back from brain surgery :)
 
yep...

I had my operation on Thursday morning.
The pain was pretty intense until about noon today.
In fact, I had to go back to emergency and get some tests run and stronger pain meds but I feel alot better this afternoon.

Let me tell ya...that was no walk in the park.
That was some major surgery! But my family and exah have been so good to me. My room is full of flowers and cards...my fridge is full of wonderful home cooked meals...and most of all, my heart is full of love and gratitude. It stinks to feel so sick and helpless but it sure does warm the heart to know that so many people love and care about you (not that I didn't know this before mind you, but sometimes things like this brings it all to the surface, ya know?)

Anyway, I'm grateful to be feeling better today.
I don't know if I'll be on the site for a while as I mend...but I know you all sent lots of prayers my way and I want you all to know that I'm okay and on the road to recovery!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!!
Hugs and gratitutde...

Mary, I've been thinking about you and praying for you every day. I'm so glad you could check in. Wow, for someone who had major surgery...brain surgery for goodness sake, you sound terrific and i can't believe this is just 4 days after the surgery.

I'm so glad your pain is easing...I can not imagine the kind of headache you must have. I'm grateful that you have your family and friends to help you so you can focus on healing.

Be good to yourself and don't push it. Let your little guy pamper you for a change! So very happy all is well! Lots of love, hugs and prayers.

Mary,
I am so glad you got through the surgery.
Enjoy the recovery, and let everyone wait on you!

I came on here today to see if you had posted on how you made out. I have kept you in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy to hear that you are doing better. I had a feeling you were in for a lot more than you realized or they told you.

Still keeping you in my prayers. You just take care of yourself - you hear! Get all the rest you need and take advantage of everyone helping you. You'll have plenty of time to return the favors down the road!

Hugs & prayers,
marteen

Thanks for checking in with us. I've been praying you had a successful surgery and it sounds as though you're doing well.

Remember, let them take care of "you" and get the much needed rest! I'm also praying for a speedy recovery with the rest of the SR 'gang'!!
