Let's Wish Linda Well Tomorrow

Linda (plan2behealthy) is having a stent put in at UCI tomorrow to FINALLY repair her darn stricture!  We are all pulling for you, Linda--and looking forward to celebrating with you once you've healed.

Thanks for the heads-up.  Will definitely keep her in prayer that this will finally do the trick.

Hey Julia
Thanks for the reminder - I knew that the procedure was right around the corner....Linda - you are in our prayers for sure....call me if you need anything...is this an out pt procedure or what, how long does it take and what is the recovery?

Once you are all healed we are going out for DINNER and real FOOD to celebrate....

Thanks again Julia and LInda - its gonna be great....

hugs

Yay Linda!
As a pre-op your struggles with your stricture and perserverence towards getting it fixed have really eased my mind on the possibility of that particular complication. You've been amazingly positive about it each time I've seen you. Obviously, a stricture would be a very very bad thing for me to get, but your struggle and strength has shown me it's not the end of the world if it does happen. Best of luck on your procedure. Finally you'll be able to EAT again!

Thanks for keeping us posted Julia.  I will keep Linda in my thoughts and prayers.  I hope this is her last issue with the stricture as she has gone through a lot!  Wishing Linda and everyone else a great day!

Hi Julia.  Thanks for the reminder. I had my stent inserted last month and I've been doing great. since then.   
Linda, I'm so happy for you.  You are in good hands with Dr. Lee.  Soon you'll enjoy real food. No more beans and crackers.  I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Gloria

thanks for the heads up Julia!

And to Linda!  Wishing you speedy recovery and return to 'normal' food!  You have been dragged thru the wringer..and have a positive attitude thru it all.  Hurry back and let us know THIS procedure worked!!  God's speed Lady!

So I have been feeling really lousey the past few days, haven't been on here, and generally feeling sorry for myself.  I decided to get on here and then I saw this.

You all are so kind.  This is such an amazing group of friends I have made on here.  I am planning on going to Long Beach coffee next week, and hopefully I will be eating solid food.

Gloria, I am so glad to hear your doing so much better. Thanks for the positive note on Dr Lee.  It almost seems unreal that I may actually eat again soon. 

Thank you all for turning my mood around and keeping me focused on the positive. 

I will post tomorrow when I am home from the Hospital.

It is out patient, and done endoscopically, should only take about 20 minutes or so and then a quick trip to recovery (about 30-60 minutes) then home on liquids for a few more days.

Hugs to all of you, Thank you
Linda
