Checking In

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted with my husband. I was

out of it for some time.

I had my surgery on the 29th. While in the holding area, I asked for

some sedatives. This was great. As soon as they were administered, I

went out like a light. The next thing I know, I am in my room.

Dr. R. Was always around. He really is some kind of God. I had to

have a partial, (pouch without bypass) because of the liver damage he

found. I will still loose, just not as fast. This is better for the

liver.

When I woke up I heard my husband telling someone, " she had a partial

her liver is shot " . WELL after hearing that, I went to sleep for

what seems forever. I kept telling him, don't tell me about the

liver until I can understand. I was nervous. I just wanted to know

what a partial was and could I loose 100 pounds. (yes I can)

Dr. R. came to see me and explained about the liver. He made is

sound less dramatic then my husband. Like I said he is a God.

I ended up staying until Wednesday evening, mainly because I kept

bleeding alot from one of the staples. The bleeding was mostly

because of my liver damage. I wasn't losing good blood, this was

extra blood. It did take me a while to get up and walk around. I

was so jeolous when I heard everyone left on Tuesday. But I am home

now. Feeling better, but still a little bloated. I have no appitite

and feel full very fast after a sip of juice.

I don't have transportation to this weeks clinic. I guess I will have

my regular Dr. take out the staples. I will come to the first clinic

after Dr. R. Returns.

Oh, one more note. After clinic on Tuesday the 30th, Dr. R. came to

see me again. I can't believe the energy this man has. He never

rushed me and always made me feel valued.

Thank you Dr. Rutledge, you are the best, and you will always have a

place in my prayers.
