Well time sure flies! I think I say that alot, then again, I definitely "feel" it alot.
I'm a week out of surgery and I feel pretty good, still a bit tired tho. Surgery went great, of coarse all you remember is waking up in pain! Altru took wonderful care of me, especially Bertha, the night nurse who's been with Altru for about 17 years. She was such a wonderful care giver, not only to me, but to Dorothy my room-mate. At one point Dorthy's back was sore and Bertha took the time to massage her back! now that is a beautiful thing! Thank you Bertha!
I slept most of last week, thanks to some good pain medicine! My daughter and husband(that sounds so weird to say! ha) "husband". Wow! Anyway, her and I did a bit of running around, it did feel good to get out a bit! She's such a great help to me! Always love our time together! Thanks "sissy"! love you!
Monday was back to work, well, I made it about 6 hours, so about 11am I went home, slept from 11:30-3:30(didn't know I could sleep so much). Actually got a good walk in too, felt great to get out and exercise a bit!
I quit taking the pain meds Monday, have been having some headaches tho so Tylenol has been my friend! Other than that I feel great and am very excited to continue this "get healthy" journey! Biggest Loser is such an inspiration to me! Way to go Kae! and, of coarse, all the others!
Tomorrow is my dr apt. I'm excited to step on the scale! I'll keep you posted.
Have a very BLESSED and HAPPY Thanksgiving and think about all you are thankful for! There is so much!

WHOOO HOOOOO!!!! Sounds like things went great all things considered!
How are you feeling Kerri? I'm getting nervous for my surgery. It's this Tuesday.
HI Wendy,
I wasn't nervous until I was in the holding room, I didn't have time to stress because I was drugged as soon as I started stressing. They will take good care of you at Altru! Gotta tell ya, that yucky stuff you gotta drink IS NASTY! For me, I was soo thirsty when I had to go do the x-ray. be sure to ask for a bit of water to drink after!
Let me know how it goes! Be prepared for the wait......until your 2nd fill or so......
email me after your surgery, when you feel up to it. A little support is a great thing to have!
talk to you soon Wendy, you are in good hands Dr McCall is an awesome surgeon!
