Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Well my sister is home safe and sound. Thank the good Lord! She went home on Wednesday evening. She went home with the catheter which she is really not happy about. She is getting it removed next Friday the 25th. She is counting the days. She is in alot of pain where the incisions were. What she had done was a laporoscopic pyleoplasty. I got the technical term of it. I actually watched one performed on You Tube. Let me just say I am glad I saw this after she had it. Blech! Now we just need to get her through this week with the catheter and then 6 weeks with the stent in and hopefully this nightmare will be over. Again, thank you all for your concern. It means so much to me!

My plans for the weekend are to go up and see her and try to catch up on stuff. I have so many "flagged" emails to reply to, blogs to catch up on, TV shows to watch and phone calls to make. But it will all get done eventually.

I can go for a big glass of iced tea right now. Speaking of iced tea. I thought you all should know that I have given up my addiction to McDonalds Sweet Tea. It was honestly getting too sweet for me. I'm sticking with my iced coffees from Dunkin Donuts and my once a week treat of a Java Chip Frappuchino from Starbucks. They are just too expensive and I'm not Rockefeller. LOL! Just a note to those "watching their figure"....you can get ANY frappuchino in light form, not just the coffee light and mocha light. Awesome.

I'm glad your sister is home and it's all behind her ...I hope she's not in too much pain. I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
I tried the sweet tea and thought it was great, but I'm more of a iced coffee fan!

Thanks C.S.! Your thoughts and prayers are so appreciated! Talked to her on the ride home from work. Looks like she is finally eating a little solid food. Well if you consider a scoop of egg salad solid.

Mmmmm....iced coffee. I can go for one right about now and it is almost 1am..ROTFL!
