1 week post-op!

SUCH A THING! I'm anxious ONLY because everything has gone so well and because I'm feeling great (knock on wood). Everything I try, I tolerate, I'm having no problems with protein levels or fluids, I'm getting in two to three miles a day (snow be damned!), my incisions are healing well...and after crying my woes out to the gods I EVEN pooped! BLESSED BE! Thank you everyone for all your support and encouragement, especially she who checks up on me so faithfully, my delightful angel, Val In other news, if anyone's interested in additional and interchangable bracelets for their medical IDs, feel free to contact me for more info. I've been custom making them for a few people for just around cost (rather than a hundred dollars a pop!). They're selling between five and thirty dollars depending on the beads you pick. Peace! -Susane

I was JUST thinking this same thing and was going to call you! Then, my aunt called to see if Wilmington College had been cancelled for tonight and I came online... CONGRATS on your 1st week! This is the way it SHOULD go and we all HOPE it will go. I too did great until week 5 started, then I was tired a lot for about 2 weeks, after that...it's been smooth sailing. So, my dear angelette, I give you the same...from me to you! Keep up the outstanding work! About that bracelet...yes, we need to talk! One of these days I will actually get over to visit you! Take care and keep well (and warm!) Valerie

Hi Susane, I'm glad things are going smoothly for you, they did for me too. I never did that get that one month out hit the wall thing. I could tolerate just about all food and got my protein and liquid in with no problems, you are doing a great job! Now about jewlery...you are speakin my language! Do you happen to have any beads with suns and moons? My nickname ( not here ) has been Moongazer for years and I really like celestial themes. let me know whatcha got! Linda

DYNOMITE!!!!!!! ON THE POOPING. LOL On a serious note, I am sooo glad that your first week has gone so well. Sounds like you have things in order. Keep in touch and good luck Smiles!!! Julie

Hey girl!! I'm glad you're doing so well, even though w/your great attitude, I didn't doubt you would! Keep up the great work, it sounds like you are really committed. I guess we've all been through too much to get here to mess it up now, huh? I called your cell phone and left a message about a week ago, so I just wanted you to know I've been thinking about you, and if you need anything don't hesitate to call! Hugs, Bertie
