Hey guys! I’m not feeling up to much… but I just wanted to drop a quick note to let everyone know that I’m OK and the surgery was a success.

“This is how Mom feels… ugh!”
I have a couple pre-planned posts for this week and next to keep you entertained while I’m recovering. I assumed I would not even feel up to playing around on the computer for awhile. You can look forward to my Dad’s “no fail” salmon recipe, a Q & A on those cool new minimalist running shoes from Foot RX, and a Q & A on making a running or fitness comeback after injury or illness from an awesome local trainer with Carolina Gold Fitness. It’s good stuff, I promise!
As soon as I feel up to it I’ll fill you in a little more on how things went with the surgery and recovery process.
In the meantime we all will be sleeping…
(Insert another shameless photo of my adorable dogs since I'm not posting a post surgery pic of myself-haha!)

Does anyone see anything wrong with this? HA!
My dogs are nuts.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. It has lifted my spirits so much to know so many care about me. I love you all. This is truly the best place in the world.

Hi Julie - glad you felt up to posting a little bit. Ice of your hubby to post on Facebook and send us here to your blog. Praying for your speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing your smiling face back on WLOS real soon. You must be happy that the surgery was a success. Take it one day at a time and know there is always a rainbow after the rain.

Julie,
I have been watching you on WLOS ever since you started and I miss you on the air. I just wanted you to know that you will be amazed in a year how much better you feel after this surgery. How do I know? Well, many years ago (as a teenager back in the dark ages of the 1970's) I had the same problems (chronic sinus infections, allergies, asthma, pneumonia, etc...). I was devastated when I was told I was going to have to have surgery in the spring of my senior year in high school, and in those days there were no lasers or any of that easy stuff, sinus/deviated septum surgery was a huge undertaking that required 8-10 weeks of recovery (not to mention a HUGE packed nose). No prom, no bassoon solo contest -at least my nose was back to normal by graduation 🙂
However, I will let you know that before the surgery I had never ending sinus infections, a bout with pneumonia at least once (and often twice a year), and horrid allergies and asthma. I literally never knew what it was like to not have a stuffy nose and headache. Until after the surgery...
I am now 35 years post surgery. I NEVER get sinus infections, I haven't had pneumonia since then and because my body got healthier and I was able to start fighting off stuff, my allergies and asthma eventually (after about 20 more years) went AWAY. I hardly even get spring hay fever anymore.
So, as you are recovering, just know that a new day is coming. I look back on it all and think "Thank you Dr. Flintoff!" and I pray that you will look back on it all and feel the same way.
My prayers are with you as you recover ('cause I know it HURTS!)

Wishing you a speedy recovery and minimal discomfort from the surgery. I know you are glad it is over. Please heal quickly and come back to TV-13 weather. May the Lord continue to heal you. You are missed.

Salmon - how do you pronounce it? Sa - mon or Sal - mon.
What is the justification? Should we say Sa -lamandor and Sal - avia. I only want to under the English rules.

Hi Jullie, I'm glad you came thru the surgery so well and pray for a speedy recovery. We sure do miss you in the mornings (not that Jay doesn't do a great job also...lol). By the way: tell your adorable dogs I think they sleep-walk and went back to the wrong beds. Haha
Marie Gunter says

Annette cocke says
Julie, so happy to hear the surgery went so well and you are doing good!! Keep up the good work. Right now I'm in the kitchen fixing your black bean recipe. It looks good - however, I looked at the measuring spoon I was using - it seemed big. It said 1/2 tbsp instead of tsp. I was going to put 2 1/2 tsps of the seasonings in. Oh well. Thank heavens I caught it before I put in the cayenne. We like spicy but not hot. I'll let you know how it comes out. I've had 3 surgeries on my foot down at Duke so right now I can't walk. This recipe is good for me because even in my condition I can do it. Many thanks for sending it out. Can't wait for the salmon one and get well soon.
