It's 4:20am and Molly has made me her secretary to create a new blog post. She has done really well and surgery was quick and successful shortly after noon on Tuesday, September 8. Lots of walking already with bearable pain. Had a few visit visitors and has napped off and on.
Of course, she has had the left shoulder pain and is now hurting some with movement at her incision sites (5 of them). She is very tired of the leg squeezers but knows that she must wear them all the time in the bed.
The GREATEST nursing staff and CNA's are here at the Baptist along with the docs. The surgery went really well per Fuzz and the only unseen problem was a small hiatal hernia which is now repaired. Apparently 40% of the population has one and doesn't even know it!
Anyway, she just got more pain meds and is a little warm and wooozy now.........very smiley! Her Mom is happy she is going to rest cause I need sleep too! HAHA!
Thanks for all your phone calls, texts and especially your prayers! Molly loves all of you and truly values your friendship.
We hope to leave this afternoon after she has the mandatory barium swallow to check the band position. She will write as soon as she feels stronger.
Love to all,
Da Momma and soon to be skinny meenie, Molly
Thanks for the update! We'll continue to keep Molly in our prayers.
