Well my port is on the right side so I think that might be why it's so sore (the liver and all that). Either way I ate a Jello cup and filled myself up! It's amazing!

Hey everyone. I don't want to clutter the board up anymore with another thread about me so this is gonna be my update thread. I stayed overnight at the hospital and it was a wonderful experience. They came in every few hours and took my vitals, gave me pain meds whenever I needed them and served me my liquids at meal time. I was released this morning and I am home now. My port is super sore but none of my other incisions are sore at all. I am soooo ready for the port to stop hurting. How long did it take for everyone else's port to stop being sore? If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I finally got my approval from Aetna. I did the 6 month diet and it took me about 2 weeks to get approved. Just wanted to let everyone know that you don't have to do the 3 month diet. Thanks for everyone's support through this!

After having my last meeting with Dr.Carcamo, I cannot recommend him enough. I've come into this whole thing extremely nervous and he (along with all of the people on this board) have put me at ease. When we sat down to discuss the surgery and the insurance approval process he took control of the whole thing and told me EXACTLY what was going to happen, what his staff was gonna do and how soon I should be hearing from him about scheduling the surgery. I also did not have my EKG paperwork (which I did) so he just asked one of his nurses to do an EKG real quick. While I was in there he was setting up two computers for his nurses. And he kept joking with me while his nurse was setting up the EKG. How is everyone else coming along!?

I should be having my surgery in less than a month. I'm starting to get eager and apprehensive. What did everyone do to overcome these feelings or if you even had them? Thanks!

What would happen if Barack Obama were Assasinated?

McCain's speech really caught me off guard. It was very gracious. But to touch on the subject of the thread, I really do not have any fear that he will be assassinated. I know it's a possibility, but I have faith in the Secret Service to protect him. They are much more advanced and more powerful than they ever have been in the past (be that good or bad) and I think they could stop any attempt on his life. -
VERY snazzy. I love it!
We've been through it all!
