Waving from the other side

[Guest guest]

Deb,

So glad to hear you are home safe and sound. 500 miles...wow. I thought my

100 miles was bad. I'm sorry to hear about your caffeine headaches. I hope

your body gets used to all it's new and exciting changes and you have a very

smooth recovery!

Deb - it is so good to hear from you. So glad you made it through with flying

colors. You will probably feel pretty darn good from here on out with that

nasty gallbladder out. I had a horribile headache in the hospital, too, but

mine was not from caffeine withdrawal! Gosh, why did you do that to yourself?

Well, you know the drill. Keep on sipping the water and clear liquids. Try and

get in a protein drink or two. And keep taking those little walks whenever you

can. Ain't it great to finally be on the other side?

Hey Deb so glad you are on the losing team now isn't it nice to be a loser

lol So glad you are home safe and sound >you know we use to warn people to

come off all the caffeine before surgery to avoid that withdrawal and for

some reason we have kinda gotten away from it that is something we need to

remember to warn preops about

Walk,sip, rest

Love TN
