The honeymoon is over to Kris

[Guest guest]

But I do hope it returns soon. I'm sorry your having a rough go of

it lately. I hated that part. The uncertainty of what each day will

bring. I plan things to death...LOL. I probably wont be coming to

the sypmosium this year. My husbands 50th birthday is a week later

and I would like to have a big party for him. He and I have had our

ins and outs but he has taken great care of me. That is no easy task

for anyone. So I would like to repay him with a celelbration.

Anyway, I am sure I will need to save money in order to do that so a

trip at that time is not going to work. From what every body has

said the road trip sounds like a blast. Heidi might want to pack a

portapotty to take all these women on such a road trip...LOL

I still feel horrible. this pain is unrelenting but nothing like cp

pain. I am trying very hard to take it easy and am doing a good job

of that since walking is a chore in itself. I see one of the

surgeons on Wed and my eldest daughter is going to drive me. It will

get better, I just dont spring back like I used to. Sitting here is

hard because they cut me from my sternum to below my belly button and

my abdomen is very swollen. I have to JP drains also that are

driving me nuts but are are alleviating the swelling by drawing off

the excess fluids. It will get better in time.

I hope your honemoon returns soon and you will feel better and can

enjoy your yard and gardening. I would love to see it someday.

Take care,
