Alot of updating

Well Everyone alot has happen since my last post......... lets start from the begging

Friday Jan 29th was the date of my surgery. I was not scare or nerves at all. My mom and Leo was there with me all day on Friday.. Surgery was only suppose to take 2 hours.. well..needless to say mine ended up taking 4-4 1/2 hrs... They brought me back to my recovery room thought everything was great mom was there, leo was there Renay was there...Then.... i started to get really tired... and my blood pressure was going lower, and lower, and my heart rate was getting higher and higher...i was getting my vitals checks often like every half hour i had the Doctor checking in on me alot....well later on the night when leo and renay left things just kept going down hill....i had some internal bleeding....they ended doing a scrapping my liver to make sure it was ok...and well when they did that it took along time to get it under control...well come to find out it was not 100% under control....so around 1ish in the morning i ended up getting 2 units of blood...while i was getting pocked and prodded all night long to get my hemoglobin tested...
the next morning i felt like a totally different person... that 2 units helped me majorly...
I was up and walking with in less of 8 hrs of getting my 2 units of blood!! So everything went up hill from there...
Saturday was a slow day: but i did do lots of walking up and down the halls with mom at this time the only thing i could eat was ice chips and only a few sips of water so, besides walking, and eating ice chips and watching tv it was pretty low key day...
Sunday was a better day: did lots of walking, i mean lots of walking up and down the halls...today i got Popsicles and broth...
Monday was a great day: Today i got to start on pureed food, not to bad i get full so fast... so fast..
Tuesday: Day i get to go home!! YIPPIE, i even went to target after i got out of the hospital it was great

Now i'm home been home for a few days and my mother has been helping me so much, i couldn't ask for a better mom!! Truly she is so amazing!!
I'v been eatting pretty good, its been really really hard to get my amount of water in so... last night feb3rd i had a rough night....blood pressure was high...running a temp... so mom had to call the doctor and he said it was early signs of dehydration... so i had to take a shower, and drink drink drink water................went to bed around 11:00pm and woke up feeling amazing
so far today its been a great day, i feel great!!! Hopefully the day stays that way

Thank you everyone for all the prayers and great advice and worse of wisdom...truly have some amazing friends and supporters
thank you all so much

Love: Teresa
