Default I AM Home!

and very thankful to be here! everything went extremely well - an uneventful surgery. because of some previous heart issues my cardiologist had them give me double the anesthesia and WOW what a trip that was. i could only get one eye opened at a time on tuesday. by early evening i was able to get up and had the nurse help me do two rounds around the floor. it felt very good to be up. on wednesday the reality of having my internal organs adjusted was very real - i am so thankful for pain medications, i was able to do a total of 10 rounds (two at a time) around the floor. i was in an area that is a step down from intensive care and received excellent care. although today i wish i could fart really good i am feeling pretty good, i plan on getting on the treadmill as soon as i am finished with this post.

thanks to everyone for all your wonderful thoughts and prayers ~

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Oh JoAnne I'm soooo happy to move over for you girl!!!! It really happened!!! I'm SO excited for you and your new journey. Praying for a speedy recovery! You're doing all the right things. Some just don't realize HOW important it is to push yourself to walk walk walk. I don't mean "over-do" it, but just to get up and moving around really does help in everything. I can't WAIT to follow your journey.
