I'm back!

Hello everybody. First let me say thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. I really appreciate it. I got home about 7:00 last night and boy was I glad to be here! Everyone at ORMC was super nice and my room was too, but... there's no place like home. Everything went fine except I had a hard time staying awake the first day and they only got me up to walk once. I guess Jan, my angel extraordinaire, told you that I slept thru her first visit. I was awake most of the night, I don't know if it was because I stayed down too much that day or if it was the bed, my back was killing me. I got up at 6:30 a.m. and was pretty much up all day. I felt better when I was walking. I didn't "eat" anything off my breakfast or lunch trays so they made me stay 'til after the supper tray to prove I could eat. I can, I just don't want to. Without a doubt, the leak test was the worst part. That vile thick liquid they make you drink made me nauseated. But it's over quickly and it's good to know you're not leaking! I really feel pretty good. Just a little sore. Thanks again for your support, Joy

Glad to see you back on the board. Have a great day and rest knowing you are on the losing side. Carol

Thanks Carol, I hope I'm losing, I'm trying to wait 'til my one week post-op appointment to weigh. I'll be crushed if there is not some loss. Joy

Welcome back, I hope you are feeling good.

Glad that you are feeling good and are back home!! Take care and good luck! ~Tricia p.s. I am originally from Dunnellon..so nice to "see" some people from home on here..

Small world Tricia, I lived in Dunnellon for a while and my daughter and two of my grandchildren still live there. Thanks for the support it really makes a difference. Joy

Hi Steve, I'm not quite ready to put on my boogie shoes yet but I'm feelin' pretty good. Thanks, Joy

I am glad to see you doing well! Best of luck and prayers! Kim

Thanks KIm, I'll take all the Prayers and luck I can get!! Joy

OK, Joy, now that you've made it back on the board, I'm hanging up my halo, so now it'll be YOUR turn. I wish I had a date for you, but I made 2 phone calls today to no avail. That's ok though, at least I'm approved and my day WILL come. I'm glad you're home and feeling so fine!! Jan Ex
