    Thanks! It's been an awesome blessing! As of today I am down 14lbs in 8 days; best part was getting off all meds. Can't believe it happened so fast! Hope your nerves have settled down a little. Glad to hear your mom was coming around. --- Yes, I felt safe the entire time. You will not have to worry, you are in good hands at OCC and at the Marriott. Good luck and keep me updated.

    Drain tube came out today, so excited. Feel like a million bucks! Neighborhood is fine. You will feel totally at ease at the Marriott and at OCC. OCC is across the street from the police station. In Mx not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing!lol. The shuttle drivers from the hotel take you to and from OCC all extremely professional. You will feel like you are royalty. I am still living on popsicles, water, tea, mainly. Had half a yougurt smoothie today and jello since they were out of popsicles.... I also had about 4 oz of one of my protein drinks today. I feel amazing my blood pressure has bottomed out! YEAH!!! It usually runs 190+/94...since surgery everyday they check it. Today was 124/77. UNBELIEVABLE! I can't stop smiling! Honestly there is NO reason for you or your family to worry. Best of luck to you. If you want to email me my address is marshasilas@gmail.com. I check it more often than the forum.

    Thank you! Surgery went great. You will love Dr. Oriz and everyone at the clinic. They have taken such good care of me. I felt as though I was family. I had very little to no pain. Day after surgery I felt like I could run a marathon. Second and third day not quite so great. Mainly just sore stomach and swelling. Drain tube sucks! I found I needed to sleep on left side where the drain tube was. It was uncomfortable. If I laid on my back I was nauseous. On my right side...bloated because it could drain properly. Anyway you get use to it. I think they will remove it tomorrow. YEAH! I have not been sick. I can't do the broth at the hotel. Tasted good first sip, after that it wanted to come up. Think I would bring Wyler's chicken broth granules or cube...something w/o grease. Popsicles here have been a life saver. Will let you know they are homemade...blended cantelope or watermelon frozen into popsicles. Some people don't like them. I thought they were better than sugary sweet ones. In summary, I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS ABOUT OCC OR MARRIOTT! MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. TRY NOT TO WORRY! STAY IN TOUCH. ;0)
