A big weight lifted.

After over 5 hours of surgery on Monday, I’m happy to report that untitled is doing very well post-bariatric surgery. She can slowly sip down a shot-size cup of water/milk/broth every fifteen minutes. This is considered to be a good amount at this point. The nurses and doctors are pleased with her progress, so she should be coming home on Wednesday.

Before I left tonight we went on a walk around the hospital floor. I thought we’d do one lap. After untitled announced that we’d be doing three, I said “are ya sure?” Her reply was a simple, “I know you can do it.” Her stomach may be the size of a golf ball, but thankfully her sarcasm is still larger than life.

I’ve passed on all of your kind words and thoughts to untitled. It means the world to her that you care.

    You know, I do care. I don’t know her name, her location, or specifics and I think that makes me love untitled more. Because without a name, I identify with her more. Her struggles, her fears, her crisis, her laughing at others, I can do that too, because it isn’t someone I “know” so I know I can let loose. If that makes sense.

    I’m pulling for untitled. Because she isn’t doing this to be a run way model. But if she changes her mind and wants to be, I will support that too. You go girlfriend.
