Checking in after surgery...Oct 2nd

Sorry this is the first time to check in after surgery on Oct 2nd. I am doing wonderful and I am enjoying this new found life I have. Yes I do have restrictions and limits but I exercise now because I feel good and not because I should. I also feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I truely believe I can do this...not saying I did not believe that before but it is different now. I have an Upper GI in a few short hours to see if I can get the drain tube out and I would feel about back to normal almost. I am getting in more than enough water ...not sure how but I am and along with exercising 30-45 minutes on the treadmill daily. I hope that my other surgery buddies are doing well. Please keep me posted. I also wish the upcoming surgeries an uneventful surgery and recovery and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care~~ Deanne
