Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers during my surgery! I'm now officially 11 days post-surgery, and am doing well! Surgery went well overall, although I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia which caused me to stay overnight in the hospital. My four incision sites are healing well, and my pain level is almost non-existant. After my reaction to the anesthesia, I was very leery of taking my prescription pain medication, so I stuck to 400mg of ibuprofen, and did just fine. My only gripe is that my energy level is still lower than normal, which is a real drag! I've become one of those old grannies that naps in the afternoons, or I'll just fall asleep while watching TV lol The important thing is that I can tell I'm getting a little better, day by day!
My goal is to follow my doctor's orders to the tee to ensure a proper recovery, then get back on track with my workouts. My ultimate goal is to start training for the 2011 Chicago Rock n Roll Half-Marathon as soon as I can - I'm going to PR that bugger if it's the last thing I do! :)
Hope everyone is doing well - let me know what you've been up to!

I'm so glad you're recovering well! Be patient with your body - it knows better than your brain how quickly you should get back into things. Be well!
Girl, you are a rockstar! Battle that pain! hehehe I am so proud of you and cant wait for the upciming blogs you will be posting, and things you will be sharing along the way. How are you FEELING? Emotionally? I miss you while you are away!
Me? I have been just living life blindly, trying to hand it all over to God so He will lead me again. Slow, steady process, and I am a bad daughter at times. THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION IN HIM THOUGH!!!!
I love you. xoxox Ali
