[tri-wings] Re: I'm back

Thanks Tracey!
Everything was going according to plan.  Then, I started feeling  
awful - pains in my abdomen; really, really tired; etc.  After 2  
units of fluid in the hospital and several tests later, they  
determined that my pain was NOT related to my surgery but to  
diverticulitis and my A-Fib which had accelerated.  More meds!  I was  
"sick" for 3 weeks.  My husband would come home every day and ask if  
he should bring me to the hospital.  I finally spent 5 individual  
days - on outpatient - doing tests in a Sioux Falls hospital to find  
out why I was having so many problems.  I have to be really, really  
careful about what I eat now, but I am feeling better.  I just don't  
have any energy at all.  I went to a special church service today and  
sat through the whole thing.  I get dizzy very easily.  And it is  
really hard to exercise when you feel like you can't even stand up.   
BUT - things are on the mend.   I'm sure that my computer time will  
be limited.  Cheryl sent me pictures of the visit to Santa for  
pictures.  Dick was sitting here telling me what she sent.
BTW  I have lost 50 lbs since August 26th.  That feels great.
