Just stopping by to say Hello to everyone! I'm on my way home after a very long journey. I've actually got several hours before leaving the Anchorage airport for Chicago. I will be home at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. This is an overnight flight. I'm in a coffee shop right now using their internet access... My seroma held its own and I'm getting it drained on Monday morning. The cruise was out of this world as well as the food. I indulged too much and have to cut back on my eating starting tomorrow. So much to tell everyone about... I did the zipline adventure and zipped 8 times across the forest in the trees. I crossed 3 suspension bridges too. For my award, I got a medal of bravery!! I was able to do this even with my seroma.... As you can see I was determined. I sure missed all of you and of course, my sugardaddies. When I get home early in the morning, it's off to bed for me. Hope everyone is doing well. Talk with you soon. Hugs and Love, Lucy

Lucy, hello. I was just thinking about you about an hour ago. I will touch base with you tomorrow or later in the week. I just got home from a real full day (see today's roll call) and am bushed. We are fed and watered and we are going off to bed for a well deserved rest. Talk to you later my friend. Chris

Hi Chris. I got home around 6 this morning and went right to bed. We had a delay in taking off in Anchorage. I'm happy to be home and get back into my routine. Tomorrow I'm having Dr. Madry aspirate my seroma. I think it has started to subside. It's not as full as it was 2 weeks ago. I did some major jewelry shopping. They have the most exquisite pieces I have ever seen! I'm so exhausted and have a lot of unpacking and washing of clothes to do. Well, it's one day at a time. Hope all is well with you and Dave. Take care. Lucy

Hi Christina! Alaska was the best for me. I enjoyed my brief time in Vancouver and did some naughty shopping. I bought an adult board game for Andy and I to play. I also purchased a belly dancing scarf to tie around my waist with the coins on it. I plan on taking belly dancing classes. My friend took me to an adult shop with all kinds of stuff!!! I was shocked to see what is available. It was my first time in one of those stores. I'm so happy that I was able to do the zipline adventure last Monday even with my seroma. I got my medal for bravery and will keep it forever. The glaciers were so magnificient. I did a lot of walking so I hope it offset some of my eating. Tomorrow it's back to basics for me... need to lose those pounds I gained on this trip. It was worth it though. Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Lucy

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy ... I just cannot keep up with you girl. Can you please post your calendar somewhere so we can follow you (kinda like tracking Santa)? Anyway, I'm sure you're having a great time and I knew your seroma wouldn't keep you down. Can't wait to see you (and some pics) ...

Talk to you soon ... Karyn

Hi Karyn. Boy, my life is so busy now, I can't keep the days straight

. I woke up today not knowing what day it was.... hoping it was Sunday so I didn't have to get up and go to work! Oh well, here I am. My plans change from day to day. I don't even know myself.. My abdominal seroma is subsiding. I saw my plastic surgeon yesterday and he didn't get anything out when he tried to aspirate it. I'm still swollen in the abdomen though. I hate that!! I've got some nice pics from the Princess photographers and will bring them to the ENH meeting in August. Tomorrow I have a second interview for a job I applied for at Advocate. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes well and they offer me the job. I so need to get out of the one I am in now. How are you feeling since your GB removal? Take care, Lucy
