update on little ole me....

i must definitely be the only person that can have surgery on their one year anniversary and the same thing happened that happened last year..well almost..lol
I am happy to say my JP tubes drains are gone and all staples have been removed.
But
And if you know me you know that was coming..
I have a huge pocket of old blood in my lower abdomen and that is  easing out of me plus it seems I have another pocket near the tummy tuck incision so today I got the pure pain of having staples removed and my ouch es packed with that long packing string.Talk about pain!
I go back next week and PRAY that the infection is gone.

Omigosh.  Prayers going up for infection be gone!

thank you very much...! I just hope I get to go home for Christmas..its not looking good

See Pattye, with you there is always a BUTTT! 
J/k I do hope you are better soon!  I know you have been down for a while!
Christmas is a month away, of course you will be better and be home!
How is your Butt anyway?  Better I hope!
Hugs to you!!!

what a butting in question..lol
it is still hurting tyvm but at least I am now allowed to lay on my sides wooohoooo!

Bless your heart, Pattye. I had to do that "long packing string" thing some years ago, after breast surgery. Nasty infection; painful "cure."  Try to think positively, though, and our prayers will be added to yours, that this WILL resolve in time for you to go home for Christmas.

mary thank you very much (tyvm) I hope so cause I have not been home for the holidays in 7 years.

btw I posted a pic of me before surgery and a coupl of me now they are on my profile..no makeup YIKES

I enjoyed looking at your pictures. You've made wonderful progress. You must always smile, because that's when you're prettiest--makeu***** makeup. :)

Good grief I hate to even tell this story (after the foot falling off thing) but I had to have a deviated septum fixed and they packed each nostril with about 3 feet of gauze......it was soooooo gross-but even grosser still, I bled and oozed for like 5 weeks afterward-so I had to wear a Nose Diaper (pad taped across my nose) so I could work without bleeding on the computer...

OMGosh Girl! I cant believe what all is happening to you!  You are one strong woman and you are going to be that much stronger when all of this is FINALLY over with!

I will keep you in my prayers!
