I bought a black robe of a very nice fabric. If it weren't for the drains tucked inside it is practically evening wear. Good thing cuz I w e a r it to Breakfast every morning at the hotel. Tomorrow I s travel day. I feel some anxiety over it.

I had no idea you live so close to me Jane! Seattle is just a hop skip and a jump up the freeway from Portland.

You're doing great! It sounds so painful and I am such a baby when it comes to pain. I don't think I could do it.

I have a 22 pistol. I can't shoot it. I have a really hard time with the kick back and the noise. I want to shut my eyes and shoot. It's wierd. I hope you do better than me.

My notions about the pain etc are way different than reality. I can sit and walk fine. I spent few hundred more on first class to be more comfy. I have wheelchair assistance arranged so I don't have to stand forever going thru customs.

The big challenge is moving slow to not risk complications. The tight garments help protect fascia. This photo was me when I had more drains tucked in fanny pack. I am down to 3 now.

Love the fanny pack. They come in handy. I even slept with mine for 2 weeks or so. Good luck traveling and enjoy those 1st class seats. I'm sure you'll be glad to get back home.

LoL Considering the common old world definition of "fanny" Its only appropriated that you sleep with it. :)

Is your hair naturally curly Jane? I could totally see you with a 50's style Elizabeth Taylor short 'do!

Yes that is natural curl but i am not quite ready to let go of my long hair yet. My caregiver showed me a new way to put my hair up that i cant wait to try - a going out hairdo! My hair doesnt suit current flatiron straight styles so i play up the curls to be different.

Totally love the languages of love. It taught me a lot about myself and to better appreciate how others' showed their love for me. Which style is yours? To express and to receive?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
