Checking In

Hi Everyone,

I'm out of the hospital and at my hotel.  Surgery went fine,  Today I am really feeling it.  Some Nausea and tiredness having a little trouble getting the liquids in.   Plus, San Francisco is cold!  I did a bullet this morning and am trying to do another one right now.

I think the biggest problem was that Walgreen's doesn't accept my Kaiser insurance and when I went to pick up my prescriptions it was very expensive so I only got the pain medication.  Hoping I can hold out until I return home to get the rest,  with my co-pay, although I might have to break down and get the nausea medication. 

Glad to hear HiGurl and Sara did well also. 

I met two other Hawaii families who are here, both from Kauai.  They were so great to me, especially since I had to travel alone.  You are never alone with your Hawaii ohana around!

Congrats! Glad all went well.  Rest up and feel better soon.

Mahalo for the update, Keala. Sorry your a little yucky, but you'll be bouncing around soon. Make yourself walk around the hotel. I thought it was cold in SF, too!!! I layered my clothes, but it wasn't enough! So, I confined much of my walking to indoors around the hotel.

Keep sipping, too. I mix my bullets with SF Kool-Aid to improve the taste and texture.

Stay rested and don't over-do! Congratulations on a successful surgery! ((hugs)) Let the journey begin!!!!!

Congratulations Keala!

Thanks for the update and I'm so happy for you that everything went well.

Hope you feel better soon and stay warm.

 Congratulations Keala!

I know it must be hard to be there alone, but you'll soon be home.  Keep up the good work with trying to get that liquid and protien in.  

I was wondering if there is a Kaiser pharmacy near by (even if you have to hire a courier) to get your other meds.  Call the Doc's office and Kaiser themselves to see where you can get them filled before you come home.  Feel better and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Aloha,
Nicole

Congratulations Keala, stay warm and I hope you feel better soon.

Woot! Woot! Congrats.  Make sure you get the Nexium card.  It will save you some extra money.  This is going to be one hell of a New Year!!! Merry Christmas to you!!

Aloha,

YEAHHHH!!!!  I am so happy for you.  I am glad that you are doing well.  Myself and HiGurl had the best time walking in the hallway and I am so grateful to her and her family.  I truly understand "ohana" now.  Keep up the great recovery. Sara
