Thanks, Demi!
I had my surgery at 7:30 on Aug. 26th and got home on Friday, Aug.  
29th.  All went well + they also took my gallbladder & stones that I  
was unaware of.  I'm just now getting back a "little bit" of energy,  
not much mind you, but even with my cast still on my leg and foot,  
I've lost 14 pounds since surgery.  Since I still have the cast on my  
right foot and leg, walking is still very difficult but mandatory for  
recovery.  I'm going to try to clear away the 400 inbox messages in  
the next couple of days and check before deleting the 600 junk  
messages.  My daily schedule is spent eating, drinking, and taking  
meds.  But it will get lots better.

The only problem I've had since I've been home is my a-fib out of  
control due to lack of medicine that will go through the G-tube.  And  
- my G-tube has plugged a couple of times.  I'm sure that most people  
on Family can relate to that, but I ended up making a two hour one  
way trip back to the surgeon to get it unplugged.  Thank goodness  
that my sister was here to drive me as it was the first day of school  
and my husband would never have taken that day off.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and thoughts.

Always there for a Hug and a Prayer!

SOrry i'm so behind in my mails, I've just clocked you've had your  
surgery.  I hope everything went well and you're up and about soon.   
Thinking of you.
