Update
Hiya!!
Didn’t mean to fall off the board again. Between work and therapy life is busy!
Had to chop my hair off on Tuesday. 11 plus inches gone. I miss it. We’ve cut it 3-4 times since like March so I’ve lost a lot of length. It’s still at my neck. Too thin for a cute bob like I want. I have a lot of new growth and just ordered Hair Jazz. Also, looking at wigs. I have clip in pony tails that I hope will still work and hair extensions that I hope I can clip in myself.
I get fitted for a new chair on Tuesday - I’m too small for mine and this whole thigh gap thing is totally overrated as my phone doesn’t want to stay between my legs anymore. LMAO!! #skinnygirlproblems I am excited for a new chair, but not one company has turquoise! My wheelchair guy said don’t worry about color - we can fix that later. I sure hope so! I also hope it’s not too big when we get it as I still have about 15 lb to go. I don’t k ow how much that will change me too much.
Saw my neurosurgeon and she is happy with me. Still keeping me pretty restricted. She said I might have neuropathy for the rest of my life. The fluid is going down, but really slowly! :-(
Weight is going down. Almost to the 150s!!! I fear a gain this week since I lost so much last week. 5.4 pounds.
I don’t want to scare anyone, but have been battling a cold for over two weeks. I see ID on Monday for a follow up after seeing my neurosurgeon. I’m wheezing and coughing up junk and have gone through 2 boxes of Kleenex. Coughing up a storm too. I hope it is not pneumonia or bronchitis. If it’s not cleared up by Monday I’m sure he will order tests. I also have a UTI with no symptoms other than protein in my urine. My lupus doc is faxing those test results to ID and see how he wants to handle it. I feel great so I’m not too worried. I’m a little run down at times —- usually on days where I don’t get a break from coughing. Cough syrup doesn’t help. Ugh.
Hope all is well my lovelies!!
Peace out !

Hi there Kristi!
It is great to hear from you!
Great NSV, not being able to hold your phone between your thighs! LOL
I have not heard that one yet...:D
Be careful with the bronchitis/pneumonia thing, that is not good...
But I am so happy for you with the baby steps in the right direction!
Keep that up.

Re: Update
Kristi,
Your positive attitude shines through and that’s such a blessing.
I love your new ‘do! It’s very flattering. I know what you mean by missing the length you cut off. It took me all this time to grow mine back. I threaten my hairdresser if she tries to trim more than 1/4 inch LOL
Turquoise sounds beautiful for your new chair. I’d be adding some bling!
Sending All Good Thoughts and Prayers for clearing up the coughing and a speedy recovery ;-)

Hi Kristi
So glad that are able to update us. I think your hair looks cute shorter :-)
It's Winter here and there are so many colds going around it's crazy. People are coughing all over the place. They seem to hang around too - the colds not the people!
I hope that you are feeling better soon and that your progress continues.
Lx

Re: Update
Kristi - so happy to 'see' you again! It is always such a blast reading your posts, your positive energy really does resonate from the screen. It encourages me so much. Thank you. I had to LMAO at the 'thigh gap', so over rated! You look sensational.
Sending you best wishes and cyber hugs!

Re: Update
Kristi you look beautiful. Sorry to hear about the icky bug lingering but hopefully it will go away soon. Glad to see you around. I had a long hiatus from the site due to our move and all sorts of other craziness going on. :)
