I never thought.....

Dear Jackie, I'm soooooooo sorry I didn't respond. I have no valid excuse other than I'm recovering from my abdominoplasty which was done October 27th and sometimes I post and sometimes I just don't feel up to it. But neglecting a sister, well....I should eat my stuff bunny! (that's an oh.com-michigan board joke thing)!!! With that said, I'm extremely happy for you that you are doing so well, and I am proud of you for speaking up about not getting posts after your post. It does happen, timing, sometimes and especially on the weekends, not everyone posts right away. Do not let that disourage you one bit. Hey if it were me, I'd post it again and say something like """I"M ALIVE""" and see what happens!!! You can email me any time you wish and add me to your friends list and if you need a buddy and friend and someone to talk to now and later and then, contact me. OK? This isn't the easiest journey and sometimes the support of just a couple people, or even a hundred people, make all the difference in the world. Warm smooshie hugs and sending much deserved love....

I wasn't online much yesterday but I apologize, I am only 11mo out so I know how it feels to post and not get many responses. It was not intentional on my part!!!! I am glad your doing well,,I had more issues when I got to the soft food stage,,I hated the pressure in my chest from eating, I took it slow slow,,and still have to some days. I am delighted that I can drink more normal,,,that bugged me the first 6 months!!!! Keep posting and I promise to look "harder"*grin*

Hi Jackie, I want to say I am glad you are home. You sound like you are coming along well. That first night of yours sure shot me to my memory bank, mine went just about the same. Sorry I did not see your original post. Things are crazy here. I have a dad that has spent only ten days of the last six weeks at home, all the rest in the hospital. Multi-system shut down and I was told Wed. that there is not anymore that can be done for his lungs, which means the pacemaker he needs will not be implanted and the gallbladder that has to come out will stay but on the brighter side his partial bowel obstruction is resolving on its own. My husband had a mastoidectomy yesterday. They thought it was just going to need a cleaning out but the bone was infected. I am still recoverying from my perforation....AKKKKK when it rains it poors ya know. Keep on sipping and walking. I would say my first two weeks I just lived on broth and water. I could not tolerate the suppliments I was given. It is great you are getting in your protein. It is truly amazing what happens with this surgery. Keep yourself well and how did the nails turn out? Nothing better than getting pampered. I am requesting a frineds add. I would like to keep up on your profile. Positive vibes Megan

Thank you all for reassuring me I am in the right place for support. I understand we are all busy with our lives and schedules and thank you for all the warm wishes. I feel good today. You all mean so much to me and my success. Sorry that I had to post that but I was like heyy???? lol I am ok now. Thanks again and enjoy your day. Love Jackie

Hi Jackie, Congratulations on becoming a "LOSER!!!" I'm truly happy for you and you will not regret this wonderful new chance at life!! I do understand your feelings about not receiving tons of posts...but I agree...it just happens sometimes, and honestly 99.9% of the time it's because someone may not have time to respond right then, but maybe plan on it later or something like that. And also, right after surgery you are emotional and sensitive because you may be in pain or just being under anethstetic causes weepiness for me. So it's normal to feel sensitive to things right now. Just know noone is trying to ignore you or doesn't care about you. We are one close-knit family here and you are one of them!!! Once you're here, you are STUCK WITH US!!! That's what I love about this site...you are always welcomed, no matter how badly you've behaved () I've been coming here since the day I found this site in September of 2003 and I don't think I've missed a day of at least popping on to see what's up, but then again, there are times I just haven't had time to jot a post to someone. I try, but I don't get to them all. Sooooooo....bottom line....YOU ARE LOVED!!! Happy healing and please don't hesitate to post when you need us or even when you don't!! Hugs, Theresa

Oh my goodness girl............I am so glad you are able to come here and post for goodness sakesssss..........wow that is so awful........sorry to hear about that....geezzeee girl like you had to explain that.......I am fine thanks for the welcome home...........

I did a search and found it there but if I go back into view older posts it doesn't show. Sometimes that happens. Posts show and then disappear. I dunno why. Either way, welcome home. You know the drill. You've seen it posted so do that voodoo you do do. You ROCK!!! kp
