Tylenol took care of the fever a bit... still up a little, but not horrid took pain meds about 11, will take more in about half hour so I can be knocked out for a bit. no idea how I'm going to get up at home in my bed. :eek: really nervous about that my appetite has left... yay! I had about 4-5 bites of Pasta and a whole salad.. guess I'm glad I got my unfill cause I feel a tad tight. my fingers look like I am back up to 400 pounds. my 'big' wedding ring won't even slipon. :cool2: finger feels naked trying to drink as much as possible.. ok tired. later

I am planning on leaving tomorrow morning.. no idea what I'm gunna do next week.. just sitting around is gunna drive me bonkers!! I do have a ton of movies... yay sitting!! :eek: what did you do that first week or so, how did you keep from going insane??

I did post a little pic onmy blog.. walked again and had lunch, it was great! :eek: nothing really new..

well my IV is mostly out (needle in arm for another round of antibiotics) but leg compression thingys are on.. yay. DH and company are at hotel so its nice & quiet... :w00t: things are pretty good. I walked again and even gave myself a wash cloth bath.. I'm still really pale, nearly translucent (sp??) haven't hadpain meds since about 3am ish, will get more in a bit. dr p came in and offered a narcotic shot, I declined. lipo bruising is nasty bad, I'm really sore, but nothing too horrid. I wanted to thank u all again for your support, REALLY appreciate it. sorry this post is all over the place, I'm just typing as I remember... :huggie:

I'm staying another nite. BP is low (94/50ish) and temp is a little high 99.4 but my norm is 96... it'll be nice to be pampered a tad more before going back to the real world.. unfortunately, my appetite is here... I was hoping it wouldnt be, but thats what I get for being unfilled. not sure med names, I'll find out. did get the anti clot med ... burned like an MF!! holy crap. going to walk for a little more (walk off a portion of my omelet I had for bfast) and then siesta time! the surg center here TX institute for surg is amazing. great nurses! going to try to take a non revealing picand post to my blog.

sleep is in 2-3 hour spurts. liquid meds kick in fast at least... 'night

had a huge post and my iPhone crashed crap! will try more tomorrow. I did walk... it was great!

OMG... my ticker says 0 days SINCE my TT... I kinda wanted to see 0 days until, but thats ok... 3am and I've been awake for about half an hour... need to get up at 415 to shower and such, but I'm pretty much wide awake. sooooo excited, hope DrP is getting a better sleep than I am... :rolleyes2: I will post the new thread from my DH's iPhone when he decides to wake up.... (sleeping is not easy when you have a 4 yr old DEEP breathing and DH's occasional snore in the same room, but I wouldnt trade them for the world)... ok... back to bed to rest...

oh shit guys... its almost here! so excited, so nervous... so everything.. GAHHHHH I will post a new thread tomorrow am so my DH doesnt have to look for anything 'complicated' (his words)... he will post when I go in and come out... but will more than likely not read anything... if I dont get another chance, I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts, prayers and support... I truly appreciate it.

thanks guys ... i go in tomorrow morning at 6. not sure how long checking in (even though i did it on the web, im sure they will want to verify) and the drawing will take. DD is bringing his camera to take as many pics as he can (both before and after surgery) i asked Dr. P if he would take pics and he didnt seem too enthused. i dont want to push it and really who wants to see my belly lying on a table ? ick. we're picking my dad up from the airport this afternoon and then dinner and i think i'll take a valium tonight. last night was not a good night sleepwise again. holy crap nerves are really setting in. hopefully they will give me something when i check in tomorrow. i cant even imagine walking into the OR. at least with the band my IV was already started and i was wheeled in. i think here i get to walk in ... yikes!!!

Neal, so glad you got your drains out... i cant even imagine them!! when did you get the pain pump out?

awwww... you guys are the best. ok ... info on the insurance portion. i have an 80/20 plan (i pay 20)... my total due to the surgical center is 2250, 1400 is the cosmetic portion... im getting ready to go to my pedi. mmmmm, relaxxxxxxxx terri, hope things get less stressful for you... thanks for all the good vibes and prayers, they are SO appreciated.

have a wonderful trip, karey! breathe believe be happy.... C
