Well this is my third time having to write this posting because for some reason this computer is acting wacky...sorry to make you have to suffer but I am not going to sit here again and type out 3 paragraphs of stuff so I am just going to bullet point everything I touched on in my previous attempts.

  • As of 2 weeks ago I have lost a total of 36lbs since my surgery (Feb 11)
  • I have lost approx another 5-6 lbs since that appt (my scale doesn't work properly to be accurate.
  • I have had the band filled twice, and I now have a total of 3cc's in the band
  • It was filled using a 6 inch needle jabbed into my stomach, into the port of the band which is sewn under my skin.

  • Olena still cannot ride her bike that the Easter Bunny brought, I even bought a tricycle for her to try and learn on. No luck! Any Ideas???
  • J and I did our part to boost the economy and used our stimulus check on 2 new Schwinn bikes and a bike trailer for Olena to ride in.
  • Our bikes are COOL -- they are the old style beach cruisers with the big upright handle bars, chrome fixings, and white wall tires. Mine is pearl white and J's is matt black. Very retro and we LOVE them.
  • I'll take and post some pictures of them soon.

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.  

Being brave the best way she knows how.

Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day.... O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
