WELCOME BACK DAWN...WE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!

I was so happy to see that you had updated your profile. Though I must say it did bring tears to my eyes. I am so happy you are back. We have all missed you sooooooo much!!! It will get better. I know you have heard that a million times, but it is TRUE. Everyday...slowly at first...you will get stronger.....notice that your taste buds are normalizing...things are getting easier...and YOU ARE GETTING SMALLER!!!!! All of this will fade and you will be MORE FABULOUS than you already are. I know that is hard to believe since you are THE BOMB!!!! I am sending lots of love your way!!! Melissa

I know this post will show up in Melissa's email...so, Hey Melissa, Love you too! Dawn, I too was sooooooo happy to read your updated profile. That was quite an eventful, and scary experience Missy...I know it wasn't your fault Darlin'. Nurse Kaye, we're keeping our eyes on you That was a huge mistake, HUGE!!! Don't let that happen again OK, I got that off my chest. Just want you to know that I'm thinking about ya...and sending Happy, Joyous thoughts your way Is'nt it amazing how quick we can care for someone we've just met? I know, aint grand?!! By the way, your kicking protein butt Girlfriend! You're doing better than most do in that first week...me included. So don't be too hard on yourself OK? Oh before I forget, the stealth comment had me in stitches I think most of us can relate. Love Ya Tonya

Hi Tonya! Thank you for those Happy and Joyous thoughts ... needed and cherished!!! The protein today is a slow-go. I've gagged down 2 oz. of protein jello and 4 oz. of chicken broth w/ half a scoop of unflavored Unjury. Nowhere close to 80 grams. But I'm sipping my water, and looking forward to finding out what I can have on Full Liquids tomorrrow. Glad I made ya smile ... I'm hoping the Stealth Stuff will stay in hiding for the 2 hours I have to be over at Dr. Bour's office tomorrow!!! Love you too! Dawn

Thank you Melissa! Every day truly DOES get a little bit better than the one before. And I'm learning first-hand that I do feel better if I talke half a pain pill in the daytime, and I take my nausea meds now too! Better and better. Thank you for the ... I'm looking forward to being moved up to full liquids in the AM! Clear liquids and me are getting a divorce. Dawn
