Stitches Out!

Another step today - I got my stitches removed.  I'm still pretty dizzy and stumbled around a little bit...but this is to be expected.

A crazy thing to think about:  I may be in better shape 10 days after surgery than I have in a long time.  About a year ago, I weighed in right around 300 pounds - 305 to be exact.  Today I weighed in at 262 fully clothed.  Also, my top blood pressure number a year ago was around 180.  We were considering going on blood pressure medication.  Now my top number is 120.  120 over 80  In fact, just a month ago, I was right around 150 over 80.  This is pretty encouraging news...especially seeing how I've been pretty sedentary over the last couple of weeks.
