Hi All.... this is Chris's wife. He came home a day earlier than expected. He did absolutely wonderful. As Hope posted, he had his surgery about midday on Tuesday. 6am on Wednesday, he was up walking laps. He did 18 laps that day around the floor. 13 laps is a mile. I was amazed. He's walked approximately a mile everyday. They had to take him off of the morphine the morning after his surgery. He was having a bad reaction to it. They gave him Roxicet liquid instead. That did fine. He got to come home on Thursday because he was doing so wonderful, plus with me being a postie, Dr. Miller knew that I was able to take care of him. He is doing wonderful. Thank you to everyone for your support. We greatly appreciate it.

Chris's wife just called me, he went into surgery at 10:45am and was in his room by 2:30pm. He was done open by Dr. Miller in Seaford. Doctor says everything went well and he is fine. Chris is complaining of nausea and of pain. He keeps saying the morphine is not touching him.

Hi Chris, I'd say don't be nervous but, heck, I was nervous. Of course it was all for nothing (except I burned a few extra calories) because my surgery went fine. I had more soreness than pain but nothing that couldn't be handled. For me, the week before surgery was harder than the week after just because of those pesky nerves (and I thought I was calm.) Remember to keep it positive. That means keeping only supportive people around you. The negative ones are just ill-informed. I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true,

Chris, Good Luck. Sorry I won't be here next week. I'll be on vacation in Florida. But I'll be saying a prayer for you. I'll say a second prayer for a speedy recovery. Remember to walk, sip and breathe. Then do it again. See you on the loosing side when its all over. Leigh's the best angel that a person can have. God Bless ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Honey! I know your surgery date has been moved up, and I also know that your fear is beginning to really kick in... but do you remember how scared you were when I had surgery? I did just fine, and so will you. I have faith in our Lord God that you will do well during surgery, recovery, and the rest of our lives. I am here for you, and since I am a Postie, I will walk you through every step of the way. I love you so much. And God knows that I need you, my dear sweet husband. I love you more than you could ever know. You will do great. Don't worry. Love... Your Loving Wife <3 <3 <3
