At Last!!!

Hello Everyone!!! I know the last time I posted I said I was having surgery on the 21st of june.WELL you all know how things happen? I went for my pre testing and they gave me beta blocker to take before ,during and after the surgery.I had an allergic reaction and swelled up like a ballon,then my leg wound up with an infection(celulitis) and that put the surgery on hold.After 7 days of antibiotic and 7 fun filled days of diareaI finally got my surgery on the 30th!!!!!! I'm so glad that is over!!! I had to have it open so i've been sore.But the good news is I'm alive ,and I'm on my way to a new healthy me and I feel better everyday!!!!I'm trying like hell to get all my fluids in,and I am getting better.I need to start walking.I'm showered and dressed ,having my protien drink and have good intentions of starting today.I haven't just went for a walk in so long the nieghbors are gonna wonder whats up with meTake careDarlene
