Aug 23, 2010

well, i see it's been 3 years since my last post. where DOES the time go? the short version-complications out the wazoo! ulcer, stricture, bowel obstruction, radiologist f****d up my ulcer tube, pulled my stomach away from abdominal wall, pierced it with the guide wire, developed a MRSA infection in my old stomach, 4 surgeries in 5 weeks, dh thought i was going to die TWICE, didn't eat anything for 2 solid months, lost too much weight too quickly, looked like hell . don't remember 4 months of my life save my son's 17th birthday, constant pain.BUT since recovery i worked at GM Lordstown for 5 months and went down to a size 6, looked like i had cancer again, spent a summer on unemployment, got to enjoy my new grandson, and still do,got a new job ,am abundantly blessed, got back up to a comfortable size 12, stayed there since december '09 and am doing great! exceot for the searing pain in my puoch that i think my be from cinnimon crunch bagels with lowfat cream cheese from panera. i know, i know ishouldn't be eating them, but they are my only guilty pleasure. won't eat them for a while to see if that's the true culprit.. all is fine, all is good. glad, now, that i did it, bur whew! what a bumpy ride. blessings to all,kate
