Hi Kristy -  Wow!!!  Sounds like you know how to have fun!!!  I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this - not a bit of it sounds good. Glad to hear you're on the upswing.  Let us know if you need anything! Tia

Kristy, I am sorry you went through all that.  I hope and pray you start getting better really soon and that you will not need the picc line anymore. I doubted my decision for 2 months I regretted my decision but now I am so happy that I did. The first two months was the roughest for me. Wishing you all the best in your journey and recovery. hugs,

Hi you - OMG, what a time you had. I wish I would have known, I would have came and seen you. What time is you appointment on Thursday? Mine is that day to at 1:30.  I didn't have as rough of a time, but got bad post-op depression and cried all day Friday and Sat.. Thought I had made a very bad decision. I'm better now, but can't get any protein in. The most I've gotten in was 20 grams yesterday. The isopure and shakes are grossing me out! My taste changed so much in such a short period. I bet Dr. Green is gonna yell at me tomorrow about the protein =)

Oh, my goodness!  You had a rough time, too.  You are in my prayers as well.

Whoa Kristy, I am so sorry for the rough time. Anyone you want me to rub out at the hospital for you the cost is two banana protein shakes.

Hope you smiled,

Mark

Oh Kristy, I'm sooooo glad your finally home and on the road to recovery!  Your in my thoughts and prayers! Kendra

Yikes! and may the worst be over.  How are you doing now?  Treat yourself good. TraciL
