Hi ladies and gentlemen, It sure has been a long ride to get here but here I am all healthy and feeling good. With the cancelation now behind me and my new life starting there is no looking back. I weighed last night when I got home and I am down a total of 35 pounds from the start of this journey. I will not weight again till next Sunday, not sure how often I should weigh. (What do you guys think?) It hurts across upper tummy below left breast. Feels like a wave going across when I sip my Boost and fluids. Getting the three boosts in today, was having trouble getting all the fluids in earlier, seems to be going better now as the days go by. Been sipping all day long, I get pain if I sip too much. Tummy saya "whoa ..slow down girl". Moving around is great, thought I would be in more pain than I am, so been walking around house quite a bit to keep moving. There is snow and ice outside so will stay inside for awhile till I am healed and feel real good. ( I don't want any problems) Robin let me know she was keeping you all informed of my plight. Thanks for all your concern. Joyce

Welcome to the bench. It is always great to get into your own home. You sound like you are doing well.

Welcome home Joyce.

Yes, Robin has been doing a great job of keeping us informed. So glad to see that you are doing well and up to posting yourself. I can understand why you would want to stay indoors with inclement weather.

Keep sipping and continue to take care.

It is so good to hear you are doing well Joyce. I've been thinking of you while you were in the hospital. Keep up the great work.
