The Other side

This blog entry is entitle "The other Side" because Ferlando called my last surgery this way.

I had surgery on Feb. 8 and it went well. Mom and Chris escorted me to the hospital. They stayed with me until I was alert to speak sensibly after surgery. I went into Surgery around 5:37 Pm and I think I was out by 9PM. Mom and Chris left around 11 PM. I actually felt pretty good when I woke up. I did get snowed in at the hospital. Trina had to have her friend Micheal pick me up from the Hospital. He took me to her at Skokie Hospital where she now works. Trina and I went shopping for fresh undies and night clothes. We got something to eat and spent the night at the doubletree hotel, which PeeWee arranged and paid for us. It was nice just being with my sister, we had fun except I fell asleep on her! Oh well one day out of surgery what can you expect. I saw the docter the next day before going home and he indicated that I was doing well. Breyen picked me up from the Dr's office and we went back to Homewood and had lunch with Chris and Alex. I am amazed at how good I've been feeling after surgery but grateful. Perhaps Ferlando is right, maybe this is 'The Other Side" I certainly hope so.

The issue now is finding the right hormone to take for the next five years. I've tried two so far and the last one made me very sick. I do take a natural supplement that is supposed to to the same thing but there is no scienctid study to back up the claim. I'm inclined to just take the natural supplement and pray because the other meds have so many side effects and cause so much pain that the quality of life is greatly diminished. I'm praying about it; for now I'm enjoying "The Other Side".
