Now that I have a new body (internally), I am continuing to learn more about it. Reminds me of being pregnant. I used to look in the mirror and laugh at my belly and Tom would ask how I could laugh at my body - I kept saying, "it's not my body - someone else has taken it over - I just hope they want it back when I'm done with it."
I was out yesterday running errands and actually tried to go see a movie today (Memoirs of a Geisha - really good), but when I got home, I took the enzymes for my stomach and didn't make it through lunch without vomitting again. The good news is, that's the same thing that happened on New Years Eve. I haven't taken my enzymes since then, and today, when I did, I was sick again. So I guess I know it's the enzymes that are doing it. And hopefully, I won't have the major 2-day setback I had on New Year's. I seem to be rebounding OK. I've had two dishes of jello since then and all is quiet on the western front. I see my surgeon next Tuesday so I'm keeping a log to let him know what's working and what's not. Incidentally, the movie is very long (145 minutes) and I could only sit up for about 25 minutes or so, so since the movie was fairly empty, I laid down and used Melodee's coat for a pillow and actually stayed awake to watch it. That's progress on a lot of fronts. Of course, the pain pill halfway through really helped!
Can't wait to sign into the blog one day and just chat without including info on all my bodily functions for your review. I know, you can't wait either. I guess I'm still fascinated at how the body works and how it repairs itself.
One month ago today, I was just coming out of surgery. I remember having that x?!#%&*ing breathing tube in and how painful it was and how miserable I was. And here I am a month later home and healing. I'm so glad the surgery got moved up, even if I wasn't ready for it at the time.
One of my Godchildren, Sandra Suane, is due to have her first baby any day now. Please pray that she has a short delivery, that Mama and baby remain safe and healthy and that Mia (Amelia)enters the world with love and prayer surrounding her. I know how good all of you are at prayers so please remember my newest little one in your prayers for me.
Love to all,
Len

Hey that sounds cool! Laying down in a theatre to watch a movie! Seriously, glad you were able to get out and do that and glad it worked out for you.
We don't mind hearing about the body! It's interesting and we know it is the topic of the day. That's all understandable.
Hope all is well when you see the doctor. Is it a month already?
Lenette,
Waht a lady of lesiure, watching a movie during the day!! Indeed, that is progress.
Cool to hear about Cody and the Music Man. Adler, also a thespian, got a supporting role in Guys & Doll at Rose-Hulman. He's pretty excited about also.
Good luck with the Doc next week.

I am sooo excited that you and Mel got out to do something so normal like seeing a movie. Even if it was in an unusual fashion.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on your bodily functions. I really do want to know those things.
I hope all goes well with the Dr.
