Glad I found the thread and can now catch up with everyone....had surgery last Monday to open a blocked subclavian graft...all went well, but gained 3 lbs that has not come off yet. I really need to get to the store, but can't yet, so I'm not eating well... There's not a lot to eat here....sick of yogurt and cheese sticks...ah well I can imagine how good a salad will taste! Hope you're all doing great...missed you!

Tomorrow is back surgery day for me. This is what I've been waiting for and the reason I had RNY to begin with. Please say a little prayer for me that the surgery is a big success! Thanks April peeps. Youre the best!

I was incommunicado when you posted this...hope you're doing well, Dori

Glad u are back! Hopefully u can recover and all will get back to its normal pace. I'm also sick of yogurt and cheese. I've pretty much boycotted it lately trying to switch things up some.

I can now see the last pages on my phone! Yay! Recovery was harder than I thought it would be from Mondays surgery. Still in the hospital. My bp dropped so low post op that they couldnt give me anything for pain for awhile. So yesterday we played catch up. I am now better with the pain which is great, but have now developed a fever of 101. ugh I just want to go home all ready.

No pain meds? Brutal..I hope you get out quickly, and feel better...I really hope this surgery is successful and your chronic pain is a thing of the past.

Today is wotking on getting up and down from bed and stairs(I have 4 to get into house) with pt and basic hygiene with some assistive tools with ot. Hopefully home either tonight or tomorrow. Will see what dr say and what bloodwork shows!

Good to hear from you, Dori...glad you're feeling better thus am, and that your fever broke...now remind me, did you have a spinal fusion? I really hope this does the trick for you. We all should have at least manageable pain.
