I always hit the odds!



Recommended Posts

Well I had my follow up appointment today and I was given a perfect bill of health. Which as some of you may know is a blessing at this point. I sat and talked with my doctor about my experience over the last couple of weeks and he informed me that he has never seen a patient develope a leak the way I did at a month out. Why is it I always hit the odds when it comes to rare events? I wish the odds would fall in my favor for the lotto. LoL Anyway My leak is healed my pneumonia is gone and my lung has opened back up. I am back to myself for the most part..

Such great news!!! I wonder if it was there the whole time? Do you think something happened that made you leak so late or it just didn't heal right? I remember my first C-section I had a stable get twisted and it opened up within a few days. Could have been something like that.

The doctor thinks it was just a pin size hole that overtime turned into a bigger problem.. I had a drain tube in for a week and never had any problems with the purple koolaid showing up in the bulb. Sometimes things just happen for unexplained reasons. I am just glad that I am back on track and loosing again!!

Oh wow, so how did you know something was wrong? How far out when you had symptoms.

I am so glad you are recovering well.......why do you think your recovery is going so smooth??? Did you have surgery near you or far away? How did you get help?

So many questions.

So glad you are feeling better! Yep, you sure did hit the lotto -- next time, you gotta try a big lotto just to see if the odds are still with you :lol: But, seriously, I'm sooo glad you're better!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
