Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi everyone, I have been without a phone line (and therefore no pc access) for over a month and it's good to be back...I know you regulars don't know me too well - I only posted a few times. I need to tell you all that as I was waiting for my surgery in July, August and beginning of September I watched your posts all the time. They gave me strength, hope and made me laugh! I had my surgery on 9/10 and it's been tough but day by day I'm getting better. I want to thank you for being here. I'll be checking in every day with " my people " ! =} Angie H.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Angie, where abouts in Northern California are you? I'm just beginning the process, have the referral from my doctor and received the forms to fill out last week, will send them off next week. It will take about a year to actually have the surgery. I'll be having in Sacramento at UCD Med Center.

Well, the hospital was hell and the first 18 days I thought I had made the most dreadful decision and I was sooooo miserable. Day 19 the clouds broke and slowly but surely I'm getting back to " me " . The glue and steri strips separated around week 1 and I needed some deep stitches but they are out now (my scar will be bigger in that area). It's such a slow recovery don't you agree or is your experience different? Angie 9/10/03 300/272/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Angie Yes it was a slow recovery for me, which surprised me. But I was reassured by everyone that it would get better. To be honest, for a while I thought they were full of it. But eventually - I did feel better. Very gradually. I am 53, that might make a difference, also had Open not lap. My PMD threw me a curveball last week, I may have Hepatitis C. We did the more precise test but I am so bummed. Please let it have been a false positive!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ann- Any more news about the Hep C? I certainly am thinking about you. I had open also with the choly. I guess, 'what can we expect?', we had major surgery, duh! To Ann and all those having a slow recovery: have 'Sunrise Faith': that is, the sun will always rise and we will perservere - there is just no question that we will succeed and as Ann sez, never give up the fight!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Angie How nice of you to be concerned!! No word on the Hep C thing......I expect he will have results of the tests back later this week. I am a bit scared.
