It has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything and so much has happened in that time.One... and this is a big one... I had my surgery on 10/11/10...
My youngest son was there with me, he even came up from out of town so he could drive me to the hospital. He has been so supportive and he is so happy I am doing this... a couple of years ago he was so worried about me that he cried... I can never forget what he said.. He told me that I am a wonderful woman who he admires so much and he sees that I am as good a grandmother as I was a mother and he wanted me to be around so his children could know how special I am...He was crying , of course I was crying...He is my baby... my fourth... all my kids are great and I am thankful to have wonderful relationships with all of them, but my youngest and I have always had a different kind of relationship. Anyway... He was so happy for me and it was great to have him there before then took me into surgery.
Three days after surgery I was already off all pain meds..I still have more then half a bottle left. The first week or so I would get tired easily and slept alot, but I expected that. The second week I started getting a little restless... wanting to '"do" something...
I am off my blood pressure meds and off the diabetic meds... Things are really going so good.... I can not wait to see what this year brings...
I have made plans to go on a cruise to the bahamas for my 50th birthday in March... that is 5 months away.. if I can loose at least 20 pounds a month between now and then I will have a great time...
Going on a cruise is one of those things I always wanted to do and never did... so now is the time...
I went to the doctor to day for my follow up after the surgery... Dr Shieh told me how really empressed he is with my progress and attitude... and he released me to go back to work on monday... I am so excited...
