To: don-o
Don-o said if I send this to him, he'll ping it to everybody else: so here goes:

Thanks be to God, I'm doing great. Glad nobody asked me about yesterday, however: I was crawling down Pain Lane towards Terminally Grouchy Gulch. OOh. Uh-—my abominable abdominals! Nuff said about that.

But today was almost startlingly different. I could do all my toileting almost like a normal person (ahem) and walk without gripping onto my husband. Poor guy. I think he has my finger-indentations permanently impressed into his forearm.

My blood sugar was 101 at noon. My doctor put me on 1/2 of a crushed 500 mg metformin, but pending such good results, I may not even need that. Yahoo!

I felt lifted up to high altitudes, which I can only attribute to the Lord's goodness and the besiegement of heaven by family and friends.

Don-o is making me a sugar-free custard, everyone has been ~so~ kind, and FReeper Prayer Brigade, you have served with honor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey Girl

We are so glad to hear about your great recovery and I have a feeling it will continue to get better.....

I am real happy to hear about the blood sugar and of course doing that toilet thing is sooooo important post-op.....can you tell I am a nurse?

Please so not push yourself because you may pay for it later....I have a feeling between you and God ( the ultimate healer) you are going to be just fine.....

continued prayers.....

May the Lord still hold you close during the healing phase.

You both will remain in my prayers.

And remember, slowly, slowly, slowly, don't push anything! :)

Thanks be to God, yes. I'm so glad you are feeling much better.

500 mg metformin

My dear hubby takes that, his is 500 mg. twice a day.

My prayers that you will continue to improve. God bless you.

Glad you are feeling better and that Mr. Don-o is taking good care of you! If he doesn't let us know, ok?
Take it easy and one step at a time.
