Evening AMOS Family, Hard to believe surgery is behind me instead of before. Everything has gone very well for me. I have to say, I started this out with a positive plan, negative thinkin' was left on the "down side" of the "other side". I'll not be discouraged.<br>
Thank you Gail for being my Perfect Angel. We have a very good understanding of one another me thinks, and I look forward to welcoming you home just 6 days away on June 8th!<br>
I got home about 4pm yesterday. Left the hospital just 28 hours after I got there and 26 hours after surgery. Talk about a fast transformation! Since I'm 55, I guess that was a special request answered. After all the years of emotional pain, this has been a no-sweat deal! The best I can say, is go in with the idea of how strong you are, how able you are to do the things necessary to go home, the walking, breathing, coughing, drinking your liquids etc. I walked 2 laps first time and 3-4 thereafter. Had a very busy day today, and am getting tired now, just noticed the body aches settling in...those under the right breast and across the back, tum is sore but not horribly so. Took my shower mid-morning, that was great...and have walked twice on my treadmill today, 10 min and 12 min. So, as I said, this old gal is doin' just fine. All in all this has been a fantastic start on the journey to wholeness for the rest of my life. Take comfort and keep the faith those of you coming up.
Blessings, Carolyn B<br>
