Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • Ok so the whole uterus removal process started on Thursday, June 28th. I had to stick to a clear liquid diet all day. That included clear flavored Jello, broth, and popsicles. For breakfast I had a cup of apple juice and a popsicle, then Candice and I headed out to Target. I’d been told to…

  • Hey y’all. Thank you for all the sweet emails and comments. Thanks to Lisa for updating while I was in the hospital. I feel like hell. The first couple of days home it hurt getting up out of bed and off the sofa but otherwise I was feeling fine. Hey! This is no biggie! People…

  • Hey y’all! So I’m home. I came home yesterday afternoon. Lots to tell you but I’m pretty doped up so I must go lay down again soon. Thanks so much for the emails & cards etc. Y’all rock. Oh, I did take some pics. Go here to see!

  • At 8:52 CSP called me and quickly handed the phone off to Shannon.  She is out of surgery and recovery!  Shannon is on all kinds of drugs, and is still in a bunch of pain.  As we were hanging up the nurse was there with some Demoral (sp?)!  Hopefully it will knock her out so…

  • That is how CSP answered the phone when I called to check on my best friend Shannon.  Of course he was just kidding.  He only answered because I threatened last night to call every five minutes until he answered. ;)  He said Shannon was still in surgery.  She was supposed to go under the knife at…

  • Me: Yeah I’m having a hysterectomy on the 29th. Her: Oh wow. I’ve had a few friends have one of those. Me: Oh yeah? Her: Yeah. So take it easy and don’t over do it or you’ll pop your stitches and your intestines will fall out.

  • You guys are so sweet and I just can’t tell you how much I adore all of you. I’m way behind on answering emails as my cough meds knock me out for a lot of the day and I spent yesterday afternoon with the garage door installation man. Oh, and I’ve been getting lots of…

  • Friday morning I went to my regular doctor because I can’t seem to shake this coughing/sneezing/can’t breathe thing, then hit Target to get my prescriptions. Then I had to go for my anesthesiology pre-op appointment. On the phone they told me to bring my cpap machine, which I did, which they didn’t need. I was…

  • I can’t believe it’s already June. I’m excited though because I’m less than 30 days away from my hysterectomy. Woohoo! On a less gynocological note, today is Papa & Gigi’s 1st anniversary! This year has really flown by. Here’s a pic from their wedding last year on Pawley’s Island. I love this picture. You have…

  • I’ve received lots of emails and comments about the new country and I’m composing a FAQ post to cover everything, but it’s not quite done yet. It will be up soon though. I want to make sure all of my facts are straight. I’m currently in a back and forth with our new case worker…
