Default quick update

well, tuesday, sept. 11 was my one year anniversary of my re-birthday

still cant believe its been a whole year

i am still eating, no problems, definitely was the gallbladder, have an appetite too, have to watch that - have been able to put on the pounds i needed to so now have to be careful - cant wait to get back to the gym to add muscle now

have my six week check up with nohr on the 25th of this month

not healing as fast as i expected, this surgery was much tougher than i expected, but all will be fine - just have to learn to take it easy, havent learned that yet, i went back to work one week out of surgery and havent slowed down, its catching up to me now - so lesson learned? i hope so.

thanks again for everyones support, could not have gotten through this year without each and everyone of you!

Happy re-birthday Carrie! Wow a year has gone already - how did that happen so fast huh?!

Glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. Have been thinking of you and crossing my fingers for a speedy recovery.

Congratulations on the one-year mark! You have been through so much this past year. It's great that you are doing better and your body is getting what it needs. And it's wonderful to see you posting good news about yourself.

GO CARRIE, GO CARRIE!! It's yer berfday, it's yer berfday *doing the happy dance very carefully with my cane...*

I'm SOOOOO happy to read your weight again! I worried when it was down so low that you couldn't print it, and it symbolizes your return to health to me! I've worried about you for so long, I'm glad you're feeling better. ((((Carrie)))). It seems that recovery after the stuff people like us have had is verrrrry slow and long, which definitely sucks. But it sounds as if you are on the right road, which is so lovely!

Welcome back from the edge, Carrie. Now step away from the rim slowly so you're not blown away by the next strong wind!
