Christmas Cactus



No, we didn't decorate the trees outside---too much snow!

Everyone wish Heather good luck today! Bye, girls :)

Thanks! I am home and doing pretty well. My head hurts more than anything else. I can't really tell how things look, but they are up much higher.

Thanks for the card, Gram!

Love the picture Peg! I can't wait to visit your house someday.

Glad to know you got home. I was hesitant to call. Didn't want to wake anyone up. Still have the headache? What does the Dr. think it is from? Call you on my way home. I love you.

Did you get my card Heather? I know it was WAY late... but I didn't have your current address 'til I went home to Dad's for Christmas. I thought the snowman nipples were tooo funny to pass up and all too appropriate!

Love!

Yes, Cas - I did get your card the day before surgery. Very appropriate and I got a laugh. Good to hear from you

I am doing well today - Not much pain and my headache is gone for the moment. I go to the doctor today to get the bandages off and my first peak at the new "meat bags" We'll take a picture tonight and post it. I am finding one small problem with them though. If you know much about my bowel movements you know that they aren't to regular and throw in a change and I am plugged for weeks. Well, my stomach looks huge now that my boobs are smaller. MUST LOOSE WEIGHT!!!! Or at least eat some prunes.

Don't worry--your stomach will go down. When I had my surgery, my stomach was HUGE for almost a week. I thought that when they decompressed my spine, things got moved around and now I had this huge pot belly! I looked like a sausage.

The morphine definitely did not help as to being regular, but colase helped. BTW, a while back, I saw these individually wrapped prunes and bought a canister for you. I thought that was so funny--not only because they were prunes to travel with, but because of your Dad's old comment that Deb would have bought individuaI raisin holders if Tupperware made them!

I was crushed when Michael told me they had been out for a while and that he had seen commercials for them. So...I never sent them. I assume you've seen them.

Anyway, don't worry about your belly. It will go down and you'll look great :)
