I am truly on the other side! My surgery on Thursday went without a hitch. I have had little discomfort and was discharged less than 48 hours after my surgery. I had no complications and want to thank everyone who wished me well and said an extra prayer. I am feeling surprisingly good and expect to return to work on Monday. I must be crazy! But staying active is important to me and I will have fewer problems if I get on back to a regular routine. The worst part was probably getting a urinary tract infection this morning (blast those Foley catheters!) which kept me in the bathroom every 5 minutes. But I got a dose of Bactrim and Pyridium before I left the hospital and am MUCH better now. I am amazed how I feel after eating a very little bit. Last night I ate a couple of tablespoons of applesauce to get some medications down and felt as if I had eaten a couple of plates full of spaghetti! I ate a some Taco Bell pintos when I got home from the hospital and still feel comfortably stuffed after 2 hours. This is exactly what I hoped would happen - satiety with a small amount of food. I want to thank my special angel Linda. She was so there for me and for my husband during this time. She came to the hospital at 5:15am and stayed until I was out of surgery. She kept you guys updated and was so supportive through everything. There is just no way to adequately thank her. Linda, you are truly a compassionate angel. And I love you!

Hi again....I went to the hospital to visit Anndrea today...She is out of ICU and in a nice private room....No IV's, no catheters, no compression stockings....In fact, she was trotting up and down the halls when I called earlier this evening.....She is doing so well that she will probably go home tomorrow.... ANNDREA--WELCOME TO A NEW BEGINNING!!!! Love you both....Good luck!!!

Andrea, I'm thrilled you made it to the other side! You'll have to let me know how Dr. Weil's Healing CD worked -- he's my hero! Get well and let everyone in the support group know how you're doing!

Hi Anndrea!! Glad to hear you're doing great!! You keep up the good work! Just think - you're on the OTHER SIDE now!! How wonderful! I'm so very glad for you. Please let me know how you're doing. I'll be thinking of you!! Cherie

Hi everyone....Andrea is officially now on the "other side." Her surgery was delayed a couple of hours this morning because Dr Stahl was needed to assist on another surgery...Her surgery began about 10 AM and was over between 12:30 and 1 PM....She did very well, came through with flying colors....She will be in ICU tonite because of sleep apnea (SOP), but hopefully will be moved out to a regular room tomorrow after drinking the lovely yummy barium stuff to check for leaks.... If anyone wants a personal update, feel free to call me at home (205) 733-4398 or email me at [email protected]....
