I went to my Dr. Guske yesterday to have my staples and drain removed. I was told to get on the scale too. Imagine my surprise....in the ten days since the surgery, I've lost 25 lbs. I know my eyes increased when I saw the scale read UNDER the 400 mark. My sister-in-law, who was with me, wanted to cry. I was just glad to know that the past week wasn't in vain. It DID hurt, but the pain is slowly going away. Even now, I feel much better than I ever thought I would have the day after surgery. To the pre-ops, there's no way to imagine the pain involved after the surgery, but it does lessen dramatically with each day. Do your best to focus on other areas....such as walking to certain locations. My thoughts and prayers are with all the pre-ops as they prepare to take their first steps on this journey.

Howdy all!!! Well Miss Elsie called me yesterday..She is staying with her Brother and Sister-in-law while she heals..She is only able to do 3oz at a time of food or she starts getting dumping feeling *told her thats a good thing since I don't get that feeling* She had her brother take her to the mall to get a dress she wasn't doing well with pants on the incision ..While she was at mall she saw a Beauty Shop so she went and had her locks washed and styled *we all feel good after that eh Ladies??? LOL Elsie sounds great and I thank God all went well for her the pain she is having is a good one .. Like were all told growing up.. takes some pains to be beautiful on the outside :)

Well Elsie Dr said she was looking good gave her lots of orders and sent her home...I went up this morning and visited a couple hrs... The first thing I saw was the famous Vampires TRYING to get blood..*I think we all faced those last days of no veins left to be poked* SO I stood outside and out of corner of my eye I saw Green so I looked down to her feet*note Elsie collects Frogs* here were a pair of Frog slippers LOL Oh!!! and they had a matching robe to go with them LOL.... Elsie is a trooper I'm sure the nurses will never forget the froggy stylin ..Elsie looked great a bit of a sore throat and bum and she has along ride home...So i'm sure we will be hearing from here soon

Lloyd and I went to spend the afternoon and evening with Celi yesterday. She was doing very well and was moved to her new room around 8pm last night. She took her first walk with her brother, Mike. Her spirits were good...but she is thirsty as a dry sponge on a hot day! :-) Hopefully, she will be able to have a sip of water today. Her only complaint was that her butt was getting sore from laying and sitting for so long. They said that she may be released Saturday or Sunday...depending on some tests.
