Thanks alot guys, I feel so much better when I got up early and hit the gym today.  Why is it so hard to go and once you're done, you feel so good.  Thanks for all the encouragement. 

Thanks

Thanks, I got my surgery date on Aug 27,2012 in Edmonton.  How are you doing?  Sorry you had a hard time with the co-ordinator.   That must have been hard.  Looking forward to seeing you again

Thanks

 hi there, i was originally booked to stay there a whole week, i left on monday the 4th ans was to fly home the night of the following monday. i ended up getting releassed from hospital on the friday, i was in for 4 days, then i flew home on the saturday night. the hotel rocks when you feel ok, but so much better to get home! i was soooo home sick missing my hubby and daughter that i didnt ewant to wait around till the monday. it was affecting my mental health. so i left early. dont know if i should have though.... meeting for coffee sometime would be great, what days and times work for you? for me evenings and weekends would work, if not i will try and make it to the next m&g, and i can tell you all about it. 2 words of advice, at they very 1st sign of constipation take something!!! call edmonton and get their advice or do what i did and start dosing milk of magnesia, just stay close to the biffy. do not let your constipation get out of hand. i got so bad i was sweating crying and shaking for 2 hours at a time in the biffy with no relief for 4 days! it was pure hell! ive started taking a morning dose of restoralax and thats got me going normal now, phew! the 2nd piece of advice i have is try really really hard not to sneeze! it is sooooooo painful, i had about 5 sneezing fits early out and ended up blowing my muscle stitches, so im more immobile now then when i was 1st out. it smarts! other then that ive been great!, eating and drinking good, but sleeping a ton! my hours are all screwy. i sleep for 3 or 4 hours then im up for 3 hours then nap for a few, and so on. but im pretty content. im drinking a ton of milk. it goes down the best, im just worried im drinking to much of it, and getting to many calories, i havent had a journal to write in since week one, i need to get to chapters and pick one up... note to self...lol
hope you are well, ttys
