Hello everyone sorry I have been MIA since surgery, but it's been a long road. Well I am officially on the loser bench.  I had my surgery on April 2, 2010, my new birthday.  Surgery went very well, but because my spinal cavity was too small for an epidural.  So after surgery I was in excruciating pain. They kept me heavily sedated on diloted (sp?) so I was bedridden (BAD).  I was discharged five days later.  Came home and 24 hours later re-admitted for PE...I had a blood clot in my lungs.  I continue was just discharged today and I doing well.  I did develop seroma? and my doctor took care of that right when I was discharged. I am now on Coumadin for 6 months.  GO figure.  But God has been good through it all, he has brought me through and blessed the doctors to find the clot before some more serious damages or even death.  

My friends have asked me have I felt any different in weight, yes I have lost.  The funny part is I noticed in my legs, my fingers and thighs first, the other spots hmmm, don't know.  My highest weight is 260 lbs, Surgery weight 248 (after 1 week liquid diet), day re-admitted 248 and today I am at 238 22lbs lost total so far....So I am going to sign off and get some rest but before I go I have to say thank you to a couple of people that has been there for me these last two weeks: laceylynn123, jjpink1, Star Jones and thank you Fervent4Jesus for your visit, it was well appreciated and cherished.

Good Nite OH Fam
