Sorry I have not written in awhile, I have been having more pain than I had expected. I just wish I would heal up so I can continue on my Journey. Each day seems to get a little better, but I am not completely healed up and that frustrates me. I am ready to start walking, exercising, going to the gym and I just can't do it. Please say a prayer for me to feel better real soon. I have an appointment with my Dr on Thursday, I will find out if I am being released back to work on the 19th of October, I hope if I am, I am feeling better. All I want to do now is relax and nap. Will write again when I am feeling a little better. Chow for now!!

Good Morning, it is a week today since my surgery and the only reason I am up this early is because of some pain I am having. It is definetly getting better, but last night was the first night I slept in my bed instead of the recliner, not sure if I should have waited one more night. Still hurts to be sitting up straight. I just want the pain to go away so I can start my exercise, but not much I can do until then.

Good Morning All. Each day the pain seems to be going away and scale is dropping, that I really like. I feel good and I am looking forward to getting up and out of this house. I am up quite a bit during the day walking around, now I need to work on being able to sleep in my bed instead of in the recliner. Hopefully by the end of the week. I have been communicating daily with my new friend, Angie, her and I had the same surgery on the same day except she lives East of the Mountains. It is nice to know that you have that life line and someone who knows exactly what you are feeling as well. Have a great day everyone and see ya soon.

Good Morning. Each day seems to be getting better, but I still feel like I am being punched in the stomach. I know I need to give myself some time to heal, but I want to feel better now. It will all be worth it in the long run.

It is now Friday and I took a shower, that was great. I am still in pain, but according to the Nurse, this is normal. I just have to keep reminding myself that once I am all healed up, I will heading out on many new adventures. Going to walk around my house for a few laps, take some pain meds and sit back down. Keep me in your prayers.

I'm Home

Well, I am home now. I stayed the night in the hospital because my hernia turned out to be alot larger than anticipated. The Lap Band went Great!! I am pretty sore, but I have some great pain medication. Luci is hanging out with me to make sure that I am ok before she goes home. She has been a godsend to me...Love Ya Luci. Well, I am signing off for now, I think I need a nap.

The Morning Of...

It is 4:40am and I am getting ready to head to the hospital. I feel like a million bucks!!! I made it through an entire day yesterday of only water, broth and jello (always room for jello) and everyone is still alive and well :) I feel like a little kid on Christmas except for me, not only is this the best present ever, I also have God on my side. Not sure how I will be feeling when I get home today, so look for my next post. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Cheers, here's to a new beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Day Before Surgery

Here I am, the day before surgery, it is finally here. I am beyond excited to start this new chapter in my life. Wednesday, September 30, 2009 is the first day of the rest of my life. I have been on a presurgical diet for two weeks and have already lost 17 pounds, that is definetly the way to start. I have got a lot of things to do today to get ready and I am to be at St. Francis at 7am. So off I go...Wish me Luck!!
