I will start by saying that I do feel so much better since this procedure on Friday evening.
My stomach has finally waking up and I have a bit of an appetite. I actually ate a little chicken noodle soup and held it all down perfectly well so far.
I'm walking a little more today to make sure things stay good before they actually send me home, which I'm really hoping will be today, if they think I'm ready.
Although I'm happy about the 20 pounds I lost this week; really not the way I wanted it to happen.
Mark has been the best through this entire ordeal, with the exception of having me drive myself to the E.R. that night. Poor Mark, I'm never going to let him live that down. He remembers
the ordeal I went through last year with my appendix; being sent home and then back in for 8-9 days because of an obstruction. I think in his mind, he thought if I waited until my Dr.'s office opened, that my primary physician would admit me to his office or something? He has been by by side the entire time; listening to me moan and cry about the pain, helping me bathe and encouraging me to walk as much as I can. Thank you again Mark, I love you with all my heart.
Thank you to everyone who has been following this blog, and sending me well wishes through Face-Book and Twitter. I have a wonderful support group of friends and extended family here in California. Being from Alabama and so far away from my blood family, it has really meant the absolute world to me.
