Thanks for al the support!

I got home last Tuesday afetrnoon.  Tuesday night was tough keeping the blood sugars up. It has been better since then.  I still have a fair amount of pain.  More than I thought I would have at this point.   Thanks to everyone who posted, emailed & called me.   All the support has helped me more than you will ever know.  The good news is I am now down a total of 53 pounds.  The bad news is my Short Term Disability carrier says I should be good to go back to work this Wed.  (that is NOT going to happen)  I have a pile of papers I have to have my surgeon fill out (in addition to the 2 that he has already filled out for them)  at my 1st followup visit on Tuesday afternoon.  I can't even stay awake for 8 hours, let alone work for 8 hours right now.

So glad to hear that you're doing well, and hoping your pain will subside.

and congratulations on your weight loss.!!!

Aloha...................welcome home.................so glad you are doing better, hope you get the paper work filled out and you can relax longer......you had major surgery and they should give you more time off............................................hope to see you sometime...............Lois

welcome back to the boards Sara!!

Glad things are getting better for you.  I know you were having a rough time in the beginning there.  You are still in my thoughts, even though I haven't checked in for a few days.

Keep us up to date and good luck with the extension.  You should NOT have to go back to work yet.  Especially with all the issues you had.

Glad to hear you are well. And I hope the pain subsides for you soon. Good luck at your visit and good luck with the paper work.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench, you are doing an amazing job so far, may you continue to enjoy the rewards of working your tool. 

Best wishes, Laureen

Hey Sarah,

Hope you start feeling better soon.  Congrats on the 53 pounds!  How exciting!  Rest up and feel better.

Glad to hear you are doing some better. I am sure that your blood sugars being so unstable right now are making you feel very tired. Take care of yourself. Hopefully the extra paper work will satisfy your insurance company and you will be able to recooperate fully before facing work.

Glad things are doing better!  Was definately thinking about you a lot!

Good luck with the disability thing....oh my what a pain in arse they can be! 

Let us know if you need anything else!
