Blog 17: Farewell to a family member and hello 100kgs LOST!

I start off on a sad note after 16 and a half years the Cuvello family loses it's most valued member the one that always had unconditional love for us all, never judged us, never argued with us and was always there for us when we needed her.
I am of course talking about our dog Butch, a Staffard-Shire Bull-Terrier cross Bull-Terrier, I personally made the call about a week ago to have her put down, after all this time she had developed arthritis in all her legs, she was crippled by the time last week had turned up and I suggested it's time we do this, turns out today when the vet turned up she was also paralyzed in her legs and going blind.

I called mum today to confirm it had been done and she told me how the vet put her down after hanging up I cried for a while at work, left to go outside and cried a little more, while walking from the end of the street I began to cry again and when I got to the front door I fell to the ground unable to control myself, seeing her kennel and knowing she isn't there anymore ... it hits you hard when you finally realise she isn't there anymore. I stepped out back for a few minutes before dinner and said some words, those words were something along the lines of "I love you and I will miss you Butch, I am forever indebted to your unconditional love, you never judged me and were always there for me no matter how you felt you always put me first".

Lest we forget those whom we love and adore.

Hi All,

So what's been happening recently? Well I've been sick, I've had really bad stomach cramping which started off with a heck of a lot of stomach swelling which caused me not to eat for a few weeks. During these two weeks I lost 7kgs (15lbs) which has taken my total weight loss to 100kgs! *WOOHOO* my main goal now achieved and it's been 23 months since I had the operation, not that it's a competition but I think I'm in the running for gold.

The certificate I was given for reaching my goal :)

So what's next? August 7th I meet a plastic surgeon for quotes on having the body lift operations (this should be interesting) from there we can move forward and prepare for that.

So back to my stomach swelling issues, I had a gastroscopy which shows a stitch had come loose that may have caused the swelling but isn't the reason why my abdomen is cramping with stabbing pains, so I've had 3 blood samples, stool samples and now a CT scan (results should be in tomorrow), currently I'm on tremadole and panamax for the pain and working because I've ran out of sick leave, I'm running on fumes at the moment and can't keep this up much longer, I need an answer as to why I'm sick but my surgeon doesn't know yet, he's hoping the scan will show something.. anything.

As you have read Black Hayet has broken up (my band) Adam the singer (the alcoholic) has decided to take it upon himself to tell people the reason I had a go at him was because I was going through personal problems. This guy has just taken the gold for biggest jerk in my life right now, for starters he can't admit he has a problem then secondly blames someone else for his wrong doing, makes me feel my choice was the right one to make, he's out of my life for good and moving forward who knows what it will bring, but it will be better than what has occurred.

The next blog will have the report from my currently issues plaguing me and also a little something special depending how the weekend treats me ;)

Thanks for reading
Age.
