Had my GB out last Tuesday... and am finally on the UPswing!!!  Today is the best I have felt in a long time.  UNfortunately, I have lost 6 lbs in one week due to the surgery, me thinks, and am now 12# BELOW goal.  I liked being AT goal, but perhaps it'll avg out. 

Still tired from the hemolytic anemia... but that's a different issue.  Am scheduled for a Bone Marrow Biopsy in a couple of weeks, and I am MORTIFIED of that... so requested to be SEDATED for it.  Ug ug ug ug ug!!! 

More updates as they happen....

Glad you are feeling better, Lizzie.  I will pray for you regarding your BM Biopsy.  I am a cancer survivor twice over and have underwent many not-so-pleasant procedures along the way.  Thankfully, I have been in remission since 12/07.  While that might not be the potential issue you are facing...biopsies suck and are super scary nevertheless!  lol

My thoughts are with you, friend.

   hugs!!
