Oh no!

After awaking from surgery I felt relieved it was finally over. I couldn't resist looking at my stomach and to my horror there was a giant bolt where my belly button had been. Oh no! what the heck is this I asked the surgeon. He replied that it was ok and "don't touch it and all will be ok". Man I didn't want a bolt for a belly button and sure enough I had to examine it closer. I started turning the bolt and it didn't hurt but on the other hand it didn't do anything either. My curiosity was killing me but I decided to leave it alone as the Dr. had said. Later in the day I had to get up to go to the boys room and when I slid out of bed my butt fell off. Love you all and the very best to each and everyone of you. A new life awaits us. Gene

Congrats on your surgery Gene...your butt fell off????? Hope you have a speedy recovery We are neighbors! Love, betsy

Oh Yes.........everybody has to be a comic. I'm assuming that the bolt was connected to BOTH cheeks. Must have had a spreader installed to reach across. Hope you can get it all back together or maybe there is just a butt lift scheduled for the future. Enjoy you new tool. I'm waiting so very patiently for the first of March for my DS.

Like you I'm playing the waiting game. Got to do something to lift spirits. Congrats to you for having a date and the very best to you in your endeavours. Stay in touch as we move SLOWLY forward.

Oh Gene my grandmother used to tell me if I played with my belly button my butt would fall off. You sure made me laugh. Take care. Tammy RNY 1/8/04
