Good morning my friends,It has been a week since my surgery and I think I am beginning to feel a little better. The staples are placed just where a panty line is so I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I can wear. It has been hard because Joe is in Broward County on a job and has been there since Monday so I have had to take care of the pets myself. I still am laying in bed most of the day, but the dogs still have to go outside. It would be nice if they had a meeting and all decided to go at once but the odds of 5 dogs having to go to the bathroom at the same time are pretty slim.Little by little I am trying to catch up with your journals. I hope that if someone needs me they just write to me because I can only do a little at a time. I am still there for all of you.  Where would I be if I didnt have you guys as friends. Very few people can understand the chronic pain, the surgical pain and the emotional pain I have gone thru. My older daughter still thinks that this is something I can overcome if I want to. I just am tired of arguing with her.I will talk to you all soon. luv ya laurieg

I\'m happy that you\'re feeling a little better. Try to rest as much as possible and don\'t overdo it....I had to laugh about the pet meeting, I need a revolving door myself. My children were home, my daughter left yesterday, so I\'m behind on journals, too. Hope each day finds you stronger. xxoo

I swear one of my dogs hear\'s the click from me putting the foot up on my recliner, and it triggers his need to go out. LOL I get such a kick out of how everyone on DS worries so much when they can\'t keep up with all their friends. I\'m the same way but none of us are ever offended when someone can\'t keep up for awhile. I\'m sorry about your older daughter. I swear there is one in every family. I hope you keep feeling beter and that it gets easier to find stuff to wear. Hugs and more hugs, Donna

Your dogs are probably just as spoiled as mine! But in turn they know when you feel bad and stay right by your side. Take it easy, Cathy

hi sweetie! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Crazy dogs, mine are the same way and I get so mad at them. Seems like they act like that when I really am having a bad day. Glad Joe is coming home soon, so he can help you. Take care of yourself first, don\'t worry about us! love ya sandy

Glad your starting to feel better. That would be one heck of a place to have staples. You poor girl. I pray you continue to heal and feel better. Love ya...Julie
