Hi everyone. Hope all is well out there in the rest of the world. My week is coming to an end. My arthritis is finally letting up. Found out I had a bleeding ulcer that is on the mend, "sand" in my gall bladder and pancreatitis, because my gall bladder is backing everything up. I will be having surgery to take care of that ASAP. I'll also be having a tummy tuck at the same time, lol. Had to put off hip surgery for my tummy tuck and gall bladder removal because I can't control the cellulitis where it (my skin) is too thin to block anything. I find all this just a wee bit overwhelming at times. I am currently heavily medicated for the abdominal pain, so at least I'm not hurting. I am kinda freaking out about how I will look after my surgery, since such rapid changes are always a shock. Any advice on how to prepare for such changes will be greatly appreciated!!! Ok, it's past my bed time. Good night everyone!
