Thanks for all the Support!!

Aug 07, 2010

I just wanted to quickly write and thank everyone who posted on the surgery support site.  It is so awesome to know that there are so many people out there to help me through this journey.  It has certainly begun!  Today is DAY 5 for me and I'm feeling pretty good.  I'm getting a good amount of fluids and protein in.  I haven't been constipated and pain has been minimal.  I sleep pretty well at night and haven't gotten sick at all really.

All the prayers have been extremely helpful and definitely heard.  I whole heartedly believe that God has been taking care of me through this ordeal and as each day passes I believe it even more. 

Thanks again ... til next time.
