I finally made it home to Louisiana safe and sound. Thanks to all my VST family for all the prayers and well wishes. For those of you that are traveling to Mi hospital and following in my steps, Dr Garcia and his staff will take excellent care of you. Trust in God and press on. If he brings you to it, he will bring you through it!

I didn't have any of those issues and believe me if i did I wouldn't hesitate to say so without a doubt. As for Rosie I think I saw her twice. I didn't need her and she called every day. I was offered to go shopping and I declined. She felt bad that I stayed in the room but I just wasn't up to any of that, plus I was traveling alone. Had someone accompanied me on my trip I prob would have pushed myself to go. As far as being naked after 4 kids and many surgeries I could care less who sees. Maybe they can compare my before and after, lol

I was discharged this afternoon from Mi Doctor. Had my surgery on Friday. It was a great experience and I have no complaints on the care I received. Now resting at Marriott.

Just a little update: So far so good, I am being well taken care of. Dr Garcia and his team are great at what they do. Minimal pain, just trying to get accustomed to my new rumbly tummy. The first few hours after surgery are the hardest. Once you get through those it's all smooth sailing from there. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Keep lifting me up prayer warriors as I continue to pray for a smooth recovery and a safe flight home.

Ok so here's a little update. Dr Luna came along with Rosie and removed the staples. Didn't hurt one bit. He gave me some wound care instructions and advised me on some dietary issues as well. Rosie called later and offered to take me shopping or site seeing but I passed. I have to be up for 6 am to cross the border for my flight at 11 am so I will rest and pack. I know when I get home the kiddos will keep me real busy. Overall my experience has been great. I was well taken care of and I really have no complaints. The entire staff of Ready 4a change has been wonderful. I pray that my recovery continues to go smoothly and I don't run into any issues (leaks, strictures, etc). I am anxious to get home to the states and see my family.

No I'm at the hotel. Can't wait for you guys to come. I just slept off and on yesterday.

Beautiful weather. Nice and sunny but just cool enough for a light sweater or jacket.

We did it!

I asked to leave work about 15 minutes early today before something crazy happened or we got some crazy parent phone call (I work for a school system).They told me that I wasn't doing them any good anyway because I was so excited and to take my big smile and leave. All the lady's took me to lunch today(Salad with grilled chicken of course) it was sweet. They all also hugged me as I left and wished me good luck. I did leave with the biggest smile on my face and reality really sunk in that this was really happening. I started cleaning my house and packing as soon as I walked in my door today even know I don't fly out till Tuesday. I took Monday off so I could pack but its almost all done. I'm still smiling!!!!

Good luck Amy! You're in good hands. Have a safe trip. You're almost here!

I have to say that I can totally relate to how you're feeling. I'm sipping and walking but the gas pains are no joke. I too just want so bad to get past this stage and onto feeling normal again. I'm not hungry but I do miss just being able to eat if I was. At this point I can't even imagine putting food in my tummy. I hope this phase passes fast cause it definitely has my spirits down. I'm thankful to have made it out alive and seemingly well though.

DivaNurse and Susan, I'm so sorry to hear about all you've been going through. I pray that things just continue to get better from here.
Thank God DivaNurse that you made it out ok. I will continue to pray for your speedy recovery.
One of our biggest fears are leaks or some unforeseen medical emergency.
Continue to keep us posted on your progress. It's so hard being the patient when we are so accustomed to being the caregiver.
