PT told me it would be several weeks before i would be driving or going back to work.  duh, i planned to return on monday.  i dont have sick days left to take and cannot take off.  someone will have to drive me or something.  i must go to work.  physical therapy was very hard on me today.  i am just beat, physically, mentally and emotionally drained.  kyle has been a real trooper taking good care of me but he has to go back to work tomorrow.  jill also has to work, my dad will be across the street if i need him, but has carpet cleaners coming.  jill is going to take me to therapy in the morning and daddy will pick me up when the carpet cleaners leave.  i am waiting on the dr.s office to call with my follow up appt tomorrow.  until then, i wont know anything else about when i can go back to work, drive or anythi ng.  please keep prayhing for me.  i am just so tired.   i have taken my meds and going on to bed.  please keep praying.  i need them.  it was so nice to get those bandages off today and get a nice hot shower after p.t. thank you all for being here for me.

lovet o all,

I am so sorry you are going through this.  Elle, are you a member of catastrophic leave?  Or could you borrow days from the sick leave bank?  If you are a member of catastrophic leave I will give you a couple of days.  I don't have a bunch but I would give to you.  Let me know!!!

i used catastrophic when my Mama died 7 yrs ago. (she was in the hospital for 6 weeks dying and I"m her only child.  I had just had my WLS a week prior)  only got 3 days donated. t hey wouldn't let anyone outside our system donate.  I will find out today how long they expect me to be out of work.  Thanks for offering though.  That's very sweet of you

I am praying for you.  I love you!!!

Sorry that you are going through this pain--hopefully the results will be far better for you this time.  I also pray that something works out on you job situation.

Hoping you have a blessed and quick recovery

I know how you feel. When I was going through chemo I thought it would be better for me to crawl in a whole and be left alone until it was all over. I had no strength, hurt all over, threw up on a regular basis or else had diarehhea. My mental state was unexplainable. At the time, I told very few people how I actually felt. I depended on the prayers of my family and friends to get me through those days. The prayers worked. I didn't have to miss but 1 entire day or work and that was the day of my surgery. I left to go home early a couple of times when the chemo treatment left me unable to function. But what I want you to know is that this is temporary. Better days are coming and you have to remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Its ok to whine and have a pity party as long as you don't let that overtake you. We love you and will keep you in our prayers.
