Hi everyone!

I got back from my plication surgery yesterday. I am a little sore and have a little bit of discomfort but overall I am fine! I redid my bandages this morning and put on the wound care. I am also finishing out my prescription of antibiotics. Honestly the experience was pretty much what I expected. Everyone was very nice to me and people were constantly cleaning. Everyone wore gloves and used anti-bacterial soap when being treated, so I had no worries on germs, etc. The quarters were cramped and there were two patients in each recovery room. I did pay to get a private room at the hotel the next two days and was glad I did. It was only $56.00 a night with a king-size bed! The hospital/clinic has a full time nurse in one of the rooms at the hotel. We would then get shuttled back and forth to get our IV nourishment/medicine, drain tubes taken out, x-ray for leakage, etc.. Everything went well. I even went shopping with a group on Revolucion for gifts for my family! It was safe during the day but you don't go out at night or if you do, stay in a group!

Any questions anyone has please feel free to ask! I am excited to be continuing my journey to a happier and healthier me! Woooooooohoooooo!
