New Year...

           Well it is 2009 finally... I am hoping this year will be filled with many more laughs, smiles and good times; and a lot less stress, frustration, and hard times.  We had a very rough 2008 and we are all ready to say good bye and close that chapter in our life.  

           I continue to improve from my surgery, my incisions look great, I have decreased my pain medication, and I am consulting with my G.I. about what medications to keep me on as preventative.  My appetite is yet to return but my surgeon said it could take up to 2 months, I am continuing my tube feeds every night to get as many calories possible.  My weight still needs to increase though.  My G Tube got slightly infected this last week so I was put on a low dose of antibiotic, and it is improving everyday. :) I am trying to find online courses from PCC or MHCC, since CCC's online courses are already full. :( Lately I fill my time with reading books, watching my new favorite tv show, and sleeping. :) Hoping for my energy to come back full strength. :) 

           Hoping for the best this year and wishing the best for you and your families as well! Happy New Year!
