Natalie is at home and resting. She is so glad to be home, I was sooooo concerned about her coming home so fast after surgery AGAIN but after the day and night she had yesterday in that hell hole of a hospital she is glad to home and glad to be ALIVE! She said she honestly thought she would not be on this earth today!! OMG that tears my heart out knowing she felt like that!
The stint is working, the kink is out and the kidney is working, so they told her they would send her home with the same meds they would give her there and she is only 5 minutes aways IF she had to go back. She is anemic now since she has lost so much blood but she is back on her iron supplement. So she is at home with family, resting, trying to eat and push fluids and her pain is under control right now.

This is where I cry again and again (damn hormones ugh) but it's a good thing!!! She is blown away by her WLS family but her husband and daughter have just been in awe of the out pouring of love and concern from the ppl here on this board! She said she has no idea what she would have done without all of us, even if you didn't talk directly to her, your thoughts and prayers have been passed along to her. I told her, we take care of our own and we ALL know she would have been right there just the same for us!!! So for her.... thank you!! You ppl are just amazing and we all have a bond that is just indiscribable!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I'm sure Tink updates will continue throughout the weekend!!!
