Guess Who's Home??

I am finally HOME!!!!  Dr Rantis called me this morning in my hospital room and said, "How'd ya like to go home today?"   I was so happy I cried.  Of course I cry over everything lately anyway, those of you who I have talked to probably know that already...I know Dawn does!  lol

I got home right after Jacob did from school and he came flying out of the house so happy to see me.  My two neighbor's  happened to be outside and offered any help that they could while I heal, so that's nice.  And one's a former paramedic too.  lol

I feel like I have been hit by a couple of trucks.  I look like it too.  I can't sleep worth crap in the hospital so tonight I am really hoping to be able to sleep better.   I still have staples in my inscision that will be there til next Tuesday when I go to the office to have my G-tube pulled.  I have about a 5 inch cut on my belly and then the other lap spots they tried to go in first.   ya know what hurts the most though??  my back!! 

Thank you to all of you for the wonderful support and well wishes these last 3 weeks from hell, but now I am on the road to recovery hopefully.  Unfortunately we won't make it to Lucy's this weekend...I am SOOOO bummed about that, but I am just not up to it at this point.  I want everyone to take lots of pics and also enjoy each others company for me!!

Love to you all, but I have to go and lay on the couch for a bit now and see if I can stop this back pain.

Oh hon so glad you are home now, and on the road to recovery, you take care of your self , I will miss you at the party but maybe next time you will be able to come, So happy you are ok, That was one heck of a scare.  

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
