LosingInAlaska

Sorry! I have just been out of it!

I have not been feeling horrible, but a bit lethargic. I had to fly home for over 24hrs (including layovers) so that set me back a bit with no sleep. I landing back in my village yesterday around 11:00 am, went home and got greated by my two minions with 4 paws and and to deflect the jumps of joy and was not able to sleep. But When 10:30 pm rolled aorund I went into my lazyboy and did not wake up until 7 this morning (best night sleep in a week). Anyone else having trouble sleeping lying down? I also have a HUGE bruise that goes across my stomach, which I believe is from pulling out the 15 INCH DRAIN TUBE! That sent a jolt up to my shoulder. I have been doing great on the water. It goes down easy. The protein shakes I just cannot finish. I am trying 1/2 cup of Tomato soup and 1/2 cup of cream of wheat (odd combo, I know) tonight to see how that goes.

I flew down from the Alaskan arctic to Tijuana...

I am in the hotel right now resting. I was flying for 24 hrs and had very little sleep. Haven't eaten during that time either...and not hungry...not sure if it is nerves or something else...

getting close!

Thanks for this overview of your surgery/trip. I have my surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz this coming Monday and this calms some of the nerves. Odd question, though. My information packet from ALighterMe says to bring money for tips...does anyone know the appropriate amount?

Hi dtiller1147~ I have my surgery next Monday, the 20th. Good luck!

I have my surgery a week after you in TJ and I am also flying down from Alaska.
