Hi guys,

Everything went perfectly. I am home and now a proud bandee!

I am too slow a typer to give a blow by blow account and it would be boring anyway. The only thing that I do want to mention is how important walking and doing the breathing exercises were for me. I swear my lungs felt like they had been squinched when I woke up. And walking and deep breathing made me feel way better.

I slept most of the day of surgery and then got up yesterday, had a shower walked laps around the floor- it was kinda fun.

Also important was to remember to take small sips frequently of whatever I was drinking. Interesting is that I have yet to feel hungry.

The sorest part is the site where dr placed my port. My kiddos were very interested in mom's tummy with 5 little square tapes on it.

Now I need to go to GNC to buy Protein shakes.

Congratulations!!

I am happy everything went well for you!!

Yeah, the port site was the most painful for me too!

When sleeping, I used pillows under my belly to help support it and avoid that pulling sensation!

Take care and don't forget to rest

Congratulations!! I'm so glad it went smoothly--you deserve it.

Take it easy with the kiddies! I know I've said this before but it's really important to lay low during the first week or so and I know how hard that is to do with inquisitive little children around. :rolleyes: But it's important to heal well, so tell them to back off and stop climbing on Mommy's tummy!! :cool:
