The Candidate

Congrats @@JamieLogical!

Excellent suggestions! Thanks for sharing! I used to do those latch hook rugs as a teenager and young adult. I'm going to look around for some kits.

Thanks James! There were quite a few I didn't even know.

Thank you @@FrankinTexas! I'll accept that seat. ????. How is your recovery coming along?

@@maregal We share a surgery day! So happy to hear that things went well, and I'll second that: feeling better all the time. Good luck!

Welcome aboard and best of luck on your journey to health!

I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's loss. The emotional upheaval from that alone is overwhelmingly traumatic. But as you said he wanted you to be healthy, and you need to be healthy for yourself most of all. I hope the road ahead is smoother. Best of luck on your journey!

Congrats on your amazing success. The goal post is so close you can almost touch it! You look great!

Thanks guys! Feeling better. Everyday is improvement. Only 4:30am but just so much time you can stay in bed without going stir crazy, so went walking. Hope my doctor gets here no later than 9 am and releases me, so I can detach myself from IV, drain, and pain pump. It was tough, but absolutely no regrets. Ready to start my new healthy life! ????

Yes in hospital now. Had bypass on 29th. Should go home tomorrow. Yours is coming up right?

It's hard to get in and out of bed but having no problem walking. It hurts when I breathe though and on front left side under ribs. Took gasx seems a bit better. They let me take a shower and that was the best! Doctor says I should be able to go home tomorrow. Very tired. Thanks @@dbfn!

Forgot I had them! Will try now. Thanks!

Appreciate it @@no onions Off to walk again!

Thank you @@dhrguru! Thank you too @@Bandista!

Waiting desperately for the farting as know it will help. How you feeling Kate? Keep smiling!

Had rough time last night but feel better this am. Just got back from walking. Bad gas pains. One day at a time. ????

As a Kaiser graduate myself I know exactly how ecstatic you are feeling right now! Congrats on your major accomplishment!

Thank you so much @@JustWatchMe!

I tell you what helped me with the waiting was getting an old fashioned paper calendar and then crossing off each day as it passed. Just a little psychological boost. Congrats!

Wow, that was like hitting the trifecta lottery of NSV's! Congrats!

My throat didn't hurt from the anesthesia tube, but it was dry and scratchy from not being allowed water for the first day.

It's there just look on the nutrition tab.

@@Julie norton Thanks! Veteran is what I aspire to, most definitely! One day at a time.

Thank you so much @@pink dahlia! I always love hearing from you, and appreciate the thoughts! Doing very well so far.

Morning @@dbfn! Thanks for the well wishes and tips! They are much appreciated!
