LASHONDA JONES --HOME

HI MY AMOS I AM HOME. I CAME HOME YESTERDAY ABOUT 12NOON. I AM VERY SORE BUT GLAD IT'S ALL OVER. I HURT LIKE HELL THE FIRST NIGHT THEN CAME THE PAIN MEDS AND I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH AFTER THAT. I HAVE BEEN WALKING AND SIPPING IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO READJUST TO EATING AT FIRST BUT, I TRIED SOME JELLO AND SOME GRITS ON YESTERDAY AND I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THEM. I AM A BI****ER LOGGED BUT I HAVE SWITCHED TO PROPEL FOR A WHILE AND MAYBE THAT WILL HELP. MY FAMILY WAS A LITTLE FREAKED OUT AT THE PAIN I WAS IN THE FIRST DAY , THEN I AM A DIABETIC BUT, I DON'T TAKE ANY MEDICATION ANYMORE AND WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL I WAS GIVEN INSULIN BECAUSE MY SUGAR HAD GOTTEN TO HIGH. BUT, ALL HAS WORKED OUT AND I AM FINE ONCE AGAIN. NOW IF I COULD JUST GET COMFORTABLE IN MY BED AGAIN I WOULD BE GREAT. I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED OF MY PROGRESS. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT.

LaShonda, I'm so glad you're home and doing well!! Keep on walking and sipping!!! Hugs, Nancy

Good for you..You are doing great.....I had my surgery 6 days ago and have been home for 3. I didn't need any pain meds after I got home. Am walking about every hour. I am on clear liquids for 2 weeks so it is tea. broth.gatorade and stuff like that. I understand that the surgery takes away diabetes.....Sure hope this works for you. Keep up the good work and get well real quick. Hugs Anna
