Good question. If I'm in a bad mood or depressed I do get mad that I can't eat much. Or if something is especially delicious. However, I'm very bored with food and especially restaurants where I usually get the same kind of food each time (chicken or salad). But, it always means I don't have to make lunch for the next few days either -- leftovers go a long way!

Good Evening AMOS Family. I am just getting home from my abdominoplasty and had to stop by and thank everyone that signed my surgery page. I am a little weak and a little high so I will have to thank you all individually later. I had my abdominoplasty on 05-05-03 and was doing pretty good initially. Later that evening I had a lot of swelling and my tummy was extremely tender. I was given more pain medication which did not seem to help. My hubby kept asking me why was I fighting the medication by not going to sleep. I told him I had to watch everything. I then became very dizzy, short of breath and sweaty. I asked the nurse to take my blood pressure. It was 55/33 with the automatic cuff. The house officer as well as my surgeon were called. The house office thought I had a blood vessel that needed to be cauterized. So, after second surgery no bleeding vessel found...just a large hematoma that had to be cleaned out. I also had a transfusion. I am home and doing better. Medication is starting to take over. Will talk to you soon. May God continue to bless you all. See you soon. margaret@goal
