She is absolutely amazing!! Her entire team is top notch. Everyone from the sweet lady that did cleaning in my room, all the way up to the surgeon....they all treated me so well. They're there for us every single step of the way. And my primary care Dr is just as amazing. She's in indianola....Reagan Barry. I sipped cream soup tonight....Ooooh my. Pure heaven. And I had a sugar free popsicle. Mmmm. It's the little things that make me smile lol

Yes, I hope we meet up at a support meeting too!! That would be great!!

So glad to hear about our surgeon and team I'm so glad. Yay for your sips of soup and popsicle that's awesome. My primary dr is amazing too I just love her and she's behind me 100% in my decision.

My energy is better every day. We've been out at stores or running errands almost daily since Monday. My stamina is low though. I can't go for long before I need to rest a bit. I'm honestly shocked at how well I feel after having a pretty major surgery. I can't stress enough, relax and just follow whatever the team tells you. You'll rock this!!

That's great you have been out. I'm so glad you are feeling so good. I just can't wait wishing I could have it late Dec instead of March. Her insurance gal told me she probably won't let me travel to Fl for 90 days after surgery so Dec would be too soon. We are going to Disney in Feb.
