Welcome home and welcome to the losers bench too.  Each day will get better and when you move on to thicker liquids and soft/puree you will be really feeling better.  Make sure you walk and drink your fluids too.

Hang in there.

HI SHENNA,  DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT, BUT I'M GLAD TO KNOW YOU ARE HOME AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PAYERS FOR HEALTHY RECOVERY. JACKIE

Well let me start off by saying that I am so freaking greatful that I am HOME!!!! I had my surgery on the 27th. Everything was good wasn't nervous or anything not even when they gave me the news that the procedure would be open instead of laproscopic!!! Big SHOCK!!!! I was like what!!!! I was so set in having it done lap. But I don't know the dr changed his mind I guess. I was already being prepped so it wasn't like I was going to jump off the damn hospital bed. So I just concented and put my fate and healing into Gods wonderful hands. My recovery wasn't too bad just really uncomfortable hospital beds!!! Uggh they are the worst. I did alot of walking as soon as I could. Didn't have problems with dehydration or protein they were satisfied but since the doc had to leave a drain by my stomach I had to stay another long long long day. It felt like the day and night turned into 40 days and nights of PURE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I finally got through the day and night came around I could not sleep!!!!!!!!!! So there I am wondering around the hospital hall like a freakin crazy insomniac!! I think I stayed up till about 3 that morning and then I was out. Which was good cause I was able to sleep part of the morning and at first they told us the doc  would be in early and then they changed it to late afternoon. UGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he ended up showing up about 12 and I was outta there a little before 2:00. OH THANK GOD!!! I have been feeling great! I think I am healing better here at home than in the hospital! I just missed my family so much and don't like to be away from them that long. My kids were also very upset because I hadn't come home and they were starting to get a little concerned so I just didn't like the whole situation. But now everything is back to normal! Somewhat well except for me having to sleep in my recliner. But its ok cause my kids are sleeping with my husband and I had my husband but my recliner in our room so we're all together as a family again. Well I did go back to work yesterday I felt good. I only went for a few hours. They needed me.....I know I know I'm crazy. I just sat there well walked there for a few hours so it wasn't too bad. The only thing was I was really tired after a while and it made the wound were my drain is at kind of hurt. So I am taking it easy today and don't think I'll be going in on Monday. They owe me one. Also one more thing before this turns into a novel instead of just a message. ( I know its not a message anymore hasn't been  atleast 1000 words ago). Anyhow, I weighed myself yesterday just to see if there was any movement it weight. Which honestly I didn't think so. But to my surprise guess what.....................I lost 6 pounds since my surgery day. I weighed 195 the day of surgery and on 1-30-09 I weighed.......drum roll please.................189!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so freaking happy!That is such a big accomplishment for me and I am very greatful even for those 6 pounds!! THANK YOU GOD FOR MAKING THIS THE BEST DECISION I'VE EVER MADE! AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE HERE BY MY SIDE ALONG WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THROUGH RECOVERY PROCESS! And I will heal perfectly and feel better than ever!! Oh and look good at the same time!!
