Here I am!

Hey folks!

Just wanted to pop in and say hey!

Our desk chair is not the most comfy one, so I haven't wanted to sit here since I got home, but I am here!

I am doing pretty good! Finally got most of the gas worked out yesterday and feeling a lot better this morning, just a little achey on the left side, but nothing terrible. I actually haven't taken any pain meds since Friday...I am not a big drugs person though. I have been dilligently sipping and walking! I haven't gottn all my fluids in yet, but I am making sure to get all my protein in and every day I get a little more of the fluids in, so I know I am getting there!

I wanted to say thank you again to all of you! The support I get here is phenomenal and I would be lost without you!

I hope everyone is well! I don't think I am going to want to sit here long enough to catch up on the boards, but I saw that there were some exciting things posted! Kirsten made it through surgery (OMG!) and I saw more than a few celebration messages up there! I feel so lost after just a few days away! LOL

Also, to my SP, if you read this, I got my cards in the mail, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! They are going into my surgery scrapbook!

OK...I need to go take my first set of vitamins for the day and make a protein shake!

SHELLS I'M SO GLAD THAT YOUR FEELING BETTER AND WAS ABLE TO DO A QUICK CHECK IN. YOUR JOURNY HAS NOW REALLY BEGUN, AND BOY OH BOY IS IT GOING TO BE FUN. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND DO EVERYTHING YOUR SUPPOSE TO DO. TAKE CARE AND RELAX TODAY.

congrats, Shells, on a good surgery and being a good sipper/walker!!

Hooray for you!!

best wishes,

Lori

Yay Shells!!!!!  :-)

Hey you! Happy Mom's day.... Glad to hear things are going well for you. I had trouble with the computer chair for a while too.  Keep up the great work! Sue

Just sip on your water and don't worry about getting it all in right away.  It will take some time.  Follow those doctors orders and if you need the pain meds, taken them.  I never did take any once I got home and didn't ask for any in the hospital either.  This surgery was a breeze next to knee surgery and all the other ones I had.  Now it is time to bag up all those clothes you got and wore, except keep ONE set forever to remember you the way you were.  It's a hoot to get into those clothes now and laugh. Wishing you the best, if you need anything, you can always PM me, I am around only at night for a few minutes. but I will check. Take care again, hugs, Diane

I'm so happy to hear you are doing well.  I look forward to reading about your successes on your profile! JudyAnne

Hello Shells..

I know your sick of me bugging errrr checking in on your but its what I do best. I am so happy you are doing so well..

Do not worry to much about getting all tha****er in, in time that will happen. Take a bit of time to work it all in. Between sipping, walking and sleeping, finding the time, is fun. It will happen. I promise.

Have a great night.

Now take your vitamins.

Hey Girl! I am so glad you are doing so well. Can I toss in a few more "so's" in there? Sheesh! Well, have a good time relaxing and healing up. Hope your tape doesn't get too gunky (I hated that!) and that you manage to walk around a TON!
... ok I went so some "odd" wishes for you. Dare to be different, I say!
