I love my Lortab...I love my Lortab!!! I can't seem to get past this pain. But it is true what they say...each day it gets better. Better today than it was yesterday. It will be better tomorrow than it is today. I am a new loser! I can't quite get my mind around that. It seemed at first to be taking so long and then all of a sudden the time swept me along and over the edge and here I am home AFTER surgery and recovering quite nicely. I want to thank all of you who posted to my page and all of those who just thought good thoughts about me. It all helped. I will be home this week and try to go back to work half days next week. My boss will be happy to know that I am able to do that. Unfortunately, I am the only one who can do my job, so I have to be careful about when and how long I take off. I have several reports to get out next week and alot of data entry to do to get the numbers I will need. Sigh, no rest for the wicked! I am so grateful to be on the other side and am looking forward to using this tool to the best of my ability. I promise! I will follow my Dr.'s protocol to the letter...no cheating at all. I promise! Actually, I am promising this to myself and my family, so I can be here in this world and be healthy enough to participate in my life and theirs. I want to say that I signed the petition as Number 2213. I pray that all those in the process to get this surgery never give up! Those waiting for their surgery dates...keep your chin up! Those, like me, who are just recently post-op...sip sip sip, chew chew chew, walk walk walk! To those who are just pounds away from their goals...keep up all the good things you are doing and stop the bad things (and you know what they are!). Happy Thanksgiving to all...it is truely a good season.
