I'm home

Glad to be home.   I am doing pretty good.  Not as much pain as I had expected.  Queezy off and on.  But worried about all the fluid gain.  almost 17 pounds.  I'm sure it will come off in the next few days.   Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts durning my rebirth.   I am so full of staples that might be part of the weight gain..lol   Because of the years of steriod use it made it hard  to stitch me up so I have staples every where.  I'll get them out next week.  I have to watch real close for leakage.  Just glad to be on the losing side   You guys have been great with all the encouragement and prayers.   and my Family has been great support.  Love you all.   Until Later  Barbara

Glad to hear you are doing well!  Take one day at a time.  Your "sis" was bragging about how good you were doing by walking in the hospital.  Keep up the good work.  It gets better I promise. Glad you are now on the "other" side of the losers bench.  If you need anything- let me/us know. Take care Angela

Congratulations Barbara, you're now a loser!!  Glad you are doing so well and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.  Take care, Melissa

So glad that you are home and feelin great...I'm happy for you.  I was thinking about you and your sister the other day and how cool it is that both of you are on this journey together.  You have each other to rely on and share you experiences. Take care! Wanda

Glad to hear that everything went so well. Welcome to the loser's side. Did you have to have open or did he do laproscopic? Just wondering cause you said you had staples.

He did Lap  but because of the years of steriods  my  skin and meat tissue would not stay together so he had to staple every incission.   Just to make sure no leaks.    Thanks for all the prayers and concerns.  I am glad for a board like this to meet so many wonderful people...Love ya all   Barb

Glad you are home and doing well. Congrats on being a loser!  Take it easy and sip, sip, sip!!! Pam
