I am Diana, age 64. Today, 1/20/13, is my 45th wedding anniversary. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a solo practice in Louisville KY. I have had six surgeries on my right knee in the last 1 1/2 years. Had a knee replacement, got a staph infection in it. Kept going back for surgery to clean it out and replace the plastic. Next to last surgery we took the whole knee out and I was in a wheel chair and could put no wait on my leg for 10 weeks. No guarantees that it would end the infection, but Praise God it did. My last surgery was in April, 2012 and I am doing really well. Started on Metabolism Miracle, which is a lot like Atkins, in October 2012 and have lost about 30 pounds. My blood sugar is better controlled, have lost a lot of inches, and I have more energy. Need to lose about 100 pounds more. I am married to Eric and we have two grown sons, Keith and Nathan. Keith is married to Layne. No grandchildren. The Holidays are over and I want to get back to work on my diet. Have joined Kentucky Girls group and looking to some good tips and discussions.
