Finally things are geting back to a semi-norm.........

Sorry I haven't been on here but I just now am getting back to being myself. My surgery went a bit haywire. My pouch popped a stitch and somehow I ended back in surgery. Things got bad enough i became septic and my kidneys and bowels shut down. I'm told they lost me on the table but once i became stable they put me in an induced coma for 3 weeks. this was a freak happening. it was nobody's fault. but God isn't done with me yet so here i am. if you have any questions please feel free to ask. i've been home for 2 weeks now. i spent almost 3 months in the hospital. i've lost 50 lbs so far though!

Hi Becky, Saints be praised you are still with us. What a way to lose the 50 pounds though. Do you have any regrets? I am glad to see you back!!! May your recovery now be swift, painless or almost painless, and full of joy!! God Bless!!~~Lise

Wow, Becky, glad you're getting back to normal! I also had some problems after surgery, staples didn't hold and I became septic, too, but I think you've been through a whole lot worse than me! I was out of commission between the hospital and recovering at home for about 2 months, but these last couple of weeks have been great. I'm almost back to normal, have a lot more energy than ever, and have even joined a health club -- doing water aerobics 2 to 3 times per week and working with a personal trainer on weights. Hang in there, Becky! You'll be surprised how fast things will start getting better and how good you'll feel!
