Didnt mean to be rude

If you'll read other people's posts, you'll see she had major complications that most people don't have. Iggy Chic has been through so much! All of us on here are here for the same reason-for support & encouragement. I try to make sure that's what all my posts do.

No problems.

Surgery 10/25, home next day 10/26. Shopping 29th with Water and Protein shake. No problems. Had others carry bags and drive. No pain meds since hospital.

Thurs 8/30: Sugery in Mexico (horrible night felt like I was going to die, threw up blood for hours after surgery)

Fri 8/31: Rested all day @ the Hotel Ticuan; walked around to get out the gas

Sat 9/1: Woke up feeling 100% better, up and out shopping, walking and getting my nails done in the streets of TJ

Sun 9/2: Taken back to San Diego, went to church, beach, & rented a car to drive to LA to visit family

Mon 9/3 (Labor Day): Flew back home to KS (car broke down in the HOT HOT heat had to walk to a gas station) Cleaned up the house and did all my laundry from the trip.

Tues 9/4: Went back to work, drove myself, no problems

Still tired and weak from lack of food/water...I'm trying to do better but I work 60 hrs a week and have 5 kids so forgetting to eat and drink some days.

Day58? Seriously? Are you just lazy?

Please remember to express your opinions and be respectful to others.

Thanks.

That was not nice. Jaggy chic has gone through more than most of us here.

I love it.... You not only embrace the fact that you are lazy (hehe) but you have a good spirit! Seriously....glad to see that all is going well. I am still afraid that complications will arise but laughter and the inspiration on this site is proof that we can get through anything. Sleeved on 10/26 and going to Vitamin Shoppe today. The biggest concern I have....none....it's cold out and I would rather sit here and watch TV under my blanket.

Day58? Seriously? Are you just lazy?

wtf? Shut up. Everyone heals and feels differently. No one should be made to feel guilty for taking longer than others.

yikes. I was a little late to the game, obviously! :)

Yeh back off wasn't meant to be rude, get over yourself. I was just suprised

I wasn't allowed to drive for two weeks. Day 8 my daughter took me to the mall, huge mistake. Igot weak lightheaded and almost passed out. And that was only 15 minutes after we got there! By day 14 I was able to get around much better but still had rough spots. Take it easy and have someone with you

I was sleeved on the 11th and drove on the 13th. I was allowed as long as I wasn't taking pain meds, and I wasn't. Didn't take any at all.
