I feel like a Mac Truck hit me, but I am alive. Special Thanks to Annett for updatin the board for me on such a last moments notice. My dear it truely shows your compassion and love of the people around you. Blessed are you for your unwavering kindess you have shown me while here.

I am doing well, still in little to no pain but that might be cause I take my pain meds right on time. Or since I have a very high pain tolerance. Dont care which it is as long as it is.

I can drink about an once of fluid every 15 mins, I am walking well, and my hubby and son doat on me like a queen. (Thank you both!!!)

My protein seems hard on my tummy so I am doing a sip of that every half hour and my water every 15. So its a back and forth thing a sip of water, a sip of isopure, a sip of water. LOL

THANK YOU all for your support and saving my seat on the bench! I am so thrilled to be here.

BTW I went into surgery at 258 finally breaking my four month stall LOL...

God bless our troops

Katrina,

You are so very welcome.  I am always willing to help if I have the time.  This was no biggie for me but for you it was and just glad I could be there for you.

You are well on your way, and in time you will be able to sip a little more.  For now your tummy will tell you yes or no.  Good job on the walking part.  This will really help with gas if you have any. 

As for your hubby and son doating on you, let them treat you like the queen you are.  You will be back up and at it in no time.  The energy you will regain will blow yours and your families minds.  I love the energy I now have as does my hubby.

Looking forward to seeing you at a coffee sometime soon.

Congrats again and welcome to the losers bench.

Alrighty, you all have been here before, not so much for me.
Sleeping, I cant sleep in my bed, it hurts to much to lay down. I am a side sleeper so its a no go on my back and my stomach tries to kill me when I lay on my sides. So I am still sleeping on the couch. And I tell you its not all that comfy.

God bless our troops
