Funny you should bring up eating right now. You must have ESP, as the past week I have had a terrible time with keeping food down. When a person is bent over so bad , as I am, it squashes the tummy up and pushes the food out. I have had stomach problems most my adult life anyway. It led to ulcers that wouldn't heal ~~~which led to major surgery in 2009 to revise a gastronectomy that removed a chronic ulcer in 2003. It then caused the main hole to close too tight,that food dumps into, thus the revision surgery to open the hole wider so food could pass easier took place. For a year I hadn't eaten anything (2008). But anyway, now it's because of this saggital imbalance that food won't stay down. So I am drinking boost, and taking vitamins. I am tying very hard to build myself up for this surgery. Thanks for your sincere concern my dear. I appreciate all the support I can get. I am leaving for my pre-op Monday. It takes place at Washington University in St Louis the 19th. Then back to So. Dak. And surgery Oct. 29th.in St. Louis. I hope nothing stops it. I'm sure all will be fine. How are you doing? Pain level still a problem? Oh, I want you to keep me posted too, and let me know what you decide in the future. Take good care of you~~~and hope the pain is under control. Best to you, Linda. PS I hope I didn't repeat myseof of too much about some of this stuff
