Blank
620923_tn?1335125657

I tossed my cookies 2 times. Either cus of the Anestesia or because that area of the brain is the control center for nausea too and if its disturbed you will feel sick. I was able to handle the morphine with some pepcid.

Ha ha Selma you noticed ;) Thankx for help on that - it just dawned on me the other day i did that - but anyway - so, anyway, most likely from medication and not anything wrong with the surgery. Ok, good to know.  And thanks for posting her FB updates.

Shannon asked me too, so I am happy to do it.....

if it had been from surgery she would still be sick...and much more so then she was.....a CSF leak will make u really sick.

Glad u got the name taken care of and yeah I noticed : )...it was a new name with a familiar face : D

thats really good news (and kinda bad) but i been thinking about her, and wondering how shes been...Some people do get sick from the meds, and some even have allergic reactions to the meds so thats probably why they are not too alarmed....when i had surgery i was in the icu for 3 days, then reg room for 2--sounds like shes doing pretty good!!   Hugs to ya Shannon-- Hope you have a speedy recovery!

got my staples out today and we are suppose to fly home tommorrow BUT there is a chance I have a fluid leak, so I'm laying flat the rest of the day and I have to call Dr. Heffez in the morning. If the spinal headache eases up and things look better in the morning then we will come on home, but if not then we may be here a few more days. Please say a few more prayers my friends!!!!!

You guys have no idea how much your prayers and support mean to me!!! I am home and have loved on and been loved on by my kids, family, and friends. And i'm being a good girl and resting like i'm suppose to! Its kinda hard not to because my whole family has turned into "wardens" lol and constantly tellin me to lay down or fussing if i try to do anything, but i know they are just doing it for my own good! I just cant tell you enough how much all of you mean to me! Thanks so much!
