This is such good news, Lynn! I have a smile on my face every time I

read that you say that you don't have the previous pain or the bile

taste anymore. I hope things get better and better for you.

Keep taking it slow. I know it must be frustrating, but you don't want

any kind of setback.

Your story about the meds at the hospital is disturbing. It happens so

much it's scary. You would think that they would at least double check

before insisting you take it! Imagine how many patients don't even know

their meds or are in no shape to think about what they are being given

or are getting a new med that they aren't familiar with.

Hi ,

I tell myself I didn't go into this in good shape, but it is

frustrating. I know I promised myself I would listen and go along with the

long recovery. For me this is getting very hard and frustrating. I am

anxious to get back to the surgeon with questions. Before I left the

hospital the one intern told me, I can expect to have more surgery. That

once they have opened a person up like they have me, there is as good

possibility it will have to be done again. I want to know why. If they

fixed the problem then that should not be an issue. Also, the hospital

called yesterday and wanted more information on the overdose. I was very

surprised to hear from them. However, I believe the mistake has already been

covered up. I don't expect to hear from them again though. But I am glad at

least they are looking into it.

I know you are looking forward to coming home. I always felt when

they came home the time went so fast. Enjoy her visit!!

Thanks Kathy,

The worst part is I go to do something, and get very tired. The couch,

books,

and the cat are my friends right now. It is so funny when I read Debs post

about the

animal coming in. My daughters cat was crying for me, when I was in the

hospital

they tell me. Now she will not leave my side. Even sits outside the shower and

waits for me. She is such a comfort, stays with me all night. Animals have

more

compassion then we could ever have. Hope you are feeling better and have a good

day.
