Well my friends, it is done

Jun 19, 2009

My stomach is now the size of an egg.  I now have 5 very painful staple sections in my abdomen and I'm on clear liquids only.  Came home from the hospital yesterday and I have to say, I've had my good moments and my bad ones.  Want some advice?  Well here it is ... DON'T STOP TAKING YOUR PAIN MEDS.

These meds are making the difference between life and what seems like death.  They kick in in about 15-20 minuts and the first hour after that is GLORIOUS.  The last 30 minutes before you take them again, now THAT sucks.  I'm really trying, because of a family history of narcotics dependancy, I'im trying to be very strict with what i allow myself and what I don't.

Having said that, take all you can. Its is CRUCIAL.  Much more than that I can't really tell you cuz i"m still just kind of "achin it out" over hear.  I go for my weekly follow up on Friday, June 26 so we'll get a better idea of where we are.

I"ll keep y'all posted
