I haven't been around in about a weekbecause I have been in the hospital. No, i'm not preggy!! Remember, I had colon cancer last year and had a hysterectomy. But I had to go to the er last wednesday night because I was having severe (caps) stomach pains. I was at the hospital and they didn't find anything wrong, then I started throwing up. So they did some tests and found out I have an obstructive bowel. Whech means that a section of my intestines is blocked and food cannot pass through. So I had a tube through my nose sucking everything out of my stomach for 5 days. And the whole time I couldn't eat anything (caps)!!!! But now it is a couple of days later and I am starting to keep some food down with out pain. But the doc said I will probably still have to be heretil tomorrow.

Well, I had been without internet for 6 days!!! That was torcher!! Lol but my fiance came by one night and I had my laptop because I am updating my resume, and he said click on this icon and this one, (he has a degree in computers!). And all the sudden he had my using the hospital's internet!!!!!! I am soooooo happy. I have been out of tuch with the world for what seems like forever!! So, I am trying to catch up on everything here, and from what I can tell, there has been another faker. Vanessa?? I don't remember her, what was her screenname? I can't wait to go home!!


Talk to you later,

Having the tube down my nose was aweful, but since I have had that taken out I feel so much better. But since I couldn'e eat while I had the tube, I lost 7 lbs. I just weighed and it said 99.5lbs. That's crazy!! Back in october, right before I was diagnosed with cancer, I weighed a healthy 125, now I am a sickly 99.5. Oh well, my chemotherapy is over in may, so then I will feel better!!
