Hello Fellow OCC'ers,

Here I am 3 days into week 36 which for me ends this Friday 3/29.
My last entry was at the end of my 6 month anniversary on week 26 January 18, 2013. After that, I decided to go off of my regimental OCC blogging, personal journaling, calorie tracking, way of being and merge myself back into a 'new regular' routine. I...

Surgery was easy breezy!  I never had a surgery that went so well.  I had one pain pill only because my Mom wanted to go walking and I was feeling a little uncomfortable so I took a pill to get me through the walk.   I LOVE my nurse Patti; she is such a jewel.  I wished I could have brought her home with me.

Ok, here is the problem; Mom and I both...
