She called me a few minutes ago. I had t laugh cause I guess I sounded the same way on Monday!

She wanted me to tell you all that everything went well. She's a little nervous about the night staff at CMC, they haven't been as attentive as the day shift. I told her to call her daughter, who had just left, and get her to get on there backs. So hopefully she will.

So thats it for now. Have a good night.

Hi,

I spoke with her yesterday afternoon. She was frustrated they turned her morphine off in the middle of the night! Go figure! She wanted to leave but she had to wait to finish eating and then go to the BR. So I'm not sure if she's home yet or not.

I'm hanging in there, but exhausted! Yesterday I really pushed myself and today I can't eep my eyes open. We have caompany that came in yesterday and they are great. I went to grocery store with my daughter and then we went to someones house for "dinner" last night. Now I'm home alone for a few hours and going back to bed. I really think I pushed it to much yesterday, although I thought I'd be up and running by now :(

My only real complaint is the iching of the large insision. Should I put some ointment on it? I think I know why I stayed 2 nights. Most everyone I've heard has only had 5 insisions I have 6 there was alot of scar tissue from my gall blatter surgery mad it tougher on the doc and I guess tougher on me.

night night...

Hello Ladies, I back. All is well, I feel a little sore and sleepy after I take my medication. I was released around 7 pm yesterday. Overall, a good experience with the exception of the night staff. Once my daughter called and spoke with someone, they were acting like they were very attentive.(they said in error my meds were cut off.) sure. The next day was a good day. The Bararum test went well. Didn't get to see Dr. V. - was wondering if he was allowed to see me in the hospital. Dianne glad to hear you're doing okay too. Talk to you guys later.

Welcome home Starr and congratulations!

You and Dianne seem to be doing great!

Melissa, you're next :)

I hope/pray to have a date by time we meet again. I can be patient when I know there's an end in sight. Not knowing if/when that end will come causes anxiety!

Congrats Star and Dianne!!! I am so happy for you guys. Sorry I have been out of the loop. Busy as a bee over here. My daughter had her birthday as well.

Let me know how much you have lost so far? It is so exciting in the beginning to see how much you can lose in those two weeks. I lost 17 pounds those first two weeks. But that liquid diet isnt that fun, but you will survive I promise!! Mix up a bunch of yummy Protein shakes and you will be set! Can't wait to see you girls in November and see how different you look.

Melissa good luck to you! When is your date again? I am so out of the loop right now it isnt funny! :)
