Guess
I am pretty much on the mend. Feel pretty good and am starting to eat
better. This ulcer thing was quite an ordeal and this is the second time I
have been thru this. This time they took out about one half of my stomach.
So I have to eat smaller meals more often. I lost about 15 lbs during my
hospital stay and am pretty weak and have way too much saggy skin. Have
several more doctor appointments in the next couple of weeks, but looks like I
should be back to my old self in roughly six weeks or so. Have to start an
exercise program next week and do a lot more walking than I have done in the
past. It is good to be home.........will keep you updated.
Thought some of you might like to know about Emmett Crain. This was the message I received yesterday from Carole. He had to go in for surgery and ended up having half of his stomach removed. Positive thoughts for him might help.
Thanks

HI
EMMETT IS STILL IN ICU ND WILL BE THERE UNTIL ALL TUBES ARE REMOVED.
HE LOOKS AS THOUGH HE IS WIRED FOR SOUND. THE DOCTOR IS GOING TO
HAVE HIM SWALLOW SOME DYE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A LEAK ANYPLACE.
SHE TOLD US BEFORE THE OPERATION THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT IT WILL
HAPPEN AGAIN. I PRAY FOR EMMETT THAT IT DOESN'T.
LAST NIGHT HIS HEART WAS IN IRREGULATE(SPELL ?) AND THEY WERE GIVING HIM
MEDS ALL DAY AND WATCHING HIM TO GET IT BACK WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
SO TODAY HE WAS NOT ALLOWED UP IN THE CHAIR. I HOPE SUNDAY WILL BE
A BETTER DAY FOR HIM.
THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING EMMETT IN YOUR THOUGHTS. CAROLE
