No News Is Good News (Most of the time) :):)

I am sorry for not updating sooner as some of you are probably wondering.  I am happy to report that I am very good.   We have been staying busy.  Dell had heel spur surgery and I have just concentrated on healing.  I am finished with most of my therapies at the Wellness Institute but still go for oxygen therapy and education twice a week.  I continue to take many nutritious supplements, drink my seed milk, eat my avocados (the hardest part), and drink my green juice.  I had a good chat with the doctor this week regarding my weight.  I never dreamed I would be worried about being too thin, but I am.  I was soooo afraid he would expect me to eat more avocados but gratefully he did not insist on that.  He did tell me I could add a few things to my menu to help add some calories.  Nothing yummy.  Supposedly your weight gets really low on this diet and then while still eating the same your body puts weight back on until it reaches your ideal weight.  I told him I was having a little trouble trusting that but hope it is true.  He said at a certain point we will work on putting muscle back on.  I think that I lost a lot of muscle with the DKA incident.  Right now we are still concentrating on healing.  Fingers crossed.  :)

I have not had any church service responsibilities for 2 years now.  Recently the bishop asked me to co-teach the adult Sunday School class.  It feels so good to be serving, studying, and preparing, again.
It helps me feel more normal and is very rewarding.  :):):)
