MY SURGERY
I HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 29 .... EVERYTHING WENT WELL ... I STAYED 2 NIGHTS, I WEIGHED IN AT 237, I WEIGHED 253 
ON THURSDAY MAY 31, (MY WEIGHT WHEN DR. GUPTA SENT ME HOME) THE NURSE TOLD ME THAT THE WEIGHT GAIN WAS BECAUSE OF ALL THE IV FLUIDS, I WAS SENT HOME WITH A DRAINAGE TUBE. BOB HAD TO EMPTY IT 2 X A DAY AND MEASURE THE FLUID FOR ONE WEEK. BOB AND SHAWNDA ALSO GAVE ME LOVENOX SHOTS (IN MY STOMACH) ONCE A DAY TO PREVENT BLOOD CLOTS. I ALSO WORE "TED" HOSE FOR TWO WEEKS, NOW I WEAR THEM DURING THE NIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD! ON MONDAY JUNE 4, I HAD MY DRAINAGE TUBE TAKEN OUT, TODAY (JUNE 12, 2007) IT HAS BEEN 14 DAYS ... I CAN SLEEP IN MY BED NOW, THE FIRST TWO WEEKS I SLEPT IN A RECLINER AND USED PAIN MEDS TO SLEEP TO KEEP MYSELF COMPFORTABLE, EACH DAY THAT I WOKE UP TO A NEW DAY, I THANKED GOD FOR GIVING ME A NEW DAY. 
I AM GETTING BETTER AND THANKING GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS ...I GO BACK TO DR. GUPTA ON JULY 9 FOR MY 6 WEEK CHECK-UP.
more later....
