OKay, no I am not that good, surgery was cancelled today because the OR Air Conditioner broke and condensation was everywhere, so I am now rescheduled for tomorrow at 11am, so take me off the August 4th list put me on for tomorrow... ughhh the frustration because I had the IV, Heprin and booties all ready to go...

Well......... DAMN!

Breathe in and out, and keep reminding yourself that you have no control over the situation, and so therefore, you can't stress out about it.

Try to relax..... watch some trash on TV or something

Hugs,

Karen

Oh my goodness, that must have been so frustrating!!! Yikes!!! Hope everything goes well tomorrow!

Oh my gosh! That stinks! Hope tomorrow goes better. We'll be thinking about you.

Best of luck to you tomorrow!!!

Thanks everyone, well I came home and got a lot of things done I had on my "to do list" so that helped. I also took a nice long nap, I feel better well one thing I found out was that I will be spending the night so I am better prepared for that too... But I figured another day of as much soup as I like:thumbup: I love soup so that will really help me through my liquid stage of all of this...

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you!

Hey Soul!

It's 8:21pm here in the big D, and I'm thinking about you!!

Best of luck tomorrow!! I'll be rooting for you, and saying a prayer..... and most of all, getting ready to see all those before/after pix you're going to SCHMEAR all over the net, cuz you're going to look so SMOKING hot

Hugs,

Karen

Here I am six days post op, still not feeling like myself but feeling better, I can stay up a full day, but I find that it doesn't take much to fill me up, I only had to take my pain pills once yesterday and dose of liquid tylenol, I wish my pain meds was in a liquid instead of pills it would have been easier to take.

I don't know if I had fill, but I still feel a lot of restriction it takes a long time for me to get a cup of Water down, much less any thicker fluids...

I have this ball under my port that has developed over the past couple of days, i spoke to the surgeon and he said he doesn't think it is anything but I will keep an eye on it and call my primary doctor if I am still concerned in the next few days.

other than that the left shoulder pain is still there, not as constant as it was but still as annoying.

Hey there I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better ! and making some progress, baby steps but we'll get there together !!

I am feeling better too. I am still a little to wacky to drive. I have been in the house since Sunday. I am still very sleepy or just no energy. The gas is better. It comes and goes not rather than just sit ther all day. I am still trying to get in the fluids, which cause pain when I drink. I weigh in in the morning...my butt has shrunk and my face looks slimer. I want to start a slow exercise routine, but I dont' have enough energy. I don't want to get flabby.
