Hospital Gown Saturday: ~285?
The brief:
I pushed and got my surgery scheduled for 11/6/08. I made arrangements for my sister to fly out and help me with the first few days at home after my outpatient gallbladder removal.
I had complications during the surgery and have been hospitalized since 11/6. My sister extended her stay but ultimately had to leave Thursday evening. My dad is here now, and hopefully he’ll be able to transition me home before he also has to return to his normal life.
I have been NPO (not allowed to eat or drink anything) for much of my time here, though I don’t think I will consider the anorexia of hospitalization as part of my weight loss journey.
Finally, my crushboy has visited me here every damn day. Yes, that’s the first time I’m mentioning him.

thanks so much for the update!!!
You poor thing – to be hospitalized (in California no less) for 9 days – you must be REALLY sick. Hope they got everything working (or I guess OUT) okay.
Were you having the – ‘You’re here, I’m here, you have to knock me out anyway, why don’t you just nip and tuck and do the tummy thoughts????’
I have had surgery twice since this whole process started – the first time was nasal surgery – and I did make the ear nose & throat docotr laugh by saying that I would be happy with my surprising me with some tummy work while I was under. . .
Keep posting please.

How are you feeling? Crushboy is nice and all, but your loving readers want to know how you are. Hoping that the complications have become less complicated and that you’re starting to heal.

I was hoping your silence meant you had finally gotten your surgery. Sorry to hear about the complications. But my heart fluttered when I heard your crush visited you every day! That’s gotta help you feel good, right? I hope to hear more about your gentleman caller soon! Feel better!

Whew… I’m so glad it is over. Sorry about the complications. Hope they are shortlived and nothing more than fodder for a kvetching session! Crushboy is an exciting development. Your posse is pummelling you with good energy on all storylines mentioned. Hang in there. Sarah
