Now to recovery...

Well, surgery went very well! Sorry for no sooner posts, but the energy level and just mental clarity wasn't there! I am so excited to say that today was pain free. Bent down to pick up something and didn't grab my incision. WOW!
As many of you know, on the 14th, I had my gastric bypass surgery. So grateful for my friends and family who supported me 24/7 for the first week! There is NO way I could have made it alone! The food brought over and cooked in my home has really blessed my family. The people willing to come and help me walk, shower and keep sane, I Love You! God has truly taught me alot, about myself, my family and even about my friends. What a blessing, what a season of just letting go, what a time of quiet. Lord, thanks for the times of chaos and the calm.
Last weekend was really rough. Found myself in a place I wasn't prepared for. As a Mom of 5 and a love for serving my husband and children, I was really frustrated to have to know that I just couldn't serve them right now. But you know what, my precious hubby reminded me for two days that this was going to pass and was just temporary. Everyone survived the last 3 months I was pregnant with the twins and the months following when he held down the fort alone and we would get through this as well! He told me I should write a book, I really think he should: 5 pregnancies and 2 surgeries in less than 6 weeks and he's still smiling! WOWOWOWOW and here! What a testimony!
Well, more details to come! Just wanted to post something tonight. Back getting tired. May everyone who reads this realize those around them they should/could say thanks to!
Much love!

  2. I'm so glad you are posting all of this! My surgery is scheduled for 10/5, and it's great to know you are doing so well. Dr. Yasrebi is such a change from the surgeon I was working with before my employer changed our benefits mid-year, but I must say, I think that God was in it. I pray that you will have continued success, and look forward to seeing you face to face at the meetings!
