YAY! I'm not too tight anymore (I don't think). I went in to see the doctor, assuming it would take FOREVER. Of course, they couldn't get me an appointment until 3:40 PM. So, I brought my big book prepared to wait. I was in and out by 3:45! Amazing. Maya, my NP, basically listened to what was happening and was like "yup... too tight. But probably not as tight as you really think... so I'm not going to take it all out." That threw me for a bit of a loop... wasn't sure what to expect. Long story short, she only took out .25 cc's (I had .50 cc's last week), so I am still up from before by a quarter. So far, so good! It has been SO MUCH BETTER. I find it hard to wrap my head around that such a small amount could make such a big difference. I'll know better tomorrow once I start food again. We'll see! But just pressure alone in my stomach/chest is so much better. YAY! And now I have a few more days to "test" it out before we head south.
A side note: Here are a few more pictures from the weekend... Top is my Dad, and my Grandmother (Lucia's Great-Grandmother)... they came down last night on their way south. Pictures below are Lucia's Grandmother (Dennis's Mom) Gayle, and her cousin Gage at the birthday party, and next to that is Aunt Gina (my sister-in-law) with Lucia. THANK YOU TO BOTH OF THEM for being SUCH great helpers with the party!
