Weigh-In Wednesday followed by a continued WTF update

Lost 1.2 pounds. I'll take it! I need to learn the weekend is not an effing free for all. Someone please beat this into me? Again, lots going on so its taking everything in me not to shove everything I see into my mouth. Damn that's a scary image. Anyway, I'm up to 25 minutes of running this week. 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking. I think the more running I can do, I can still cheat and lose, to an extent. So really if I'm extra good, and doing great workouts maybe, just maybe, I'll keep the weight loss coming. Slow and steady wins the race they say.

My WTF is for my other half. I spoke to the surgeon today. I kinda have new information, but nothing definitive. I spoke to the surgeon and he said we would not see the coils on the u/s, and that its really difficult that the coils would have moved so that is most likely not the case. The coils are up in the abdomen so if they move, they are going to the heart. EEK.

Anyway, he said the varicocle is still filling, he is not sure why. Maybe there is another collateral vein that is causing it to fill, or some blood found its way back down since its only 90% effective or success rate.

However, he may have a slight infection, or he is feeling side effects from the varicocele even though he had no symptoms prior to the surgery. However, there is still some swelling which they are not too concerned about since in their opinion its still "early." He said to see what the urologist said, and really the only way to know how effective or ineffective the surgery was is to do a SA, which no one wants to do for another month. I put them in an awkward position but they understood we needed answers and think its asinine that we have to wait until next Wed.
