Well, she did it! Mom got her surgery done and is doing very well. She had a tremendous amount of pain the first 3 days. By day 4 she was doing much better. Her Tummy is flatter than mine and her chest looks better than mine too. The doctor also made her a new belly button. I am amazed! Mom fought a migraine headache the first 3 days after waking up from anesthesia. The headache finally went away lastnight with the help of a migraine medication. The docs kept trying to treat the migraine with plain pain meds which didn't work at all. Mom is taking purcocet and ibuprofin for her surgery pain and another medicine that I have never heard of to treat the migraine. She is up and moving around more now and has discovered the more she moves the less it hurts. It is good to hear her getting mouthy with the nurses and it is good to see her smile and ask me to call people and tell them to come see her. Those first few days were really bad for her. She thought she was going to die. I can't imagine what that must have felt like. Mom will be in the hospital until the end of the week. Her doctor wants to keep her as close to Morgantown as long as he can incase there are issues that come up unexpectedly. Thank you everyone for your prayers. they have been felt and are still being felt to this day.
