Update after my doctors visit 7.5 mo out

1st it was good to see many of you on Sat - and you too Karen on Thurs. I saw Dr. Wynn Thurs and she told me the pain I am still having on a daily basis is incicional pain, the scars look fine but internally I'm still healing and the baby/uterus pulling down makes it a longer process so I just may be sore a little longer - but I am feeling better every day & less sore - yippee. She does not know what could have caused the episde of pain that sent me back into the hospital for Memorial day weekend but as long as that severe pain does not come back we will not be doing further testing. She also suggested taking 2 colace a day to help with getting me back in gear intestionally. With being pregnant & all the pain medicine I've been on recently she thinks it may help, my OB said the same thign so I hope so. I continue to hope that the bambino did not suffer ill effects of all of this garbage. I think I'll go to the OB this week just to hear the heartbeat Oh, and despite my 6 or so days of not eating while I was sick... drumroll please... I've only lost 3 lbs in the last 6 weeks!! Holy Christmas. That is scary - on the one hand we are glad the weigt is stabalizing for the sake of the pregnancy... but it is the slightest bit of a shock to have gone from losing so much month after month to not losing much of anything. Of course my #1 priority is the baby and the weight loss stop is good for the baby then I'm for it. I do pray the when the baby is born I start to lose again and through dillegent work I'll be able to see the under side of the ole 200 mark!

Hi Kathy, It was good seeing you, saturday I didn't know you were not staying, or I would have spoke. You and the baby are still in my prayers. Dana
