Hi everyone. Sorry I have not written anything in a week. I have been pretty much bedridden because of my surgery and maybe a little bit because of pain pills. Thank god for pain pills! Anyway my recovery is going pretty good. I had a few bad days. Last Wednesday I noticed ozzing from my incision. (Yuck) Heather took me into the hospital. My doctor said I had a "pocket" just under my skin that is collecting fluid. He took out my staples, drained the pocket and proceeded to teach Heather how to "pack the pocket" To make a long story short, Heather has to repack my pocket every day. I could not do it if I was her! Gross! I must say I don't know what I would do without her.
I only had to do the shots in the belly for one week. My INR is 2.3. YEA! It is still uncomfortable to sit up but I am getting better every day. I start Chemo soon and if all goes well I should be doing good by September. I miss all of you. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes. Luv you guys

Thanks for the update Missy.
I have been thinking about you. :D Sounds like you are right on track and doing well.
Those type of 'pockets' are not uncommon with abdominal surgeries.
Make sure you get nurtrition and if you are able to walk ... get up and walk. Nurtition ... with chemo coming up ... nurtrition.
I am proud of you. Sending you lots of healing energy!
Let me know if there is anything I can to ... Heather is an Angel. Give her a hug for me please, she is taking good care of you. Tell her she is THE BEST and SO AWESOME!
Love you.

Thanks for the kind words Val and Jeanne. I would do it all again in a heart beat.

Just wanted to pass on my own gratitude to Heather for being there with Valerie. You truly are an angel and our entire family is so greatful to you. Thank you for the updates you have given us, they are very appreciated. I would like to meet you some day!
