Starting my journey.

The nursing staff will be taking good care of you, the naps do help things, you will be up at 1AM like it or not for the nursing staff shift change, and at 4AM you get jabbed for drinks for the vampire they have in the basement. Welcome to the other side there Sis.

[Guest Melissa~]

Then there will be cheese cake.

for the portal fans out there.

[Guest Gregg Jameson]

Hi Melissa,

Glad you are doing well!

Thanks for sharing with us -- your experiences, your amazing self -- and your cheesecake!

In Celebration,

Brad

Congrats Melissa, follow the doctors orders, darn i didn't get cheesecake, but i had a different surgeon.

Paula

[Guest LizMarie]

Cheesecake! Well you certainly are doing better then!

Congratulations on your surgery, and may your recovery be swift and without complications!

While I don't think that's the best or even an important part of choosing a surgeon, if all things were equal, and one couldn't decide, this was my menu at Bower's hospital for 4 days/3 nights.

[VickySGV]

Oh the precious memories Kim. I have my menu here with the rest of my paperwork too. It was a different way of doing the food for sure. Did you ask them to put a candle in it Melissa? Happy Birthday.

[Guest Carla_Davis]

Congratulations Melissa,

I also wish you a speedy recovery.

Hugs,

Carla

[Guest Melissa~]

Gotta love that menu! Anyway I'm resting in my hotel awaiting followup visits and more healing. Things are fairly peachy.

[Guest NatashaJade]

Congratulations, Melissa!

And the cake is a lie (a yummy yummy lie)

Don't worry about the very very large bruise down there. It does fade after a year or so

Missy uncorked! At least I'm officially a free woman. I am medicaly released and recovering nicely. I fly back to my area on Saturday after spending a few more safety and recovery days here to make travel easier.

[VickySGV]

According to her time stamp here, she was about at D#3. The life begins. Behave yourself Vicky!!!!

[gennee]

Congratulations, Melissa. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

[Guest Melissa~]

Oh dear: I have experienced my first cough-ejection. Lol. I'm told when there is a sneeze-ejection, I might damage something my my projectile. Who knows how long this journey goes. I'm certain I will create a last post on this thread sometime. Still I am recovering speedily, I was quite active today with well over a mile of slow walking and hours of standing. I will get a gynocologist inspection tomorrow, externally I'm happy with appearance, internally everything seems fine too. I might as well with my departure immenent.

[Guest]

Thanx for the update Melissa.

Sounds like you're well on the mends.

Next stop on the Womanhood Express? Who knows.<giggle>

Huggs,

Joann

[Guest LizMarie]

It sounds like everything is proceeding very well for you, Melissa! That's wonderful to hear!

[Guest Brenda Hailey]

Glad to hear all is/has gone well for you.

Working so hard to realize this dream I imagine there is a huge sense of relief now that your goal has been achieved, and will now leave you more time to pursue other aspects of your life with a calm and less urgency.

Congratulations on having what it takes to be you.

Don't ask how I found out, but she was in good enough shape to ride a San Francisco Cable Car's outside step up one hill on Thursday and was thinking about taking a boat trip around Alcatraz Island, but chickened out because to get on the boat you had to climb and actual ladder down to the boat.

Melissa is having way too much fun in Minnesnowta now that everything is in the rear view mirror. She did show what I get to look forward to in a couple of months. Small, medium, large, and OMG now have a whole new meaning to me these days.

Looking forward to having back missouri, my sister. Talk to you later on Skype Mel. KJ
