beds, chairs and machines such MIR`s and some xray machines. When I was in New York there were test that could not be done simply because I was the size of small house then!! So I am so thankful to God above for giving me the chance to lose a lot of weight. That at this point of my life, I am looking forward into what I can do and I feel so wonderful about life now that I know there is a real good chance I will be able to live and work again. Just knowing that I make plans and they are able to happen puts a big assed smile on my face for the world to see and makes me smile in my heart for the first time in four years. Or ever sense I was told I had cancer. I have not been the most forward looking person. My life seemed kinda lost and useless to me. I thank God for Angel and our kids, they gave me reasons to wake up every day to see about them. Even when we had such a little bit of money coming into our home then. I was seeing life as over. I could not see me ever working and earning a paycheck ever again in my life and that was the biggest thing, I could not accept that. I now have hope that I will get better and will soon be able return to work and live our lives again, puts a smile on my face and a song in my heart!!

A warm sunny morning to start my day!

Good Morning Sunshine!!
Gee, it`s a beautiful day. It`s warm in the lower 60`s right now and they say it could reach 78 degrees by this afternoon with possible thunder showers, I just love thunder and lightening. It`s my favorite thing to watch. I`m so having a good day, my weight is lower than I expected it`s 245.9 down from 251.0 last Friday. My doctor thinks that`s good so hopefully it keep going that way. There is a lot to get excited about. And I am almost giddy with excitement. Ever hear of that old song " I`m following a rainbow " that`s me right a bout now.
" I`m following a rainbow, over hills and mountains there. Oh, yeah, some body some where, one day will teach me to care. Till then, I`m running with out a care! I`m following a rainbow "
  I just love that song it`s from an old Elvis movie " I Got Lucky " where he plays a boxer that falls in love with a pretty girl and gets into trouble with her father. It`s a good movie with a great sound track. His best movie of all of them was " Charro " only one song in that movie, and was the title tune. The rest of the movie he had to really act to play the part, and he did that very well. I also love cowboy movies!!! Any of them. All of  them that starred every one. I hope there is one on now!

Making dotors appointments!!

Today I`m making doctors appointments. Okay, I`m trying to make the appointments but, I keep busy signals. So I have to keep trying. In other news, I`m losing weight like crazy I was 251 lbs. on Friday now today I weight in at 247 lbs. I`m just amazed at well these water pills are working!! I started new web site it`s just for links to all kinds places that can people save money and start new projects or learn new things.

Living the simple way of life!!!

So go and visit this new site I`m updating it very often.

Head filled with ideals!!!

Ok, I need to explain something here.. I had a dream where our wonderful Country was ending up like the Countries in Europe with sky high gas prices and electric at really high prices. We, as a Nation was transported over night into the late 1800`s horses, donkeys and cattle were the mode of transport and hauling wagons and trailers. If such a thing were to happen, Angel and I would need to get to New York to gather the kids and bring them back to Fla. So I begin to have ideals of things I could build to make our trip easier and safer. As we traveled from Fla. to New York! One of those ideals was a trailer converted into a rolling camper/RV kind of thing. Six and a half foot wide by twenty three feet long. The inside would have a Bathroom with shower and toilet and sink. A bed room with a good size bed, a small closet for Angel`s stuff. Also we would have a room for dinning and cooking. So with these needs in mind, I have been watching home building and room improvement shows for ideals and advice on framing, installation and walls, also some roofing and ceiling ideals. I also thought about the lack of power, so with that in mind, I thought about RV`s and the bath room and water needs. So today, I`m online reading about those things. As for my medical stuff, I`m doing okay. My fluid build up seems to draining out of me. I`ve spent more time in the bath room than I care to admit to. But, the proof seems to be in my weight, it`s going down now I was at 251 now I`m at 249. And that`s a good thing! My normal weight is 240. So everything seems to be good. My BP is normal. I have begun to eat small meals every three hours or so. My drinking of water and such is under control, so I can only drink so much in a day. I`m happy and free of worries for the first time in years and it feels great.
