I now have great excuse to eat gelato any time I wanted,Von's or pavilion depending on your states or cities sale this gelato called talenti the best gelato,well after the real Italian gelato at course,is kind of pricy,one pint is about five dollars but im sick so no excuse for me to not have it:p so spoil,:D well hope to report you guys later how the day went by,and give you some good news,thanks again:)

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. I just had surgery two weeks ago and while things went well, getting my pain under control immediately after surgery and since has been a challenge. Hopefully everything with your breathing will straighten out and get better as your pain gets better and you recover and you're body has a chance to get things straightened out. :hug:

Be good to yourself. And remember, Talenti makes chocolate covered gelato pops now which are super portable and great for eating in bed! There is a reason I'm always dirt poor, and it might be Talenti's fault.

Thanks for the tip and advice
 

I'm sorry you also had surgery,dawn, lately can only talk about surgeries :confused: weird,but thanks I'm doing much better then yesterday I now later pain will kick harder because anesthesia will pass my bloodstream completely,so my only hope and plan is get ready for the fight,is a challenge as you said but I don't want end it up with an awful flare up, no way,and talenti gelato pops, interesting had not seen it yet,at least here in my area I will call some stores and see who carries them you are right :sad-dollar: I can't afford to buy to many,have to hid then from other people :icon_twisted: but sorry can't share the gelato,too pricy,I will make my husband look for then,thanks and by the way is a pleasure meting you Adalaide,hope we can get in contact often and hope your recovery totally soon and smooth,best wishes for you as well, :grouphug: and blessings from your new friend Jesika aka eevo,thanks :)

Hi Eev, I hope you feel better today than yesterday. I'm sure you will. It takes a few weeks but you'll be okay. And I think the gelato sounds like a great idea! I wish I thought of that! You enjoy the gelato. You deserve it. You've been through alot. Thank you for the kind words. It brightened my day. I'm glad I could help. You and everyone else here help me too by always being so supportive, so it's the least I could do. I'm always here if you have any questions or just need to talk. I will be checking to see if you are okay again tonight. So if you're up and need a friend, I'll be here. Now get some rest and have some of that delicious sounding gelato! With loving prayers, Renee.

Jesika - glad you made it through surgery ok and that you are better today than yesterday. Just remember to stay ahead of the surgical pain with meds to help you through. Also remember that this surgical pain is only temporary. I had my SCS's removed in January and it was rough, but temporary. My healing process was delayed a bit with the bad allergic reaction I had, but it is gone and I am healed completely from it!!

Wishing you the best!
