Leak?

Hello!!

I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

Really weird ???? But you get to eat? That's great!

I am not sure if I can eat. Everyone who has cared for me has a different idea. Things will be delayed longer because I am transitioning care. My nut can't see me until she has medical proof that I am safe to eat. So some how she will need to get documentation that my leak is healed. I called to get this process started.

Wow Sannah, I feel so bad that everything has to be such a long drawn out process!

It will just be so nice when you can do some things normal again!

I SO agree. It's going to be unbelievable to do some normal things again!! Kind of feels like I don't know what normal is anymore. I can't wait to eat food again. Also to learn what I like and enjoy to eat!!!

I guess if you look at the bright side, which you kind of have to after all the bad that has happened.

You will know better than some how to appreciate the little things in life.

Whether it be a meal or going for walk with your husband and daughter.

It's nice to be able to not take those things for granted.

Sometimes really bad experiences open our eyes to just how good our life's are.

Don't you think?

Sannah,

Where are you in Oregon? I am on the south coast.

I am so sorry to read all that you're going through. I hope you're on the road to recovery so you can start putting all of this behind you, and play with your baby girl. I will say prayers for you!

So it's raining great news in my world!!

I did have and still have a tough time with my heart. But the cardiologist had so much good news!

Then today I was able to talk with the surgeon who did my stents, my new doctor and that agree that I can now have PURÉED FOODS!! This is a big deal!!! :) I am so happy!!!

I bought some squash to try tonight!!

I can't believe that is happening!! It feels so amazing!!

I am going weekly to massage and acupuncture!! I started this today. Man it feels good!!! We are working on some points to help with how cold I feel!! The lady I see her hubby had the by pass and complications. So strange... So she gets what I am going through!!

I hope that some kind of greatness has influenced your day too!!! If it has I would love to hear about it!! :)

**HAPPY DANCE**

Best,

Sannah

Oh Sannah that is wonderful news!!!!!

I'm a so happy for you!!!!!

I'm doing the happy dance with you!

I might even keep it going for about 30 minutes and consider it my cardio for the day :P

Try not to worry if you can only do a few tiny bites at first. I was in awe at how little I could get in... Just plan to spend some time getting that yummy nutrition in your body!!

Woohoo!!!
