Shocked With Happiness
Ciao da Pisa(Hello from Pisa),
Monday the 17th of December and I am sitting up for the first time since abdominoplasty on Friday, after a 5.5 hour surgery and an overnight stay in intensive care I was moved back into a regular room. Today when the surgeon came to look at his picasso I was filled with happiness and shock as for the first time in may 27 years I looked down and saw all parts of my body. This is a wonderful early Christmas gift. They told me I could have some water today and that I can eat something soft tomorrow, also I will take my first walk tomorrow. Updates to arrive soon on my new weight total
Auguri Tutti!(warm wishes everyone)
