Sweet and boring life of Natalie

So here whats been happening.

I am a medical child. I have a heart murmer, no thyroid gland, broken some bones before, skin problems.... do you want me to keep going?

Well lately I have been seeing my cardiologist and they have said that my heart condition has up graded in severety from mild to moderate. NOw that may not seem like a lot, but it scares me. THey said that I need to exercise and eat right.

Also, I have had surgery almost a year ago. They took my thyroid out. With that surgery, I was told you either gain or loose weight. Well with they way things were looking, it seem that i was gaining weight. Here we are almost a year later and my surgeon finally let me go and found we an endochronologist. I asked her if weight loss and thyroid surgery was true, she said, NO THAT IS A MYTH.

Well, I have taken all these doctor's appts seriously and as a MAJOR wake up call that i need to take time for myself and be active. I have been at it for almost 3 months. So for things are looking really good. If our scale is right, (it is a pretty old scale) i have lost some weight. THere is hope. I am sorry I am bragging, but i treat my blog as my public journal. My goal, go back to the heart doc in july and here them say, weight is down and things are looking... either the same, or.... things are looking bettter.

What else is happenign? I am obsessed with the NBA this season. I love the celtics. And they are ranked 2 in the league. I feel really bad for the jazz. They have so much potential but are really struggling right now.
I love Glee. And can't wait to go to the concert in May.
School is rough but I am finally figuring out how to study.
Primary is fun

I'm sorry if this is really creepy, but I hit the "Next Blog" button on my blog and saw this. I have thyroid problems too, so it was kind of nice too see this. Hope all goes well for you. :)

Your are a strong healthy niece -- don't worry so much, get a pedometer, and walk 10,000 steps a day. Also, talk to Preston. He has lost like 30 pounds.
