2 months post-op and feeling MARVELOUS

April 29, 2003

Hi everybody!

I'm just a bit over two months post-op, and right now I feel better

than I have in 30 years. I didn't realize how miserable I was until

I wasn't miserable anymore.

Not only am I happy for myself, selfishly, but I'm also happy for my

family. No longer do my need daughters hold my hair back when I

puke, or bring me ice-packs and lay me down on the bed when I'm sick.

No longer am I asking them to get me this med, get me that med, and

to leave me alone because I'm sick. They are no longer worried about

what I will feel like each morning - " Will Mom be sick today? " . I'm

no longer ruining planned outings or vacations by waking up sick.

Granted, it's still early, and I know that. Things can return.

However, I'm celebrating the way I feel *NOW*, and so far I couldn't

be happier. My family is fully aware that there may be a relapse,

but they too are enjoying having Mom back!

My co-workers have noticed that I'm brighter and cheerier. My

parents, my boyfriend and my friends have all seen a change too. But

nobody is more aware of my new 'self' than I am. I feel like a

walking and breathing miracle. Each new day is truly a blessing.

My best wishes to all,
