Happy Surgiversary! Thank you for contributing to the board through the year. The sharing of knowledge by "graduates" has definitely eased my journey. It is appreciated. ~Michelle (MV)

Barb, Welcome home! I am trusting that you came home today and are doing well. Take your Lortab if you need it, soon you'll be feeling fine! Rest and sip, then repeat! Take good care! Dina

Merry Christmas!
...and Happy New Year!

Well, things are looking up a bit. I started taking Effexor twice a day for my depression in place of the Cymbalta two weeks ago. I think I am doing better, but will talk to the doc about upping it to 3X a day. It has changed my outlook a bit, but there are still some issues I muddle with daily. Overall, though, I am encouraged.

Only a couple of weeks left on grave shift and I am very relieved. I want to get back to a real life...

Posted some more photos, including my 10-month photo. I am starting to get used to the new me, finally. Margaret came to visit and she said she couldn't get used to my voice coming out of this body. Funny.

Have hit 160, but am NOT making good food choices. Am waiting for the holiday madness to recede to get back on track. Starting exercise as well. It's all good.

It's been a wonderful year...and a mess. Overall I can't complain.

Love, Me.
