I am having so much trouble getting a lot of liquids in. I just don't have enough time to do it. I have also developed this horrible rash on my left arm that itches like crazy.  I noticed yesterday that if I drink crystal light, hawaiian punch, and when I eat it gets worse and starts spreading.  So I am assuming it is a reaction to something but I have no idea what. I am down to 190 pounds which has slowed down some but I think part of that is due to not getting all my liquids in and my body is holding on to what I got. I managed to get about 32 ounces down yesterday better than my normal 12 to 20 ounces.  Yeah I know I REALLY need to work on that. I have to find a time to get into the doctor to see what it is all about.

Feeling ok except they sent me home with my drain tube still in.  Was going good until I had a coughing fit the first day home and really aggrivated it.  So that is my only sore spot.  Not using any pain meds so doing pretty good. Found sleeping on the couch with a lot of pillows I can lay on my side to take the pain out of my back and rearend from laying around so long at the hospital! Moving around really good was actually considering a movie tonight.

I finally got a date!!! April 29th is my big day or shall I say little day!  26 days and counting!

I went to see my surgeon on 8/30/07 and am still waiting for my approval.  Nurse wanted more testing because of insurance, my doctor said I don't need it so he doesn't want to do it.  Mean while I had the nurse from the surgeons office ask my insurance company to send a request to my doctor.  I still haven't heard anything.  The nurse told me that once I am approved surgery will be 1 to 2 weeks after that. It has been 3 1/2 months still sitting here waiting.
