I'm home.... and Thanks!

Thanks y'all for the prayers and support. I was pretty dadgum sick Thursday. Seems I've been having trouble ever since I came home from vacation. Just can't eat as much. Only a few bites of meat and I'm stuffed like an after Thanksgiving dinner. I've been having problems with that "stuck" feeling. That's what happened Thursday and I just couldn't get over it. I wasn't even keeping water down... so off I went to get checked out. They thought it was a stricture (so did I) but it wasn't. So I've been given Reglan to try to help with the emptying stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to eat more than yogurt soon. I keep losing weight, and while I NEVER in my life thought I'd say this... I really don't want to lose anymore. My parents are convinced it's all the stress we are under with Scott's job situation and are SO ready to come and kick some serious "boss butt". Anyway, I am going to concentrate on taking better care and chew chew chew! Pretty sad when you can't even get fish down. Hopefully this drug will help! Dr. Cleveland is SO great, and very thorough! I'm so glad we haven't moved yet and I got to see him again! I dread having to find someone new. I was also very impressed with the hospital staff. It was amazing to me how many of the nurses remembered me from last year! Anyway, Just wanted to say thanks to all and let you know all is well over here. HUGS Kimberly

glad you are home!! Where are yall moving to? It might be difficult to get another surgeon to follow you (from my past experience). I would definitely look for an aggressive PCP in the new town Glenda

Possibly moving to B-ham, or North or South Carolina. Who knows? Anyway the wind blows at this point! I'm worried about finding someone to follow me. Of course, if we move to B-ham, it won't be too bad to come back home for yearly checkups and special events. I really love our support group and hate to miss it forever! Anyway, perhaps Dr. C has a friend wherever I end up and he can refer me. HUGS Kimberly

Stress can really mess your body up. I know back in the early spring I had some things going on that put me into a tail spin. I got down to around 126 pounds and at my height I looked like the walking dead. When things settled back down and all I was able to get back up to my 135. And I must say I feel much better and look much better. I never thought I would say it, but there is a such thing as too thin LOL. Who woulda thunk it? LOL. I am glad you are home and feeling some better. I have been worried about you since Deanna posted you were in the hospital. I hope you continue to improve and are back 100% really soon. Melissa

" Pretty sad when you can't even get fish down." I STILL can't eat fish! And I miss it, but the taste just gags me! I am so glad you are home and can at least have yogurt, you skinny, little tiny huzzy! DO NOT LEAVE THE STATE - that is a direct order from your Queen . Tell Scott we are rootin' for him too! smoochies Arlies

Thanks, and Scott says THANKS! He needs someone rootin' for him right now! I keep saying we are moving. I'm packing up some of the unused stuff around here, trying to get the house presentable for the next people, etc... BUT, when it actually comes to seriously leaving, I'm not sure it will be so easy! I have lived here since 7th grade. I love my church/job and I have so many friends that I will miss dearly. I guess the reality hasn't really hit me yet. I keep thinking in the back of my mind that we won't end up leaving, but according to Scott, we are. SO......... We'll see. I just pray that the right job opportunity comes along and HE can be happy. We all know what it's like to live with a grumpy man! HUGS K

I am so glad you are home and doing better. I have been worried about you! Please keep us updated on your progress. I hope that you feel back to normal soon! Love ya! Rhonda

Hey Rhonda !! I really miss getting to catch up with you more often, but other than having surgery almost two weeks ago and not feeling good beforehand, and needing to work ALL I possibly can, not able to get on here too often, but wanted to say that I miss ya and hope everything is going okay with you!! D.

WHEW, Was worried Girl ! Glad you're home. Still praying for you! Tomanip
