Felicity good luck with your surgery . Hoping for a speedy recovery for you .

1. Good luck Felicity. You are one tough lady and i know you will recover quickly and will be back in the lounge soon.

I have to add my good wishes to the group. I'm sure that you will come through your procedure and feel much better.  Our prayers are with you and yours.

Thinking positive thoughts for you!  

And it starts...

Best of luck, Felicity! 

READY FOR BATTLE, AND YER GOIN WIN!!

It's nice of you to try to cheer us up with your picture.

It appears that you have a good heart. or face or something inside .

Whatever the situation,  keep smiling. 

Now is not an appropriate time to remind you that manure happens.

Keep strong. 

Well Zvitusk, Manure happens !! lol

Well, kido- As your reading this, IT IS OVER !!!!!!!!!!  Thank goodness!! Love your picture.. :-)

Hope you got the pain meds going and rested ------ Get alot of staples?? They didn't bother me much having them taken out--but when they came in to take them out?? I told them "When you put me out you can!!!"   had 2 different types,, The long 7-8 inche jobbers HOOKS- had to say in for 4 weeks- was in nursing home and learning how to walk again with those-- :-(  --- Now that was a different story-but better than what I made it out to be.. I think staples are better scaring and easier taken out than the cat gut ones..  Now, sip your liquid diet..... and better days ahead of you--- I am so pleased it is over for you ---------- and me..

Get well soon! Marcie................... Your on your way--- :-)

Tricky finger there "Z" ??????? 

Isn't Fleicity a trooper!! and  in her get out??? Looks kinda sad, but yet, ready after these many weeks of Dr. appointments and readiness. And she is squeaky clean with her pre-operative soap..  How I hated that when they did me. Got it 3 times, as they didn't address it on my chart.. I was in so much pain, I couldn't move, and my tummy was so puffed up like I was 18 months preg.. Wish I had her position to do it yourself. more control--but that saved her a few days in the hospital.. and that is a good thing..  The count down is on for her home coming!!!!!!    YA!!!!!!!!!! 

Good news!

Don't forget to gift the nurses. Bribery works wonders to ease your stay under their control. 

My wife used to bring boxed donuts and cookies. When I asked that they allow me to sleep from 12 to 5, i got some cooperation. 

It also helps to smooth the ruffled egos, when I got nasty. 

Nothing says " I am sorry" like a Linzer Tort. Or "thank you".

Once the effects of the anesthesia wear off and  your intestinal tract works , they will let you go home. 

Something to look forward to. 

They finished me up at about 6 yesterday eve. I've got an epidural in giving me light pain control, dilaudid prn.

Feel like somebody has stirred up my insides... Waiting on breakfast rice crispies, milk, toast, bacon, hot tea and jello. We'll see how much I manage. 

Glad that's over with, Felicity! Nice to see that you're being given solid food this quickly!

Sounds like good progress, keep it up

You did it Fleicity!!  ITs over...  Your healing will come together well-Look at that food your getting already- Grab a few tea bags and sippie on those during the day--I think that u did bring your own I recall..  I always do--- Hot eater right down the hall..

Wednesday will be a better day and so on...... 

KEEP THAT SMILE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marcie.............. 

Felicity

Glad to hear it all went well . Now starts the healing you will do fine . They are already giving you food ? Good for you they wouldn't give it to me till they said my insides wake up was about 3 days for me . Marcie see she gets Bacon .... -:) . Hard part is over now Felicity now just rest n take it easy for awhile .

Hang in there Felicity! I'm so glad that it's all over for you and your now on the road to recovery. Can't believe they've given you solid food so soon I had to wait three or four days I remember that. Must mean you're doing really well. Glad all the waiting is over with and all the fighting with the docs to get it done you're on the Speedy road to recovery now will be thinking of you. Barbara

You  had a lot done in there!!  things were moved around a lot checking every inch of you-so yup- gonna take awhile to re-adjusted again--Remember you HAD a very Major surgery and It can be a good year until your feeling normal again.  Let everyone take care of you!! And ENJOY it!! Something on the floor? kick it aside as I did (hopeing that someone would put it where it belonged) -- so I kicked it again-- and again and so on.. So kick up your heals  my dear, and get well enough to come home- :-). Marcie-p.s. I will try to send u a picture of my cat so your cat wont feel sooo lonely------ I put up the tree today with tinsel this year.. Mr. Poo is a pretty good cat, but should be interesting.. If not?
