HERE I AM AGAIN !!!

Well, first of all I want to thank everyone that sent messages, prayers, good thoughts, angels and hugs to me during my surgery.................IT WORKED......I can not describe how I feel. I have been blessed more than I even dreamed. I went today for my first week check up. I had lost 8 pounds since my surgery Tuesday the 12th. I haven't been sick at all and I am eating like I am supposed to and taking protein and everything. We stayed over close to Daytona at my parent's winter home after I got out of the hospital so I apologize for not getting in touch sooner. I even walked the Daytona Boardwalk yesterday. I wanted to stand there and let everyone know what I had been doing on Tuesday. I feel better than I did BEFORE the surgery already. I have missed you ALL and I just want you all to know how helpful you have been through this journey. BUT don't think you are done with me. I am going to still want to be around. I know Memorial hospital must have been glad to see me go. Between my husband and my two teenage daughters, they were constantly after someone to do something for me while I was there. You see I have never been sick much and since I AM THE MAMA, they don't really know what to do when I am down. The nurses told me before i left that i really had a group that loved me. Seems while I was in surgery, my group kept someone on the run checking and by the time I got to recovery, nurses were relaying messages down to my family. When I finally got in my room, nurses had started to ask for a raise. Seriously, it was very good to have support there. I hope all that are headed to surgery have it as well as I have so far. By the way, if you haven't figured it out yet I AM A LOSER!!!!!!!!!! Carol

Well, I personally already knew you were a loser who made it to the other side safe and sound...but that's b/c we had the same angel and Amy was so kind as to let me know how you were. I am SOOOO glad you're doing so well. You take care! Danielle -12lbs. YES, already!

Carol, It's wonderful to have you back! We saved a spot for you on the loser's bench. Congratulations!!! God Bless, Erika L

Congrats Carol! Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you finally have it all over with! Some days if feels like it's never going to happen and all of a suddun...it's all over with and your back in your precious home ready to start your new life! They didn't give you any of the sugary stuff did they? Kallen

Carol, Last night, I responded to your post on the Main board but I wanted to let you know it is SO NICE to see you back on the FL board. Welcome to the Losers club ! Amy

Don't feel bad that your family kept everyone on the run. I never asked for a single thing while I was there, so it all evens out!! Different hospital, I realize, but still..... Anyway, 8 lbs. in one week is just fantastic!!! And you're sounding pretty chipper and happy and excited and like you're on your way!! Congratulations!! Jan
