Well how is it over there?

(null)

ts actually quite lovely. Everyone there is super nice and sweet - and not that you're really gonna be interested but some of the ladies might be - there's male eye candy EVERYWHERE!

Lupita the iv nurse is great - she's small enough to fit in your pocket - almost literally -I have horrendus veins because of all the IV's I had to have for my other medical issues - she did great. Tried one arm it wasn't a go - got the other arm right away - I'm the only person she had to stick more than once.

Everything is clean and proper clean practices are used. Itt can be a little noisy at times, but that happens anywhere. My husband was treated (as were the rest of us) like members of the family.

We stopped by the recovery house to drop people off and its fantastic - we chose to stay at the hotel which is quite lovely - hubby says the food is amazing and they've got popsicles for me and broth too :) Can't wait till I can have some broth :)

I never felt uneasy or concerned about anything. I may not work in the medical field, but my sister is a nurse, my step mother is a hosptail department administrator - I was an EMT2 and did distaster relief. Plenty of medical experience being around it enough and I was completely satisfied.

went back this evening for a quick checkup - got my antibiotics and pain meds for the night - and the blue goo to drink in the morning. They take out my iv thingy, my drain and do my xray tomorrow. Then I go home. Its been quite a great trip actually - the whole staff is so delightful.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
