  1. I am recovering - feeling much better. Today is my last day on the Prevacid, but I'll continue with the bland diet for a week or two - and Mylanta.
    I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow. I'm trying not to get on the scale too much. It weird, I know, but since a battle with anorexia a decade ago, I'm sort of scared of scales - not the scale itself, but what it has the ability to do to my mind. I don't want to become obsessed again.
    I'll try to get on the scale once a week.

    Are you on any special post-op diet?

  4. Pika! YAY! You are still in my prayers but so glad you had the surgery and they took care of all the stuff they needed! Hope your abdomen isn't too tender and you will heal fast! Now, about that anesthiologist, could I please borrow him if I have surgery on my brain?! If that is my last vision EVER I want it to be good!!! (by the way I was gonna be an anetheiologist, does that make ME HOT? LOL, I think NOT!)

  5. Maybe thats why they are hot, so you have eye candy falling asleep? Or maybe is the pre meds and they are really nothing special, lol!! Actually, this one came to see me in my room first as I have ectopic heart beats (bigeminy) which freaked out the nurse. He came to do a quick ecg and confirmed was ok to proceed.
    Abdomen quite sore, i have 3 incisions. I just had a tickle in my throat and coughed OUCH!!!

  14. (((PIKA))) I am so glad you are home, safe and sound. Nice that you had a hot anesthiologist as well. It's always a plus to have eye candy before you go under. Now you have a week of bed, and I am sooo jealous. lol. How about we switch for about a week or two..I get the bed and you get my girls :) Just until I get some sleep. Anyway, glad you are okay and back. Big big hugs :)

  17. GD, she is cat/house sitting for her sister right now with a crappy internet connection :) She posted on the cafe a few times today..she has an infection but is okay.

  18. Oh, I hadn't seen that. Had just been wondering. Infections are horrible after surgery. I got one after having my tonsils out in my twenties. Took me 3 MONTHS to get rid of it!

  19. poor thing! infections really bite! i hope she feels well soon. isn't she going to the meet up tomorrow?

  20. Pika, Hope you are doing well with your recovery. I completely forgot to mention it yesterday As always you are in my thoughts and prayers. The pillow trick is a good one to remember. Hope the infection is clearing up. I picked up my foreign currency today. I am so excited. We are actually coming. Please know that you are have so many good thoughts and positive energy coming your way. I will give you a hug in person on Saturday next! Take care and don't do too much. We need you healthy! Hugs!
