swimming with dolphins

This was my second time in the water with the dolphins. Though this was my first time actually swimming the dolphins at the Atlantis. I swam with Cosmo. I love dolphins. The only thing that scared me was actually swimming and in 11 feet of water. First I took a bunch of pictures petting the dolphin. I got to kiss the the dolphin too, at least it was a boy. Then I was giving a boogie board. Then Cosmo pushed me around with his nose. It tickled, though you can not let go of the boogie board. Next I was giving snorkeling gear to go under the water and watch the dolphin. I also had a scooter fan. This was scary a drop. My glasses fogged up, I almost let go of the floating fan. The guy though was in the water helping us. After I jumped out. Then I was told OK you can go back in and swim more. I jumped right back in. I love dolphins. I was facing my fear of the deep water.  swimming with the dolphins was a great experience. Atlantis in the Bahamas is pricey but worth it.

xfactor experience

Most of my friends know I auditioned for the xfactor season 3. It was a great experience. This blog is going to explain the whole audition process  Day 1 starting at 7am everyone must line up to get a ticket to audition and a wristband. The line was insane. People camped out or waited on line for hours. I say I waited at least 2 hours. I got there late in the day. I picked up my ticket , got my wristband. After you go home.  Day 2 good morning early. Everyone starts lining up between 6-7am. By 7am you better be excited, be up, and jumping. They started filming us singing and dancing outside the arena. This is where they had say we got the xfactor. It was awesome I met a bunch of people from some many states that traveled in. Others that have auditioned in the past told me there experiences also.  Finally we were let into the arena. Everyone was seated. I was there 7am-7pm. Make sure you eat, drink, sleep and are ready. They started auditioning, each section was brought down

Balloon Dilations

Let me talk about after Nissen fundolpation surgery a problem that can occur. Sometimes after the surgery your surgery wrap might to tight, or sometimes you might just have a narrowing in the esophagus. A gastro Dr might suggest if you cant swallow food without it feeling stuck , to have a balloon dilation. This is done the same same way an endoscopy is done. Though at the end of the tube they have a balloon that will stretch your esophagus. I had this done prob at least 5-7 times. This you are put out for . It does not hurt. Though after you might a sore throat. Each time I had it I was able to swallow food easier. Every few month starts to close up again and if I feel that I redo the procedure.

Going for surgery 3

Hey I haven't been on this in a long time . We'll I had my first nissen fundoplation surgery two years ago. Last year I had my second . Now I'm going in for 3rd . After the first everyone hopes to never have to go through surgery again . Two years after my first larascopic surgery , I went away and I started throwing up a lot. Right after I came back I went to my surgeon. I went take take an upper gi scan. I found out I had a sliding hitial hernia back again. Also that my wrap slipped into my chest. I went back in for surgery . I was told it might be done larascopic or open through chest. Both surgeons were on stand by . I had an epidural put in my back. They had problems with it coming out , I was scared. Finally after hrs they got it out . My surgeon was able to do the surgeon larascopic full wrap again. After the second surgery I was able to sit up and move around then the first one. Of course I was in the hospital 4-5 days. I had to follow the same diets as the first
