Newbie on board
The unfortunate cir****tance of my father passing recently, afforded me another opportunity. One of my daddy’s wishes was for me to have the surgery. My mom decided that part of his insurance money would pay for my new beginning. I am so grateful. I truly believe that this is the beginning of a whole new life for me.
Anyway, I am now 19 days post-op!!!! There was a little “hiccup" that landed me back in the hospital, a week out, but that has been resolved.
I was recommended this site by a woman in the waiting room of my surgeon’s office, and I’m so glad I joined. It’s nice to hear from other DSers, their problems and successes, tips and tricks. I look forward to making friends and developing relationships.
My name is Ginger and I'm glad to be here.
