Mary, I'm sooo happy to hear from you. I prayed for you everyday and I sent you a couple of e-cards, hope you got them. Hope to hear from you soon. Thinking of you and sending prayers and hugs your way. Miss your great emails.
I'm having a very rough time right now, when you have a chance read my posts for the details.
Lots of Love,
Abi

Thanks all for your great replies. It's nice to hear that some of the things I'm going through are normal. It is very good to be home. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I could have stayed longer if I wanted, but it was just so lonely sleeping in the hospital. Each day I see a little improvement. And my body is slowly starting to function better. I'll be very glad when the puffy stomach goes away. I look like I'm pregnant right now :P But I know it's not actual fat/weight since I weigh less now than before surgery. I guess I need to keep eating  Thanks again for your encouragement. Hopefully I'll be back posting more frequently as I recover. I get a month off of work!!!! Yea!!!!!
Oh, and I did manage to take a shower. Boy was I in pain by the time I was done. I barely made it back down the stairs to my nest on the couch. I took Toady's advice and had my husband get a stool. That made things much easier today. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Quite welcome
Oh, and you are right about the weight loss; I was 10 pounds lighter after surgery and I have no idea if I've gained it back yet.

Hey Mary,
I read your last email but couldn't get into my work email account from home when I went to reply...and I don't know your email address by heart.
I'll be able to email you more tomorrow. I hope that you're feeling better today!

Hi Mary!
I'm so glad you're on the mend. A month off of work is just what you need to clear your head and get some rest!! I wanted to ask-- how big (long) was your prolapse? Was it constantly "out," or only when you strained?
Big hugs, and continued support for your recovery!

Hi Nelly,
Thanks for the hugs. I am definitely excited about a month off of work. I honestly don't know how big my prolapse was. It wasn't constantly out. It came out pretty much every time I went to the bathroom...straining or not. So it was pretty bad. And if I was really straining it came out quite a bit. I think it was "full thickness prolapse." Just from what I felt, it seemed like the size of a baseball at least when it came out. Do you think you might have one?

A baseball!? I didn't know that. Wow, now I'm really glad you got it fixed.
(just checking in to see if you got my post)
Check out any movies yet?
