Im home!

Hi every one...Had my LAP rny on June 9th and I am back to work for 1/2 day this morning...thought I'd let everyone know I am alright. Not at the "happy I done this" stage yet. But I'm sure it will get better. I miss eating. Im not hungry but I WANT to eat...something. Im on my full liquids...yuck! Its hard because my husband is on pureeed and can eat chicken and tuna... As of 1 week post op I had lost 9 lbs. Dr. says its okay...looks like a lb a day. Wi**** was faster.. I had to have a blood transfusion in the hospital and ran fever every night I was in there. I had a really rough time. But Im glad I am home. Next Dr. appt is on July 1st...So I hope to have a better out look on what I have done to myself by then. (I am in the depression stage). Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support...I really needed it!! Bless you all!! cherish-Franklin, LA
