1 year ago today
I was in the hospital being prepped for surgery. I was scared, cried, wondered if I would even wake up again. I did wake up again. I had a tube up my nose, and a binder around my mid section, as well as a cathider. I wasn't feeling any pain, but I was extremely groggy. I remember wanting a drink, but they wouldn't let me have one. At best, I could use swabs on my lips (like I didn't cheat). I also had to breathe into an apparatus, to keep my lungs strong, and I wanted to get those dumb things off my legs. My stay was ok, with the exception of one night nurse.
Now, here I am, 1 year later, I've lost a whole average person (151lbs), and fit in size 18 jeans, and a size large top. I can also walk up a flight of stairs without needing an ambulance afterwards. I'm feeling 10 years younger, and can keep up with my son. We went trick or treating last night, and I went up and down 9 flights of stairs 3 stories each. thats alot of stairs.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a bit of my story. Hope everyone else has a great surgerversy this month.
Bright Blessings
