Aggravation and Elation

Aggravation is putting it mildly. I haven't been able to exercise as much as a should due to fatigue and muscle and joint pain. Besides the fact that I have been sick for the past few days and have only been eating broth and crackers.  You would think my weight would go down.  (Not so much)  I have been at a stall and it is making me feel like crap.  
I have been referred to a Rheumatologist due to a family history of Rheumatoid arthritis at a young age and other auto immune issues.  The Dr thinks I may have this auto immune disorder called Sjogrens (pronounced Show-grins) Syndrome. 
Here is some info www.Sjogrens.org.  
I have a follow up appt with the good ole doc on the 11th to get a definitive answer from all the blood work I got done.  
Speaking of blood work, All of my 3month post-op labs came back perfect, with the exception of my Vitamin D, which could have something to do with the above mentioned issue.  
Aside from my stall I decided to get myself a pair of button shorts since the last pair I had was before I was pregnant with my son(over 6 years ago).  SO....I went to Walmart and tried Just My Size 26's(which I always thought JMS ran small)  and they were actually too big!!  So I skipped the 24's and went straight to the 22's because that was the next size they had...And they fit perfectly!!  I did a little happy dance in the dressing room. My son laughed hysterically at me.  I also got a few shirts in a smaller size as well.  I just don't FEEL any skinnier when I see myself naked.  I guess it's the whole saggy skin thing, which I knew was going to come.  I mean my butt is getting saggy, I can't wear a bathing suit without shorts or skirt.  I have the bat wings going.  My belly looks horrible.  But I NOTICE the differences, like I can paint my toe nails and tie my shoes.  Little things like that.  If it wasn't for my boobs I might even be able to see my feet!! LoL!  

I guess that's enough rambling for now...OH!  I have 2 auctions on eBay for Celebrate Calcium Hot Cocoa Chewable Tablets.  120ct (30 day supply) if anyone is interested.  Pass it along!!  I just can't take them and I don't want to waste them.  They are new and sealed, exp 11/13.
