Right now, I am in the hospital waiting room, for going-on five hours, waiting for Steve to recover from the lipo-suction procedure. They fully anesthetized him, which makes sense, but I was unprepared for that part of it. The other MS patients staying here, who have already been through the lipo, say it is the worst part of the treatment. Many of them have a very difficult time with it, since most are really thin and have very little body fat. Usually, they end up poking around several different areas, including the inside thigh. That has to be really painful!
The doctor just came in and told me he made it through okay. It was a huge relief and I started crying, not realizing how worried I had been. The accident from last week is still very much on my mind. Life is fragile and precious.
Steve Update: Yeah it was no fun but other than some soreness and having to wear a girdle, not too bad. I do allright being knocked out.

Okay...i got the girdle part down (Unfortunately!)...but the long needle and "stroking" motion might just do me in! I would have to have it done on my thighs (of course probably the most painful place)....well, maybe I should just exercise more and hold the "tostadas!" Drugs are good though......LP
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you and your family. I'd like you to know that the accident you saw was my neighbors parents... They wanted me to tell you they are praying for you as well and ask you to continue to pray for their family. We all love you here in Las Cruces!!!! Please keep us updated.

Wow, Jessica! Thanks so much for passing that along. Would you please tell the Rowes' fmaily that my my prayers are also with them. The interview with the reporter was very long and in-depth. However, I felt the excerpts chosen and published made me seem very uneducated and insensitive, neither of which is true. It was a very, very sad day in my life and continues to have a profound impact on me. Thanks again for commenting!!
