Home and doing good

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.  I am home and doing well. 

I did have a bit of a scare.  My blood pressure dropped rapidly yesterday afternoon and they could not get it back up over 81/44.  They thought it might be internal bleeding and called the surgeon back.  She is amazing by the way..... Dr. Bergman found that I was passing large clots thru my drains and not getting enough fluids.  Yes, even on IV's I was dehydrated... imagine that.  LOL

Then they bumped up the IV and had to lay flat.  I blacked out and my pressure dropped even lower when sitting up.  So I started drinking lots of water and praying.... and by 4 am... I had a normal blood pressure and finally got to take my first walk.

The surgery was about 3 hours long and she did a great job.  Even swollen it looks wonderful.  I am so pleased.  She suggested that if I was ok to give up my belly button, she would do my upper abs too.  I really needed it.  So I didnt hestitate.  I am proud to say it looks amazing and I feel very blessed.

I would recommend her to anyone considering plastics.

Huge hugz,
Tracy

Thanks to God you are well and home now.  That sounds very scary.  Heck, who needs a belly button, if you really want one draw it on with a sharpie!

the something that I can do.

Tracy, I am glad you are ok. I am so happy for you. I may be in the market for plastics one day.... when I finally hit my goal. I have been a slacker but, I am back at it and going strong!
Be Well  : )
