Well, I am finally home. Got home around 1. Now that I am more coherent I thought I would give a little info on my journey yesterday.
Got to the hospital at 7. Took less than five minutes to make it through registration but a few hours to make it through the rest, vitals, iv and so on.
They finally took me to the holding pen. Yup I made jokes to them about that. I had some new people I think they where nervous but o told them I did not mind as long as my surgeons where not new.
I got the whole practice which was cool. Both surgeons and the Arno on staff where there for the surgery. I told the sleepy guy that I get nausea with the meds so he said he would load up the nausea stuff.
Didn't work. At least I didn't get sick.
Surgery went well six incisions, everyone was right the port site is the sorest and the gas is the worst. My iv slipped out so they had to call someone to fix it. I had a total of seven stabs from the beginning to the end for iv's I was wrong with the earlier count. I am a really hard stick.
Thank you to everyone I brought jammies and that made me feel good. Brought my own pillow to just incase.
They kept my meds up pushed lots of water and had me walk a lot. I would get nauseous after the meds and walking we figured it out to be the meds so change in rx and that is better.
Now that I am home just relaxing, doing the meds, walking, drinking and the lung stuff. Can't wait for the gas to be gone I think that is my next goal.
Take care all.

Wow, thanks for all the comments on my question yesterday.
I went from feeling great to feeling like crude. My face, shoulders and chest where bright red, I had no fever and my blood presure was fine. I finally called the doc and he said it is probably an allergic reaction.
I had the hubby get some benadryl and it knocked me out. Feeling a lot better today still a little red but much better.
I think I prepared myself for everything, but the immediate after surgery time. Not sure how you all do it by going back to work so fast. Glad I took more time off.
Ok more later.
