I'm back! I got home a couple of hours ago and promptly took a nap. According to my surgeon, the surgery was "picture perfect." Let me tell you though, the gas pain in my chest was scary awful, I felt like I couldn't breathe. They think is was because I was in the post anesthesia area for a while (due to my room not being ready). That meant I was on my gurney, flat, for about 3.4 hours. The gas just sat on my chest I guess. Anyway, when I got to my room, the nurses had me up walking and that helped a bit. Still had to take lots of pain med by injection right up until this morning. What they say is true...walking, walking, walking helps! Glad to hear your surgeries went well and you are doing ok. Did either of you have this gas pain in the chest, too?
