Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 It is really good to hear from you..Sorry I missed you at the clinic but you were leaving and we were coming..I stayed an extra day in the hospital only because i choose to not because i had to and was really sorry i did. I stayed in Durham until the staples came out (9 days after surgery), but we were in an RV and so our stay was much cheaper than a hotel room. We could have stayed on the hospital parking lot, they have full hook-ups for RVs for free but we thought ours might be a bit big to get in there. We left Durham and have been traveling for pleasure every since. it was a huge challange for me and it was rough on my stomach. when we would stop to get out I would have a tough time standing without my stomach being sore for a long time. I think my biggest problem is portion control. we eat out alot and that has been a trip..lol lol..One place charged me 10.00 for 2 ozs. of mashed potatoes, but most places are caring and give me somewhat of a break. I have dumped once and that was awful, I had acid reflux twice and that was nasty. i have started adding different things to my diet but water is the most wonderful thing to me. can't get enough of it. If i had a set of scales i probably would never get off so for me not having one is best...lol.We are spending the summer in Northern Indiana and will leave here in Oct. and go back to winter over in Louisiana or Mississippi.. Its great to hear from you..let me know how you are doing.
