78. It was rough for me.
Sun Jul 31, 2022, 12:44 PM
Jul 2022

I've been in such pain, I have not been able to come online or even think. I was dealing with an infection as well of the surgery. This surgery is not as easy to do as some say. Maybe, I have a low tolerance for pain or maybe the infection prevented me from healing. Today is the first day that I feel like I am finally on the other side of this. I've been really weak, unable to drink any protein drinks or even much water. I've had to have several IV infusions this week but finally, yesterday... I drank 2 Premier protein drinks and three 16 oz bottles of propel water.

I am so sorry. Mary. I prayed for you. Joinfortmill Jul 2022 #1
