IT'S OVER!!!!!!

Nov 20, 2009

WOW!!!!  the anticipation of that surgery was driving me wild!  My mom is so sweet, I couldn't have my phone with me right after surgery so I showed her how to make the comment on my blog, AND SHE DID ITI just didn't want any of you to worry like I do about some of the members that take a while to post.  Anyway, its over and I feel pretty good.  I had my surgery Monday evening at about 4pm and was discharged yesterday evening Thursday November 19th.  I think the hardest part was the first 2-3days with the gas pain, my sister described her pain as breaking her in half and that was a good analogy.  But it is not so bad that it is unbearable, you can deal.  Another part I didn't like was the barium swallow, still not that bad but the stuff you drink will make you wretch, it is extremely nasty tasting but again that too will pass  I just kept thinking this is one the obstacles I have to jump over to get where I want to be.  It is really really really, super good to be in communication with someone that has had the surgery and has been through what you are going.  I would advice people to get personal with our sisters and brothers that have already had the surgery so you will have someone you can call and ask those important questions that come up after surgery.  For me that has been my little sister Donya has been a true inspiration for me and just today I asked her about the pain I was feeling behind my leg at my calf and she said "girl I had that same pain too"  but she reassured me its not a blood clot.  She knows what she is talking about (SHE IS A NURSE)   but I mean she really made it easy for me so please get a buddy, if you want me or my sister just let us know we love new FRIENDS and will exchange numbers, cause sometimes you need to call right now, not email and wait on a response (You Feel Me)

Anyway ladies, my sisters, I just wanted to give you a little update and now I am a little tired so I am going to take a nap.  Oh, I am getting around pretty good.  In and out of bed on and off the toilet and as soon as I get finished my boy-for-friend is going to help me with my first shower.  I know you all think I am crazy with the boy for friend thing, huh?  WELL, it's complicated

Love you all and GOD bless us all,
