4 Months, 3 weeks, and 3 days after my surgery, I am finally healed. The final scab on my surgical incision finally fell off today and revealed perfectly healed skin underneath. Who in the world thought it would take so long to close up completely? Of course the problem was that there was some muscle stitches left in place that were supposed to dissolve on their own…in fat tissue…which I don’t have…so they couldn’t dissolve and they kept me from healing. Anyways, what a mess! But hey, I’m finally healed and I’m thrilled.
As for weight gain, I have officially gained 40 pounds since my stay in the hospital for malnutrition. My low was 78 pounds. If you do the math you’ll see I’m now at 118. My target weight for those who aren’t keeping up with FB is 120-125. Anything much above 125 and I start to get to real uncomfortable. You know, trouble breathing, clothes don’t fit, all that stuff.
So thank you to everyone who prayed for me during this latest health scare. I believe in the power of prayer and know you helped immensely. For those who didn’t pray and instead sent their best wishes—well, I thank you too. Thank you all for caring and God bless each and every one of you. I have the greatest friends and family a person could ever ask for.
