Thanks for the great photos - LOVE the little orange tummy pillow - you are same starting weight as me - keep us updated on how you're doing - which doctor by the way ? -

My doctor was Garcia. I'm doing all right, but I developed thrush from the antibiotics, I'm still very swollen (surgery was Tuesday and I'm holding about 16lbs of water), and a little soreness and diarrhea. Other than that, I'm perfect lol.

The hospital is florence Oasis and hotel is Marriott. The Marriott was nice, the hospital was a little third-world. Lobby and exterior were nice, but patient rooms were pretty bare.

The stuffed tummy was a nice touch.

I call it my Franken Tummy by the way. I bruise easily, not sure that comes through in the photos, but I look a sight!

The bathroom pic is disgusting. Kinda scary looking at that pic. How clean was the hospital? Did you use that bathroom??

[chickadee73 57]

Yes, I used the bathroom. Showered there everyday. The hospital is not like a US hospital, but it was adequate and the staff, though most seemed very young (I wondered if some were old enough to drive lol -- could be I am just getting old!), seemed to genuinely care about their patients.

Is that the hotel or hospital bathroom. Yes, disgusting!

Oh my!! Looks real sanitary!!! I hear the nurses sell your pain meds to the janitors!

I had a friend that walked into a janitor shooting pain medicine in between his fingers!!!!

Be careful walking the halls girls!!

Lol! Oh sweetness that's funny! I still have her!

She lived, thank goodness. But she was scared for her safety when she walked in on that man!!! I will say after seeing that bathroom she should of been scared for a lot more than just that man!! Oh my!!
