And it ain't the gingerbread man!
On day five of my being admitted into Moore Regional Hospital I was released...freed.... told to scat....run like the wind..uh uh ..just get outta here.
My surgery last 4 and half hours and my coming out in recovery was like an hour when I was wheeled into my room.
In the last five days I have come to realize that I have some wonderful friends that came to see me with goodies and alot of gossip. I started crying while listening and watching these wonderful people..For each one showed me how rich and valuable my life has become. Without these "friends" I would have come through the surgery alright but with their love, prayers. and support I shined through it all.
I had a full fledge tummy tuck and all the trimings.
I am in pain and the hardest part for me is that I am not some one that can sit still and that is what I am to do for six weeks...BORINGGGGG!
I lost over 42 pounds and I cant get use to "not seeing more of me"....

Glad you are home-hospitals are the pits pits pits. I stayed away due to my current (and ongoing) cold. Decided that a coughing fit wouldn't feel to good on fresh incisions.

Sitting still is so much harder to do when you HAVE to.....but you know it's best in the long run-so sit sit sit!!!!

Hi, Pattye.
It's nice to have you back. So sorry you are in pain, but I guess it comes with the territory. 42 lbs! My goodness, that's a lot! Just keep thinking about those lbs. being gone and maybe the pain will lessen.
I'm sure it's no fun to rest for 6 weeks, but it will be worth it. You don't want to risk having to go back to the hospital with an infection.
Take care.
Blessings,
Mary

It's good to hear from you Pattye! Sounds like all went well and Oh my gosh...42 pounds lighter. I so hope that I can have a tummy tuck later. That's the only think I will want to do. I can cover the other stuff up!!! Take care and enjoy the down time. I'll be ready to take on the world after all this!!
