Oh my goodness! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be ok and that it was caught in time. Please rest and take good care of yourself. You poor dear! If I had more long distance minutes left I'd call you, but I fear I've already gone over them for the month!

Sending mega huggies out to you girl!

Trish, oh my woman!! I hope you're sleeping soundly now and recovering from your ordeal. It's amazing the drugs they can throw at an infection these days, but you'll be feeling better very soon. Rest up!!

Thank Goodness you went to the doc today, you are on some pretty heavy meds that will particularly help with the inflammation and swelling, which will help you feel much better and the good thing is they usually work pretty quickly.

Now I hope you're resting and maybe putting some moist hot towels on your face to help with the pain. I'll keep an eye out for your posts over the next few days and pray that from this point on everything will be okay!

Thanks for letting us know what happened, everyone was so worried.

Cindy

Thank you all so much....

Cindy I didnt think of hot towels.. but Im going to try it..

I have been in a lot of pain this evening... and the stink seems to get worse, maybe because its working it self out.. I rinsed a couple more time and large amout of yellow mucus came out I hope that is a good sign..

I took 8 Predisone today.. tomorrow I take 7 the next day I take 6... and so on until the last day I take 1

I finally ate a little today... I wasnt eatting much because I was so scared and I got very weak from it.. but once I had a bit to eat I felt better...

I think it will all get better... and Im going to learn to be much more careful and try never to PB again... Im sorry I had to go through this to make me relize that I need to watch out more of what I am doing and what I am putting in my mouth.

Thanks again everyone for your wonderful suport and caring. I dont know what I would do without you all

((((((((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
