Hi there. I just realized I haven't posted since I got home from the hospital!! I had computer issues a few times, but really just forgot to update. The short story is that I'm feeling much better! The photo was taken about 2 months after surgery. I'm now on about 1/4 the pain meds, getting out and about more, and after several months recovering I have more energy (well, at least short burst of it). I still have nausea fairly often, have had several bouts of vomiting and just not feeling like my food is digesting, feels like its just sitting in the top of my abdomen. BUT the pain is much much better.
My little (and only sibling) sister, Anna, got married on June 4. She lives in Maine. I stayed for a week at her new homestead outside of Portland, ME, with she and Terence, my new brother-in-law and Coco the dog. Anna and I spent a lot of time on wedding prep and had some fun sister time together. The wedding day was beautiful, the weather could not have been better-about 75 °, bright and sunny and a small breeze. For 2 days after the wedding I stayed with my Aunts Merry and Holly at a cabin on beautiful Bailey Island, where Anna was married. It was a beautiful little place and fun exploring the island. One morning I went exploring for a walk on my own and while looking at my damn cell phone for a signal, I tripped on a root. After a couple calls to the Dr. and when I was home a week later and X-ray confirmed the foot was broken. It seems like something new is always going wrong! I spent almost 2 months in a giant black boot. BUT, at least I waited 'till after the wedding to break my foot!
If not for the Peustow in January, I never would have been able to make a week and a half trip to Maine, and be the maid of honor in my sister's wedding. I'm grateful for Dr. Moser. If you want to see lots of pictures many are on facebook (if you're on) see my page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1138705927
I will write more details about post-surgery healing and all that's been going on it the last 6 months.
