Wow hay thanks yea they told us we would be staying all nite and that the pain ball is slow to empty so it took 2/3 days to do it ..well better them taking it out then me huh .thanks again

Did any of you have the numbing ball ,to numb the belly instead of lots of pain meds ?? I guess i can have that and take les meds and it takes 2/3 days to empty and then you pull it out yourself very easy like when its done at home,,,sounds good to me i'd rather have the ball and less knock out drugs...its great to hear you all are doing so good ive needed to hear this the past day or so going through all the what the _ am i doing here but i'll make it .you people give me great hope and i love to read your storys ..thanks and keep us all imformed you banders :eek: we need it .
