jbresr Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Oh Deb such fantastic wonderful happy news. I will be anxiously awaiting how the surgery went and how you are feeling. I know all will be well. Extra healing prayers being sent your way Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks guys! Wanna know how I can tell that I'm feeling better emotionally? I've been waking up eager to get into the studio again. Methinks that says a lot about my state of mind. Just knowing that something is going to be done about my thyroid renews my hope that maybe a lot of other things will get better too. At least I'm feeling like there's something to look forward to again and that's something.

Deb Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Just to keep you all updated; I got my official surgery time today. I check into the hospital at 9 on Monday morning and the surgery will be at 11. It'll take about three hours and then another hour or two in recovery. Bruce will call Tracy and she'll let y'all know how it went. I should get to come home on Tuesday evening but I don't know how soon I'll be back online. I'm so excited!! Every time I turn my head I tell the lump, "We are *so* breaking up on Monday!" Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I am going to send you an email in the morning. A nice long one....Something to read while you are waking up. Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Did they promise you all the icecream you could eat afterwards? LOL! Yep! Soft foods (ie: liquids) are the diet for the first week. I went grocery shopping last night and have a fridge full of yogurt, pudding and jello. There's sherbet and mac-n-cheese dinners in the freezer and a 12 pack of ginger ale and lots of pomegranate green tea in the cupboard. I have chapstick (Mt Dew flavored!!) and a refreshing light mint mouth moisturizing spray. I think I'm all set for the first week. Bruce promised to make me cheesy mashed potatoes too. Yum!! I'm putting together some stuff to make mini flower pots and window boxes and planters that fits on a lap tray to work on if I get sick of watching movies and playing games on TV. I also picked up a couple of books last night--one about Greek mythology and the other is a copy of Farenheit 451 which I haven't read in ages. That should get me thru the first few days. Wanna know what I'm looking forward to about Monday? Taking a long nap! Seriously, the anesthesia knocks me out so I actually get *good* sleep and the OR and recovery rooms are really cold which is what my body prefers these days. That all adds up to some much needed rest for me and I can't wait to get there and get into bed! I am going to send you an email in the morning. A nice long one....Something to read while you are waking up Cool!! That will start my day off nicely! I just put a box in the mail to you this morning dear so you need to watch for your mailman about Tuesday or Wednesday. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Would you believe that I'm up, showered, and dressed and it's not even 7am??? And I'm happy about it???? <cackle> Yeah, that never happens! It usually takes a natural disaster or a bomb going off to get me up before 10 and even then I only have one eye open. But this is an exceptional day and I've never been happier to see the sun rise. <throwing arms wide open> Good morning World! My bag is packed, the cat is fed, and I'm ready to roll. Talk to you all in a few days! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
