What a beautiful couple you are. And what a nice view for recovery. I hope the weather is nice, and you can get outside for walks.

Sitting by the pool sounds like a wonderful idea. And I agree, wear those stretch marks with pride.

I'm so glad to hear you have turned the corner, and are mobile again. One of the things I am worried about for myself, is not being able to control the pain after surgery. But it won't keep me from having surgery. I have heard it can take a while for the stomach to go back down. That thought sucks though, doesn't it. Oh well.

I look forward to reading you surgery thread, and following your progress.
Congratulations again, on getting to the other side.
