Big News...Update

I am so happy! I went in to the office to see Dr. Wynn today. The G-Tube was taken out, let me tell you what--IT HURT LIKE H---! Even after the tube was out it had a burning sensation. That was awful! Thank God, Danielle let me hold her hand and I bit my finger, because I would have scared off all the other patients. I am not kidding. The Jackson Pratt is a breeze compared to that. ANYWAYS--It is amazing I can breath easier, I am finding myself standing up straighter and having a little bit more energy. I guess if you think about it, it was a foreign object in my body and it was upsetting the apple cart. I have a hole on my stomach where it was at, she just put gauze on it and taped it up. I have to change it a few times a day until it stops bleeding/draining. I will be able to take a bubble bath in forty eight hours. Bubble bathes are my relaxing thing I like to do for me every now and then at night, which I have got to do since April. Now for the more exciting news---I will be at work Monday morning! I am going to work Monday and Wednesday morning for four hours and see how I do. Then we will take it from there and proceed to the next level the following week. In fact today, when I was there I did answer the phone a couple of time and scheduled a couple people. It sure felt good. SO to celebrate--I went to the mall and did some Christmas shopping. I was able to walk the whole mall. I haven't done that since May, what a huge accomplishment for me. Then I came home and took a rest in my lazy "girl" chair. I will take it easy the rest of the night. I just wanted to share my good news and thank you all for your continued support. I also want to give a BIG thanks for the prayers-God has truly been listening and He has been healing my body. He is such an awesome GOD! Hugs and many thanks Nicki

Nicki, I just wanted to say that I am Sooooooo glad that you are finally feeling better! We have all been worried about you. I'm glad that you are getting back into the swing of things SLOWLY. Take your time!!!! You've still got a lot of healing to do. Ken

Glad to hear you're finally on the way to a full recovery. You have had such a rough time of it! I stopped into Dr. Irgau's last Wed. to get some stuff from the store and asked about you. They said you were doing better and they sure did miss you! Just don't overdo it. Take care. Deb
