257 Pounds Soaking Wet

That may still seem like a healthy fellow, but it's well under my usual weight.

This morning Mike, Matt, Laura and I shared a breakfast at the Original Pancake House here in Charlotte which has been a family favorite since we lived in Cincinnati. Mike and Matt indulged in getting Dutch Babies even though we were cautioned it would take an extra half hour of preparation.

We had the time, so let's enjoy it.

While sharing the breakfast, Laura was texted from her sister Susan asking about my weight.  I have only recently bought a bathroom scale and was not monitoring my weight at all.  I really had no idea I was losing it. 

In January, A visit to my GP weighted me in at 305 lbs.  As I now stand on my bathroom scale I'm at 257.  And yes I notice the much thinner thighs at this point. So clearly some of the weight loss was muscle but I also welcome the loss of the unwanted weight.

All that really does for me, is help confirm this is real.

I'm doing well without the catheter. I have to be a little more conscious of my bladder condition as the valves there aren't closing quite as tight as before,  so if I'm not careful, I may get a little surprise before I make it to that final foot or so to the toilet.  I expect that to improve shortly as my bladder gets used to functioning without the catheter.  So if you see my shuffling to the toilet - GET OUT OF MY WAY!  (if you please)
