    Default Packing is not longer a PAIN!

    So it's my Spring Break and we're in the hot south visiting grandkids, with a new one on the way ANY DAY. So fun. Baby better show up while we are here.

    I was so busy with school I hardly had time to pack. I just got my shorts down from where they were put away for the winter, found some matching Tees, and threw them in the suitcase without trying on a thing. Everything fits! AMAZING. In the past, every season I was a different size. Now I can just put on clothes from last summer like a regular person! And I love being a regular person. Thanks sleeve, you're the best.

    Enjoy your family and the sun! seems like you're doing better? I hope you will get to meet your new addition to the family very soon!

    So far I have not reached my goal but I'm almost at my surgeon's "prediction". My size is pretty much the same since October, but I noticed yesterday my jean was started to be too big again. I can't wait to be at the same weight for months and not have ten sizes in my wardrobe. I was always changing sizes, even before becoming pregnant then obese. When I was "slim" I would be smaller in Winter and bigger in Summer. Like size 6 in Winter and 10 in Summer. Was weird. So I don't know what the cat will bring next year...hopefully at some point I will be able to reduce my wardrobe drastically and get rid of all the big sizes..

    Still in the cervical collar, but the ribs are so much better. I can take a deep breath without pain! Had a neck X-ray after 30 days and doctor said it was healing nicely. Around April 10th I'll have a CT scan, and hopefully get out of the neck brace then.

    First I was totally crabby about the brace, but then I read about C2 fractures online, and learned they typically result in death. So that totally changed my attitude for the better. This week I've started doing a little walking, just have to be careful seeing I can't look down very well.

    Thanks for your concern!
