I stand in front of a mirror in a small exam room around 3:00 pm, nude under a cotton robe. This place has to be fancy, I think to myself; Normally I was handed a stiff tissue paper smock. Even the floor here is carpeted, and not the cold linoleum of so many doctor's offices. It took three hours to get here because I got horridly lost trying to make the other surgeon's appointment, which needed to be canceled. I am a little road weary and feel ridiculously comforted by these small details.

I'm ready, nervous and excited at the same time!!

Did anyone know I had a hipbone??? If you did, why didn't you tell me???!!

I was lying there next to my friend the other day, just chatting and I had my arm laid along my side, when suddenly...I felt it...
MY HIP-FAT HAD ALREADY BEGUN TO DEFLATE!!

I jumped out of bed and ran, in tears, to my best friend. He, of course, was very concerned and inquired about my tears.

"I am NOT ready for this!!!"

Let me explain...

I was told no driving for a week.

BAH! I have been chauffered by my daughter this whole week. I love her, but I think I will be glad when I can drive myself again, and I know she'll be glad. LOL

This morning I actually felt good when I got up. The bloating seems to be going away, and there's very little pain... mostly around my port area.
