Trying to recouperate with a smile

Hi all, Just wanted to keep some of my old friends updated. On 7/31 I had my hernia repair along with my TT, thighs and arms done. It has been very difficult. I would NOT recommend having them all done at the same time. I typically heal and handle pain very well, so this is unusual for me. I know its only been less then 3 weeks, but I dont have the energy to do anything yet. I have to go tomorrow morning to a wound center because one of my wounds is not healing so I might need a wound vac. On top of it all, my job only allowed me 3 weeks personal leave and told me if I can not return to work on Monday, the will have to reevaluate my position and could possibly be terminated. They can do that only because I havent been there a year yet. SOOOOO, its been very stressful. I am trying my best to think positive, so I am asking all of you for your good thoughts and prayers that I will soon be moving ahead towards feeling 'normal' again. I do check in and read the board but havent felt up to posting at all since surgery. I miss you all and want to thank you all for your support over this last year. Hugs, Soos

Wow Soos I am so proud of you. I know it's rough but I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. So good to hear from you! Love, deb in GA

Thanks Deb, Good to hear from you. I am hanging in there. Thanks for your well wishes. Miss you, Soos

Hi Grandma!! I'm so sorry to hear that youre not feeling well. Just keep your eye on the prize............you really deserve it!! willbyand

Willby, Hey girl. Remind me what the prize is? Im really not quite sure. and Grandma

Hey Sue, Dang girl, I am so sorry you are having all that grief after your surgery. Im sure you knew it would be painful but not all this..... If you can just hang in there it will be so worth it in the end. But im like you... Thats alot of work to have done at one time. But, you see people doing it everyday and its not by no means like the plastic surgery shows on tv show where there skipping all the ugly days of pain and move right to the pretty parts lol.. But your a fighter. Look where you have come from and where you have ended so far..... So you hang in and we will be waiting on them hottie!! Pics. Lol..... Miss ya Marge p.S. That about your job sucks big time. The stress alone will make an impact on your recovery... So *&*^$@$#!!$^% to them!

Hi Marg, Thanks for your good wishes. Really, for all the surgery I went thru, I think I am doing very well. Others that have had less done, have had more complications, so I am very happy and grateful for what I have and will have in the end. The only thing that really sucks is my job. and I couldnt put it into better words then you did LOL. I havent heard from them yet, so I dont know if I am employed or not, but (*&*&^$# them anyway. I will send you my new bikini pics when I am healed and all the swelling is down. Im just gonna tell you, dont hold your breath. Hugs my dear friend, Soos

All positive thoughts and prayers coming your way, Soos, and I hope you feel better soon. I'm in total awe that you were brave enough to get all this done at once, and hope the results are fabulous. Hang in there, and (((hugs))) Myra G

(((((((((MYRA))))))))))) Thank you so much. I am hanging in. Thats all I can do is hang, the good thing is that there isnt as much hanging LOL. Im sure I havent been thru half as much as you have in the past and what better way can heal and beleive in myself just seeing how far you have come. Thanks again, Soos

Soos, I'm sending positive healing thoughts your way...Get better soon! *hugsnluv* Phyl
