So far so good, I feel a lot better than I thought I was going to. Iv been really lucky and have not had any complications or anything like that. The staff at St Joes was fantastic. The hardest part of my day seems to be getting all my pills down, break them up into little pieces then swallow them one by one, man do i get full and fast lol.

Anyone know some inexpensive places to get clothes? Iv been looking at garage sales but im tall so its hard to find the 22, 24, 26 tall. Iv had a lot of people find me 16 and 18s so that helps a lot for when I get there. Any tips would be great. Thanks!

YAY congrats! I could have gone home the next day if I wanted to but I asked to stay another night so I had everything under control and felt confident in what i needed to do when I went home. I was still a little out of it and just didnt feel ready to go yet. Go with what your body tells you, I have to listen to it a lot more than i did before.

WTG & welcome home, Loser!

Post a separate thread on here for clothing needs. It may get buried in this post otherwise.
Also, check www.craigslist.org for clothing or post for a need there.
We also have a spring & fall clothing swap event, so watch for the fall one sometimes toward September, since we just had the spring one last month.

Take care & keep sipping your water!!!

Congrats on your surgery! Wishing you all the best as you recover.

I would try some thrift stores many others have had good luck. Unique is one that I think it talked about the most.  Don't get too much as you will see the sizes drop quickly.

God Bless, Angela

I was checking out the thrift stores within the last few months to get an idea what I'm looking for.  There are a few in town where the clothing is a mostly supplied by some of the churches in the richer areas around here.  There's always lots of jeans, slacks, and sweater shirts.

www.craigslist.com is great.  I know some message boards participate in clothing swaps (I know www.renewedreflections.com has a board section specifically for this).

Plus it's garage sale season!!!  Get on out there!
