I am home recovering!

I came home Sunday afternoon (12/24). I have not been able to do too much as I am still in pain. I pray each day gets better! I have a drain in me that comes out of the old stomach. It drains bile from the old stomach. I will have to have it for aleast two weeks, thats when I go in for a check up with the doctors. There is a little inflated balloon in the inside of the bag that is in the old stomach and I think that is what is causing the pain. I think I just have to deal until they take it out. Thank you so much for the support, prayers, concerns, emails, hugs, balloons, cards, gifts and friendship that was given to me. You are the best! Rick even got a taste of how great you are, with all the support you gave him. I don't know how long I will be out of work, pry a month or more, since they "OPENED" me this time. I do miss you all and think of you all. I can't do the steps very well (that is where the computer is at) so I don't know how much I will be on. Please feel free to call me at 610.925.3447, usually after 11am. I usually fall asleep in the mornings and late afternoons. I miss you and Thank You! HUGS and MANY LUVS Nicki

Hey sweetie - glad to hear from you - I was starting to worry you had to go back in. - So I guess you'll be at the happy hour? Just kidding! lol. Maybe I can bring Amber over to visit & cheer you up? let me know

Nicki, I am glad that you are home. Now you can get rest. You really cannot rest in the hospital. I'll miss coming in and stopping by to see you. But I am so very glad that they finally have found out what was going on with your pain and took care of it. Take care and keep your chin up. Jennifer Whitehead

Nicki, I am so glad to hear you are home and recovering! It's really been an ordeal for you! Just take it easy, one day at a time. I am sure you will do well and be "back to normal" soon. I'll miss seeing your welcoming face when I visit Dr. Iragu's for my 3 month checkup next week. You are always so positive and caring. Keep us up to date on your progress, by posting from time to time here on OH, and REMEMBER we are all out there praying for you and wishing you well. TAKE CARE, KIT
