I just got off the phone with Marie after her PS was done yesterday. She sounded very tired. She's in pain. She is in recovery. She had to have blood tranfusions, she said she will find out why later. She lost 7 pounds of skin. Doctor said everything looked good.

She'll post more when she can.

Here's to a fast and painfree recovery! Love and hugs sweetie!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

Thinking too long about doing something often leaves it undone.

I'm trying to type soon after taking a Lortab

Thank you Kim for keeping people in the loop. I wasn't sure if I made any sense on the phone. I was quite loopy with the dilaudid.

I'm home now. I needed 4 units of blood transfused. I ended up at Scripps ER. It was a mess getting over there. The Scripps nurses had no clue what was needed to be done to care for a post-op bypass and reconsctructive surgery patient. I had to remind each nurse that I had a full 360 incision and to not pull on the sheets until I lifted my butt. Then, I was served regular jello and juice. I had to remind them I've had bypass surgery and needed a diabetic diet. Then they brought broth. Couldn't have that since I'm on a 1 gram sodium restriction. I basiclly had nothing but water from thurs until I got home last night.

Anyway, my hubby has really stepped up to the base to help me out. He made me homemade beef vegatable soup with only a pinch of sodium. He's been getting up every 2 hours to help me walk.

The surgery itself went smoothly. I had such tight muscles underneath the skin that I didn't need any of it tighented up. Muscle involvement hurts more. I've seen the photos they took just afterwards. I have a flat tummy and naturally looking boobs. There's even a picture where they stretched out the skin to remove. It was a swatch of skin over 10 inches long all the way around


My tat is back in place. I feel quite taut. I'm high on Lortab I feel 100 % better today. It's like hell week all over again. Of course I'm bloated up like a dead whale at the moment.

I'll keep you all informed


BTW, I just weighed myself. I've reatained 16 lbs of fluid
