Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 Oh . So happy for you. So looking forward to your posts when you feel better. Trude and I sent our packets in today, hoping for early November, which is 2 weeks away! Wish us luck, stay well, and write when you can. We've missed your voice.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 Hi everyone, Missed you all, although I tried to read mail at least once since surgery. I got home today from Durham and am sooooo happy to be back. I had a rough day yesterday with depression, all emotional, etc. but I'm fine now and feeling much better physically too. At clinic this morning before we drove back to Atlanta, Dr. R reminded all of us that we are not the same people we were before surgery. Our body is different. Our lives will be different and we need to remember that. I had to laugh when (another post-op) said he felt like there were rocks in his gut because I have the same feeling. Dr. R replied " Gee, I can't imagine why....except that someone was stabbing and stapling you inside four days ago! " The great part about Dr. R's procedure is that you come through it so much easier than open surgery. But that makes you forget that there was still someone doing things to your insides and it is still major surgery and you need to be patient and give your body time to heal. Anyway, more good news is that I have lost 10 lbs (on my home scale) in 6 days so I'm on my way.
