Still Alive

Bad news:  I completely missed the first episode of Biggest Loser, so there is sadly no summary for me to post.  Sorry friends.

Good news: I survived the gall bladder surgery yesterday and managed to convince the docs to send me home after a scant 10 hours in the hospital.  I’m sore and tired and pumped full of gas but happy to be alive and kickin’.  Well, maybe not kickin’.  More like hobbling along with stitches in my stomach and a gut full of air.  Enjoy that mental image!

Thanks to everyone who sent thoughts, prayers, tweets, happy thoughts and emails my way.  Knowing you were all pulling for me made my first surgery slightly less frightening, and that meant a lot.  I can’t wait to get back to blogging and reading and commenting with all of you!  But first I think I need a nap.  And maybe some more ginger ale.

  5. Glad you got through that. They umm, don’t get easier with time. So enjoy the fact that it was all new to you and hope you never have another one.

    Enjoy the ginger ale and you can watch the first episode online at the nbc website. Some crazy stories this year. :/
