It has been a week since surgery!!

Jul 30, 2010

I can not believe this time last week I was being wheeled back into my hospital room with the feeling of "What have I gotten myself into NOW?" Today I feel so much better and after a nice cool soapy shower and fresh clothes I am glad that I got myself into something AGAIN.  I have spoken with a few people thru this site that are shocked to find out that my surgery was done and within 24 hours I was back at home in my bed. It's not an insurance thing it is one of the standards for my surgeons. And, before you start to think and scratch your head...they are actually a wonderful group of trained and caring professionals. They require a minimum of 20 pound weight loss before surgery to shrink the liver and they will not operate if the weight has not been lost. Therefore, I decided to lose 29 before surgery to help shrink my liver and maybe make my after-surgery days a bit better....hate to think about the pain if I had not done this.....Well, found a few more bruises that decided to surface on my ribs today. My tape allergy is also better today and I have a couple days left of the Medral Dose pack...maybe the steroids helped recovery also.....Thanks to you all I have to go make some EGG SALAD for supper and I have to begin a load of laundry (don't be surprised....I'm actually making my 15 year old sone do the work while I instruct him on each step...gotta ride this train out as long as I can..)...take care and God Bless...Mary
