Terri :cursing:

So Happy you are doing ok ... You must be I didin't even want to go near the computer for a day or two .. My back is what is hurting more than anything and I can't wait till we feel all better ... So happy we did it and it is behind us.. Please keep me posted.

Hi to all us bandsters. I had my surgery on Thursday, may 22nd. At home recovering, doing pretty well. Mostly only sore at the port site. I was nervous my surgery wouldn't be completed for some reason (the whole liver not shriking enough) but am happy I am through that part. Recovery I can handle!

good luck to all!!

Y'all are going to be AMAZED at the difference a few more days are going to make. I thought I felt fine three or four days after I got home, so I did a MAJOR house cleaning. OOPS! Let me rephrase that, I tried to do a MAJOR house cleaning. The first bath tub with all the bending at the waist did me in. Plus, my parents kept my son for me for a week. I went and picked him up because my railroader husband was going to be working in the railyard for a few weeks rather than on the road. OOPS! Here I am now 11 days out and I almost feel like nothing was done. I can sleep on my side again (YAY), chase after my almost two year old son AND keep the house in relative order. I even went swimming the last two days. YAY!!!!

Honestly, the thing I have the most trouble with now is having to cook for the family. I have been so hungry the last few days that it really is taking all I have in me to not just cheat and have a bite. (Especially yesterday when we had friends over and grilled some Hebrew Nationals!!!)

Good luck with it!!!

Way to go Kristy!!!

Today is day 3 for me and I didn't feel as good - there will be no major "cleaning" of my house in the near future!!
