Hi all. I am 5 days out and now home from the hospital. I had some complications with blood loss during surgery and had some transfulsions. I spent 2 days in intensive care and then all I can say is that the Good Lord stepped in and took care of me, I got my energy back and was able to walk. So I got sent home the 18th. What a journey I've had. I'm feeling better each day and following Dr's orders exactly. I have my first follow up on Monday. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Thank you God for taking care of me.

Debbie, Good luck and congratulations on taking control of your health and life!! I am almost two weeks post op and feeling great. Not alot of pain except RIGHT as I woke up. Once they were able to give me some pain medication it was very tolerable. Remember to walk as much as you can and do the breathing exercises. Good luck!! Lori

Hi, this is Debbie, it's the eve before I go in. I am trying some breathing techniques to relax. I think my hubby is more nervous than me. I am excited to start a new life on the heathly track. John (my honey) will post with my progress. Thank you all for your support. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Hi Debbie "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
