Not Happy
Oct 27, 2009
So I'm one day short of a month since my surgery and I am not happy. I was doing so good and was eating mushy foods.Then last Tuesday night I started feeling sick. Soooo from like Tuesday until Saturday night I felt nauseous ALL the time and I basically threw up ALL I ate or drank. They sent me to hospital on friday and did a UGI and it was "fine" but that does not explain all of the rest. I am so fustrated, aggravated and sick of being sick. I have lost a total of 37 pounds and I am not even excited about it because of all the sickness. The last two days I have been able to hold something down but I still have gag reflex and have to stop and breathe to calm down. I pray to GOD to get me through this because deep in my heart I really am starting to regret it.

First Week
Oct 02, 2009
Hello everyone,
Well I had my surgery this past Monday and it has been interesting week. I kept having bloody stools (8) and lost alot of blood. Felt really weak and they had to end up giving me a blood transfusion....The eating hasn't been too bad...even though it does get kind of boring but my Dr has told me to move to stage II and I'm ecstatic that I can eat eggs and oatmeal...YEAY!!! I have lost a total of 8 pounds since Monday, so I will see how that goes....my body still feels really weird....don't like that feeling too much. But I will keep my head up.

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most
gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it,
care for it, fix it when it's broken and
heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage ...
and old cars,and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, family and aging parents and grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it ......
because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away
or a sister-in-law after divorce.
There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important. We only have one.
We only have one mom, one dad,
one unique brother or sister or friend.
Suppose one morning you never wake up.
Do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home . . .
I LOVE YA !
:-)
Live today to the fullest
because tomorrow is not promised

Waiting

Ok so I have one month to go before my Surgery! It seems like such a long time. But I know when the time gets here I will probably freak out wishing I had one more day! 
I am excited and scared and nervous and happy and hopeful, ALL at the same time. It's kind of overwhelming!
