Road to Recovery

Hi everybody!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm doing great! I'm moving a bit slow, but I've been able to walk up and down the spiral staircase a couple times a day. Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and yummy chocolates! My appetite is coming back and I'm able to do a lot on my own. I can't laugh too hard and sneezing is difficult. But, I'm only taking my pain meds at night to help me sleep. My sister has been awesome and making me tons of home cooked meals. She's my only sister, but she's the best! Shawn has been so amazing! He is my pillar of strength!

This post surgery pain is a piece of cake compared to the pain I was having before the surgery! That's a good sign, right? My doctor says that I did really well considering the 4 1/2 organs and tons of scar tissue that were removed during what was supposed to be a 4 hour surgery that turned into an 8 hour one! Whoo-hoo! I think I will spare everyone the details this time, hee-hee! I will be homebound for at least a month so I welcome any visitors! I can give you all the details then if you want, ha-ha! Just give me a call (510)638-2638.

Thanks again for all your love and support! I appreciated all the wonderful emails and phone calls. I didn't have to go through this alone! I felt the love and it's been helping with my recovery! :)

Big hugs and hope to see you all soon!
