reconstruction update

I am still around but this last surgery was painful. I have a doctor appointment today at 8:45am and hopefully my drain can come out but probably not as I am still draining. The expansion process is painful but surgery went okay with no complications. I have been just to wiped out from the pain and slept a lot last week. The holidays this year are grim for me. I didn't do what I normally did in past years. My strength has been a factor with this latest surgery. My neighbors will miss my cookies this year...hehehehe!! That always put me in the mood for the holidays. Last year I made 41 different kinds of cookies. When I wanted to laugh or smile I would just cut an ugly square...I've rec'd fabric with Pink Flamingos on it to fabric with a zig zag in the print. Hugs, Pami

You get a free pass for the holidays. I'm hoping your neighbors will pitch in and deliver cookies to YOU! I agree with CATS...this is the beginning of a whole new year and a WHOLE new you!!!! I hope your pain eases soon....just take care of yourself and don't try to do too much. KJ

Pami, gentle hugs for you, and you just keep on sleeping whenever your body wants it. That is very healing in all kinds of waves. You are one of the bravest women I know. We're there with you every step of the way. I'm glad it is going well so far. Keep up the good work, kid.

Glad to hear from you. Sleep and rest, and who cares about cookies anyway. Hope you get your strength back quickly.

Pami - I don't think I would stress too much about Christmas..........you are doing GREAT! Just concentrate on getting your strength back.....and, think about all those cookies you are NOT eating LOL! My dd made 21 dozen cookies this season and gained 5 lbs!

Continued good luck with the remaining procedures.....and have a good time with your UGLIES! I can't wait to see all that you have and what you do with it!

I know the holidays this year will be tough for you. It's hard when you don't feel up to doing all the things you usually do (BTDT...). BUT WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE AROUND TO SHARE THE HOLIDAYS AND THE NEW YEAR WITH!!! Sit back, relax with a cup of tea, and eat a cookie someone else made. You're excused from everything but mending this time around! We are all pulling and praying for you.

Pami, given you've been through the wringer, it's no wonder you don't have the strength or the ambition to do much right now! That's ok - I'm sure everyone understands and if they don't, well, that's just too bad LOL -- give yourself a break, though, you have been through a lot; I am praying for your continued strength and health. You're all set now to greet the new year with the 'new you.'

You're right to rest, Pami! Nap lots, and keep taking those vitamins! In my book, you're definitely the Cookie Queen even if you never bake another one! Forty-one kinds of cookies!!!! I bow in awe, oh excellent Highness! You could even put the Cookie Monster into a cookie coma! ;D chipper

Hang in there, Pami! By getting the reconstruction done, you're going to be set to embark on the New Year.

Omigosh, pink flamingos??? And I thought the square I sent was ugly--and it was! This is going to be one "interesting" quilt. :-) What fun!

Pami,

Thanks for the update and pray you are feeling better, you are on my list of prayer concerns, and will remain there until you are completely well and then some. :)

I bet some of those ugliest make you laugh and some are probably worth crying over or would that be you laughed so hard you cried.
