my bad, i'll master this contraption yet!!!!!! I am not officially twanda's angel, however, i felt an intense need to met her in person. so i cracked open my first pair of angel wings, packed her a little bag with lip gloss, puff tissues,dasani water, and e. arden green tea hand lotion, and my hubby drove me to carolinas medical center. there i met twanda. she is a wonderful person, and had a lot of family around her.she has been up to walk, and has even made a poo-poo. now we all know that's something to rejoice in!!!!!!!!!! she still has an i.v. but has been approved for clear liquid now. her spirits are lifting, and her hope is starting to grow. please post your well wishes to her. toni

spoke with twanda smith on the phone today. she is at carolinas medical center in charlotte,nc.. and could use your support she is post open rny on 11-9- with dr. rhonda wachsmuth.at the time i spoke with her, she was dissappointed with the nurseing care she has recieved.she is 3 days post op and they have only had her up once, and have not had her be out of bed and walking per-se.now we all know that's an important component to keep the juices flowing and to get that tummy rolling!!!!!her ng tube is out and they took her catheter out today,but she hadn't passed urine on her own when i spoke with her.she tells me she has had several difficulties which had left her disheartened. first, they had difficulty getting her to wake up after surgery, so they had to use extra meds to reverse the anesthesia-however, it also hindered her pain meds, so she says for a while she was in a tremendous amount of pain, and they couldn't give her anything. the, somewhere in the next few days, she overmedicated herself with her morphine pca. she ran a fever last night and they took her to x-ray today. good news no pneumonia.her mom had to return to work today, so when i called she was by herself. also, at 3pm she had not seen the doctor yet who was on call for her surgeon, and rightfully so, was not happy about that. i am 9 days post-op open rny-my husband is going to take me to the hospital to see twanda and i look forward to meeting her as we both share the same surgeon.peace out toni saliby
