First, I am a viable option. There will be many more logistics and hoops to go through, but the MD was pleased with my records. She is going to schedule some time to chat with me and also call my OBGYN to discuss things further. That said, we have been given the go ahead to keep going!
Second, I have to lose a considerable amount of weight. About double what I have lost so far to have my screenings done. Well, as my brother said to me last week - you are the most stubborn and determined person I know so I have no doubt it will all work. There are so many silver linings with this information.
- I will get physically healthier for me and my family and for this process. Even if I don't pass the testing down the road, I will be better off for having lost the weight.
- We will all have more time to wrap our heads around everything. Things have moved really quickly thus far and while I am thankful (and so impatient), we really do need time to figure it all out.
- B/P will have better opportunities to apply for financial grants at the beginning of next year. Most of them just took their second round of applications and timing just wasn't right.
- I will have so many people to help hold me accountable to this weight loss and the utmost support to get it done over the next several months.
No matter the little patience I have, this is for the best for a multitude of reasons and I am so grateful.
On top of all of this, B got the card and bracelet I sent her this morning (so thankful considering the blue PO box I put it in last week was broken into with a crowbar). And, for those of you that don't curse, I have a potty mouth. So if you want to keep reading - be warned now. We are all going to stay positive for now and "keep fucking going" just like the bracelet says!
