A Leak! You HAVE to be KIDDING!!!!!

Sorry I haven't updated! Surgery was a breeze! Very minimal pain. I think I only used my morphine button a handful of times and that was when I had just woken up. I had a lot of nausua when I first woke up but that quickly went away. I have had a lot of gas that feels uncomfortable in my ribs but other than that I am up and moving. I would also like to report that I am down 20lbs!!!! 11 lbs since surgery!!!

This IS happening!!!

What a WONDERFUL day! I had my stress echo cardiogram done today and I am happy to report that I AM HEALTHY! I just have a low heartbeat. My heart only beats around 57 bpm. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th and I am so freaking excited! I have read so many inspiring stories and a few scary ones on here. I am really hoping to have one of the inspiring ones! I have everything ready to go to the hospital and everything I will need when I get home. I have my kids taken care of and husband
