I've read and looked and visited and decided to go with the Gastric Bypass surgery instead of the Lap-Band. Higher risk during surgery, lower incidence of long-term issues.
Am living in Copperas Cove with Chael, have been for several months. It's totally podunk, but it's nice to be with him and I have MUCH better VA care here than I did in Dallas.
Just got back recently from a trip to my parents' and Camp Crucible. Was great to hang out with all of my House, Delta Sigma, and to see the beauty of home again. Went wine tasting with mom and sister.
Step-father lost his mind on my sister's daughter one night, totally apeshit and abusive, yelling bad names at her, mocking her crying, etc. Unsure if I'll go back and stay with them again, at least not again without my car with me so that I have an out. As it was, I was trapped there... it ruined the entire rest of my trip, having to see him and act like nothing happened, since that's how my mom and sister handled it and I had no way to leave til they put me on a plane a week later.
I don't want to see him again. But have no current issues with mom and sister that would keep me from visiting, so is tricky.
Am going to see Transfomers 3 with Chael tonight, plus go by Sally's for hair bleach and dye. I'm feeling up to re-coloring my hair, finally, so need supplies.

Home and Appendectomy
Will have more to say when I can sit comfortably upright for an extended time to type. Right now I am typing on Chael's old laptop while lying on my back in a makeshift sickbed.
General summary: 2 weeks at parents' house finalized by an unexpected appendectomy in MD after pain began during my drive south. it was laproscopic so I'll likely not have any good scars, but I should be healed soon.
Also, I got my 100% -schedular rather than the Individual Unemployability status I'd put in for!- VA rating for my military-related health issues. Yay. Not "complete and total" as there's the possibility for improvement. So good things there!
Bought me an iPhone as the one celebratory, excess, just to make me smile item... although it's not actually excess or just to make me smile. It's already handling my scheduling of appointments, has alarms set for my med times, and so on. Fun and helpful, it's a good little gadget.
All for now...

Long time, no update
General update of the last couple months:
I've been ill and largely non-social, and have put pro-d session indefinitely on hold. Am getting back into things and getting back in touch with folks now.
I've attended a couple of local social/BDSM events and am planning to attend one this weekend, it's on fire/ice/wax play. Not sure if I'll be attending the after-party; I'd like to but I still get tired pretty easy yet.
Things have been going well with the domestic and we've made great leaps and bounds recently on the front yard; it should be presentable and just waiting for baby grass to become real grass starting in about a month. He has offered to install a permanent sprinkler system for me and after speaking with my spouse I've told him he is to do so. I mix physical and power play with "normal" everyday activities as my general tendencies, but we've just started specifically with devoted scenes. We've had two so far, only one of any real intensity and that was more a familiarization with his responses (physical and behavioral) for me. We've yet to really get into it at all, but we're moving that way. All together, I am pleased with both his service and the beginnings of our play.
Have thrown out to Moki the idea of a "girly-night", getting together and just chilling, chatting and doing whatever we feel like away from folk over at my place. We've not hung out in months due to my not feeling well. Have another one or two I'm thinking to invite over, too.
I've toyed with but am not serious about the idea of starting a TNG group in the area to extend our local community, since the primary group does not allow anyone lower than age 21 and many in their 20s are uncomfortable joining a group where all adults aren't allowed and where the average member age is older than their parents. I'd not want to have it separate from AIRS, but rather just another group that intermingles those who wish to but is open to all of legal age. But reality is that my life is not such that I could head and arrange such a thing, at minimum with no thought to other considerations I live in a military household where we are in our "window" for orders... meaning we could be told to be ready to move in 30 days or still living here 6 years from now.
Instead, I'm thinking I'll maybe throw an occasional private party/hang-out, with basically the same arrangement as described above since it would be a private party rather than an established group's event; 18+ and just open to anyone I'm okay having visit my home. My house is pretty small so there isn't a huge play available, but with friends who are comfortable and casual such things can be worked out... it's not tiny, just not huge.
I've started learning Spanish plus am refreshing and trying to extend my German.
So that's the randomness of the past 2-3 months. Hopefully I'll soon be back to my normal self and have more interesting things to talk about again. Life has largely been on hold!
