I Am Sleeved By Dr Aceves
Well surgery was yesterday in the am. I was out of it all day fading in and out. i did get up and walked twice but that was it. i feel a little crampy and sore more so than pain. The cramping is in my chest. IS THAT NORMAL?I was told that its probably the drain. I can't explain its like a funny sensation I have been tolerating my liquids very well no vomiting or nausea.No purple in the bag. I lust feel tired sleepy with this weird sensation I am hoping is the drain. Dr A and Dr C are great they are checking on me around the clock. The nurses are so sweet and compassionate.I feel like a celebrity So I just wanted say hello and thanks to all of you who have prayed and sent out positive vibes. Luv u guys

Ok ya'll...wow the time has finally come. I can't believe I am actually about to do the damn thing. I am so excited. At first yesterday when I left home I was feeling down. But as the day moved forward I was feeling better in better. My life is about to change for the better. I am going to be fabulous. I can't wait. God is good and my life is good and I have so much to be thankful for. I will be picked up tomorrow morning and will be heading down to Mexicali. Wow I will be sleeved come tuesday by Dr Aceves. WOOOOOO WHOOOOOO!!!!!. It seems so surreal I just can't believe it!!!! The trip across the country was ok until we did our transfer. OMG I almost could not snap the seat belt....i was like if I had to ask for a seat bealt extender i would have been mortified. Besides do they still have seat belt extenders?? Anywhoo thankfully we will be taking another plane home and hopefully the seat belt is better. Other then that. I am excited...too bad its cold here in Cali and cloudy but who cares I AM HERE. FIrst time in Cali and I'm gonna have some fun. LIfe is good. I do have the last residual effects of a cold I am gettting over and I am congested, I hope this does pose a problem for surgery. I have a cough and I am a little stuffy. I hope ill be ok, Btw I am recording my journey and posting on youtube under MsLadyKanKan if anybody wants to check me out. You'll get a chance to see the hospital and all that stuff. Ok there u have it. Send prayers up and I'll give an update after it's over.
