Crystyll's Home at Mom's House. Yea
Thanks Christina and Kim for coming in to the Hospital to see me. I was so happy to see you.
I am home now on the other side of surgery. Yesterday was not a great day by any means and the discomfort was bad and I really didn't expect to feel like I had been run over by a truck but today has been wonderful except for the gas and diarrhea ?.....boy does it clean out. Never knew one person could be so gasy and full of S---t....and of course, aunt flow arrived yesterday right on schedual.
All you gals will know what that means. It adds to my sorrow and my moms. But inspite of all of that. I am really happy its done, and am doing really good. Mom can't even get me to take my nap today.
Tomorrow will be even better and I am going to have creme of something soup. Looking forward to my next 2 bites. I am not hungary but am thirsty and lots and lots of little sips.
I will report progress tomorrow, and let you all know what the tomorrow holds for me but today I am feeling pretty darn good considering the Dr. ran me over with the big surgical truck, I even have the tire tracks on my belly to show you.
He bruised it a little, must have peeled out fast from the Op room. But he stoped by to make sure I was all right, no hit and run here.
God Bless You All
Crystyll

Crystyll,
I am so glad that you are in better spirits today. I know the first few days are horrible.. but it does get better and you can get through it. You have a great attitude and that will take you everywhere!!

Crystall,
It was great to talk to you when you were in the hospital. You sounded in great spirits and Christina is right, it gets a little better everyday!!! So, we will see you at the next post-op meeting on the 3rd Thursday in Poway, right??? If you need anything....send me an email, I will send my phone number to you and we can chat! Take good care, sweetie!

Crystall,
Girl stop it! You are making me laugh and you know how much that hurts! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better! I was thinking of you when I went in on Sunday/Monday night/morning, whatever, and how good you looked in the hospital and how high your spirits were, you gave me great comfort and I knew it was going to be okay and I can do this. I just loved meeting you and your husband. I wish you only good things and happy days! Keep me posted on how you're doing, cause I'm right behind you.

Another Update
Crystyll called me yesturday and asked me to post how awesome she feels now. She is so happy and is no longer in pain. She is staying with her Mom right now so she doesn't have computer access.. or fast computer access.  So she is unable to post for herself. She is doing so well and I am so happy for her. Like I said before the first couple days home just suck!!! But after that.. it's all good..
Just wanted to update everyone.. thanks.
