Update on Dianne de Las Casas' Recovery; Monday, December 15, 2008

Friends: It's been a week since my hysterectomy. I am happy to say the surgery was successful. I am home, in the recovery process. It hasn't been easy. The first few days were kind of foggy as I relied heavily on medication to get me through the pain. I get around okay but my body is out of whack - my systems don't function as they should. I am off the pain medication so I am much more coherent. I have good days and bad days, just as my doctor promised. I can't wait to get back to "normal." Wh… Continue

Hurricane Gustav Recovery - 9-7-08 - Dianne de Las Casas

Friends: Today was our first full day at home since we evacuated from Gustav on August 30. The first good news I heard was that sewerage services in Jefferson Parish Westbank were restored.
