Well, Berry came home today.  He is not feeling the best but is glad to be home.  I am glad he is home too.  He ended up actually gaining weight.  I suppose it is from 3 days of all sorts of "liquids" being pumped into him.  He really hasn't slept much in 4 nights.  He is walking and sipping so maybe tomorrow he will feel better.  You know you would think that this would make me question my surgery.  But honestly it doesn't.  In fact, I think I understand it better now.  I am still apprehensive but will be fine.  I want to thank everyone for their words of encouragement and prayers.  Merry Christmas to all and a Blessed, Healthie New Year!  Thanks - Lynn

The weight gain right after surgery is very common, because of the IV fluids.  I was 19 pounds up 6 days after surgery!   3 weeks later, I was something like 32 pounds DOWN.  So just have patience and work the plan - It WILL come off! CONGRATS, BERRY!!!

Thanks Darla.  It's good to hear that Berry's weight gain is "normal".  Each day he is feeling better and stronger.  May you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.  Lynn and Berry
