Surgery day.

[moosmom]

Kim,

I'm sorry I couldn't call you back, but I was at work and we're not allowed to have our cellphones on the floor. You're in my thoughts and prayers, honey!

((((((HUGS)))))

[Karen]

Our prayers are with you!

[Randi]

Kim, it's probably over now, but I hope your surgerey went well, and you can relax and get spoiled.

All the best for a speedy recovery!

Kim, I just went through the same thing in Jan. It was for the most part pretty easy. The worst was the pain from the gas they used to inflate my belly settled in my right side and shoulder for about 3 days. It really hurt to laugh, cough or sneeze so big tip - don't watch any comedies for a few days and don't let anyone tell you a funny joke. I was brought to tears by my brother from the pain of laughing at his joke.

I wish you the best of luck. Take it easy like the doctors say and let yourself recover (NO PICKING UP THE BABY! for at least a week).

Kim, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts today. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Sending you prayers and good thoughts that all will go well and that it is not serious enough to require surgery.

Well, I'm back and just woke from a nice long nap with Miss Nicki and Abby... purr therapy is definately a good thing

I was stunned when I woke up -- I had no idea where I was or what had happened. It tok a few minutes before I realized what was going on then I forced myself fully awake thinking the sooner they know I'm awake the sooner they'll send me home. I was amazed at how much I just wanted to get out of there and get home to my own bed. I nearly cried when I noticed Heather was slowing down to stop at a yellow light so I told her to just run the light (I wanted to get home!) She told me, "I am being a good driver and won't run the light, especially in this rain" then she added, "thats a big decision to run a light and the doctor sad you can't make decisions for 24 hours" LOLOLOLOL

I slept for a good 2 hours and now feel like I have one awful case of the flu. Except the flu with a strangely sore belly button.

I took my prescription Advil just now (I didn't need it when I left -- yay me! I'm such a wimp with pain, so I'm impressed I didn't feel I needed the meds!) and I have a nice hot bowl of chicken Rice soup. With this rain and now the soup, I really DO feel like its flu season and I'm simply sick.

Thanks for the prayers everyone, I do think they worked! {{{HUGS}}}

Then she added, "thats a big decision to run a light and the doctor sad you can't make decisions for 24 hours" LOLOLOLOL

Hehe, this made me giggle.
I'm glad your procedure went smoothly. I hope your recovery is quick as well!
Sending prayers and good thoughts!

Owie.... now the real pain has kicked in.

I still feel like I have the flu but now my whole stomach hurts like someone punched me hard. I lose my breath every time I move. I am starving but can't keep solids down.... though Heather has bought me ice cream and now water ice

I have a personal "thing" about anyone/thing touching my belly button. It drives me nuts, so guess what they did today? Surgery through the belly button. I'm utterly miserable and am heading back to the bed I just emerged from.

[jazzcat]

Hang in there Kim. It will be sore for a few days, just make sure you take it easy and don't lift anything heavy. I did find that walking helped the pain and woosey feeling for me. I started walking in my neighborhood on day 3 and it helped. Once you get the anethesia out of your system you'll probably feel much better.

My bellly button wasn't the place that hurt on me, it was the other incision that drove me crazy. It still itches like crazy and it's been almost 8 months.

[cyber-sibes]

Sending you prayers & good vibes.

[joanofark]

Positive thoughts, Kim! Everything will go ok!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I am glad to hear it is over now, Kim. I know, it is NO fun when they "look" in your belly via your belly button.... . I had it 24 years ago when I had a laparascopy too. The main pain was NOT in my belly but in my shoulders . Sounds weird, but that was a result of all the air they used to blow up my belly, so they could have a better look at the ovaries!
Do you have this painful shoulders too??

I wish you recover fast! No more info yet about what they eventually found??

[Catty1]

HUGS, Kim!

The hope is that they can work on the problem and you will feel like a New Woman!

Heather sounds like a doll! Ice water - and ICE CREAM! Start picking your favourite flavours while you can.

I hope this pain and wooziness passes soon.

HUGS AGAIN
