Of all nights!  PMRI has a seminar and I was asked to be a guest speaker (or just a person that has had the surgery)
at the meeting at the Christiana Hospital.
Oh well, maybe in February...

Late entry as it is now Wed evening.  Boy is it cold!  15 degrees here and I see that it is 29 in Millsboro.  I will be down to my beloved house this weekend.  Cannot wait!  Hope all are well.

Tuesday was a little rough.  I have come down with the sinus infection/cough thing and feel like crap.  I bought some Mucinex DM and it does work but every time I lay down, my head stuffs up and I can't breathe.  They make a Mucinex for nasal/sinus congestion too.  It's pretty expensive but if the product gives me some relief, I'll pay the price.

Sarah and her husband both got hired at Allen Foods in Harbeson and they start Thursday, with orientation.  The doctors have also diagnosed Sarah with borderline personality disorder so at least we know why she behaves the way she has been lately.  Therapy and medication will help her.  She has always been "over-dramatic" but now that she's an adult and has 3 children, she has to get a grip and realize it's not all about her anymore. 

I made ham steaks, fried potatoes, and corn for dinner last night.  I can't taste anything and don't really have much of an appetite.  I tried to eat some but could only take a few bites.  I had plenty of fluids though, and I chew alot of ice.  It keeps me hydrated without making me feel so full.

Hi Diane,
I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with your stitches.  I wanted to let you know that I too, had problems with dissolvable sutures.  My body rejected every single suture the surgeon put in.  Infections and abscesses were part of my life for over 8 months after my tummy tuck and breast reduction.  It was already known that I had an allergy to Vicryl sutures and the surgeon assured me he would not be using Vicryl.  The sutures used on me looked like barbed wire.  I contacted the manufacturer just to let them know what happened to me, because these things were developed originally for facial surgery.  If what happened to me were to happen to someone's face, they would be disfigured for life from all the extensive scarring from abscesses.  I pulled literally hundreds of lengths of sutures from all of my incisions for months.  It is now in my permanent medical record that I am to never have sutures unless they are life or limb saving.

Hello Delaware,
Well it is almost midnight and it has been a very long day.  I went to Dover to take Doug's neice to see Dr. Wynn (they now have office hours on Wednesdays from 12-4 at Eden Hall Medical Center).  She was there for her 1 month check up from the lap band and had her 1st fill.  Friday I get to take her to Wilmington to PMRI for their check up.  That's OK because I need more Unjury plus my friend needs some food from the Polish meat store. 

Doug's mom is having a really bad today and we are all still awake.  She feel asleep earlier and woke up thinking it was the next day.  It is sad to see her so confussed like this.  Life after the 5 day pouch test is still going strong.  I am very in touch with my pouch again.  Well looks like we are off to Easton Hospital now for Doug's mom.  Please say a prayer for her.

Deanna

Christ in you the hope of Glory!!!!

There is a good support group meeting at Victory Church near Wilton in New Castle the 3rd Tuesday of the month @ 7:00 p.m.  Next meeting is Jan.20th.  It's been 4 years since my surgery - these support group meetings help me stay on track.
