Definitly don't feel like a Fearless Leader -- a discouraged irritated ticket off fat lady. I can't call tonight -- we've got the two grandsons and i am trying to get them in bed since we just got home from wed. night church. Then will crash! I see the doc tomorrow at 1:45 so will call you after that for the update. Hope you're well! Sorry I've been out of touch.

Hey - What did you find out today? I spent the day admitted and then discharged from the hospital -- had an ultra sound, blood work, CAT scan and then an aspiration of infection at the port site in INR (do you know that department -- intervention radiology?) My diagnosis was "infected hematoma of abdominal wall. Started on 2 more antibiotics but am hopeful things will start to improve. SOOO weak and tired tonight -- they took almost all my blood today, I think! Let me know what you found out!

Mark is traveling for business so much now and in the next few weeks; feel a bit like a single woman -- gets lonely and I like to eat when I'm feeling alone, so.....glad I can't do too much damage!

Rest up and we'll talk soon!!

My 8 year old nephew has been with us for 3 days while parents are away. It's nice to have a bender-over-er person and he is so sweet about helping. Call, if you can, in the afternoon -- I see the surgeon at 11:15 so can fill you in about what he says. How are you getting so many grams of protein? The shakes? Good for you! I can't tolerate ANY more shakes. I'm done with those except after fills.

So glad to hear from you! Things have been crazy here with Dad's foot -- having to go over 2-3x a day to change his boot and that means getting up and down off the floor -- doesn't feel great on the belly. SOOO glad to hear you're peeing! Another answer to prayer. I understand the sleeping thing -- still can hardly make it through the day w/o a nap.

Do you have a plan for getting your protein in? You'll need it for strength and healing! Glad you're swallowing well. My Dad broke his foot -- have been at their house for the last 2 days trying to help him figure out how to get around on the air cast. My body is pooped and incisions are STILL sore!

Keeping you in my prayers!

Hey - Sorry I'm just not getting back to you. Your messages didn't show up until a bit ago -- I was checking often, but it says they were posted at 10: last night. So, are you home? (Did you pee?) Glad to hear aboout your Mom. Hang in there -- I'm still weak too but just now feeling like I'm starting to gain strength.

You're banded, Jill! Congrats and best wishes! Thank you!

12 hrs and you'll be heading off! Want me to pray for a good rest for you ? Who KNOWS what will happen! LOL!

Oh, my -- I'm sure that puts you more in a twirl! But Your Heavenly Father will be with you holding you in His precious arms every step of the way. I'm so sorry you have to have additional concerns right now -- keep pressing forward because the sooner you're healthy and strong, the better able you will be to care for your parents as they need you! Praying today!! Will call later or you can call anytime if you want to!

You know it's close when you can say "day after tomorrow"! Hope you enjoyed your "last supper" and now be good and do your shakes. I'm thinking of you and praying for you. Will talk to you tomorrow!

I didn't start to feel like myself until this afternoon. I am so excited for you but need you to be careful of a couple of things, too, so we need to talk. Is Ivy better? That sounds so sad! It's so close now that we'll be banded together! When can I call?

Hi Girl! Sorry I've been missing. I had a nasty weekend and so spent most of it medicated and sleeping. Yesteday I had my post-op upper GI and they said I was dehydrated and after forcing some fluids at the hospital or a few hours, started to perk up enough that they let me go home and finish drinking.
