aftermath

Welcome home! Hoping you feel better soon!

Shari, Glad to here you are home and starting your recovery.  Get plenty of rest and hope to see you back posting soon. Becky

I feel like such a big dork saying this, but I was so worried about you and I'm so happy you are ok! I was sooo pissed yesterday when my power was out for almost 24 hours because I couldn't come in and check to see if you or Sig OT had posted! But, glad to see you're back and I really hope that the pain lessens soon!  You're such an inspirationl!

Wow that all sounds like so much fun...  Glad you made it through ok and thank god you didn't have to be cut open.   Heal quickly!!

You did it.  I hope you feel better real soon.  You rest and rest some more.  I know your one tough cookie. 

Hey Shari, Awesome that everything came out alright.  You sound pretty uncomfortable, I hope that passes soon. That shocked me that even after your loss that your liver was still huge.  Amazing.   Please keep us updated!

Poor thing.  I feel your pain.  Sleep it out, girl.  Best thing to do is sleep it out.

I can surely empathize with you girl. The first two weeks I thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life but it will get better. I was sent home with a liquid pain med called roxicett(sp?). I loved this stuff. I could take it every 4-6 hours and when I would it would put me to sleep. To this day I would love to get my hands on more! I can see why people could get addicted. Right after surgery I had pouch spasms and OMG those were awful. They gave me valium for those. Everytime I would swallow ANYTHING it would hurt but after two weeks I was fine. I slept in the recliner for the first two weeks too. My first month I only lost 24 pounds but I would have never lost that much on my own. Make sure to keep hydrated more than anything. I'll be thinking about you. Candy

Shari I am so sorry you are having a lot of pain.  But I am tickled you feel well enough to stop in.  Each day should get better.  Keep your chin up!

whew!!!!  if a friend's prayers could lift you up, mine have been coming since the day you had surgery. i was in Chicago, but stopped to say a prayer daily.  Abdominal surgery sucks.  i had two c-sections and nearly died from complications both times. Severe infections in my case.  Things take time, dear Shari. hang in there. We are all pulling for you.
