Hi All!!

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts, it means a lot to me! As Nancy said, I may be without net here soon, but have it this morning and wanted to go ahead and update real quick. I'm home and feeling better every day.  Other than the drain course, what a pita  lol. I've been able to keep water, crystal lite, chicken broth, carnation instant breakfast drink and strained cream of chicken soup, all with protein added of course, down so far.  Oh and sugar free pudding too.  I can't stand chocolate right now, feels and tastes to heavy but that's ok, it was my downfall before surgery  hehe.  It's amazing how full you feel and how quickly. Surgery itself went uncomplicated but with a little more bleeding than he liked, but really no complications and they were all happy with the surgery and my progress afterward. I can't wait to feel totally up to par again, I know it wont be long, but there is so much I want to do but dont dare, especially with moving.  I'll wait it out, even though it's hard hehhe. Much love to everyone.  I'm glad to hear Brandy is doing well and I hope Bev will be doing better really soon.  She'll be in my thoughts! I'll be back posting as much as ever soon.

Hey, girl!!  So glad you were able to get on line and post an update.  Sounds like you are doing GREAT!!  And you'll be even better once you get that drain out...  I know you may not see this for a day or two, but know that thoughts and prayers are still with you for a speedy recovery.  Take care of yourself - make that family take care of you, too!    Can't wait to hear how you're doing in a few days.
