I took myself off of the new meds. I was in agony. I have never hurt that bad in my life. Not even broken bones hurt that bad.

I'm now getting my ducks in a row for gastric bypass again. I'm finally ready to have the surgery. I have to have six consecutive months of documented counseling and some other things before I can ask Medicare pay so I've set up appointments with Marquette General to have teleconferences. Then I have to find a surgeon. I'm hoping Marquette is on the Medicare list of approved hospitals. I'm waiting for MGH to call me back.

It's cloudy and 81 right now. I hope it doesn't get any hotter.
