I thought I had posted here before, but now I can't find it. Anyway, today is my surgery day! My surgery isn't until this afternoon (3:30), so I'm trying to stay busy now! I updated my blog with starting photos & measurements yesterday (my blog is in my signature).

I hope everyone has a good week! I'll try to post tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel. :-)

Best of luck with your surgery. My revision is May 22nd and I'm getting excited/nervous.

I hope you have a quick recovery.

Good luck, Michelle!! I'll keep you in my thoughts today for an easy surgery and uneventful recovery! Looking forward to seeing you on the loser's bench!!

Good job getting you before photos and measurements done! You will definitely love getting to refer back to that.

Waiting for an afternoon surgery is tough! I hope you can keep yourself distracted so you don't just wear a hole in the floor pacing around. LOL!

You are going to do great! Congratulations on your big day!

I got out of recovery and into my own room about 5 PM. I'm grateful for the pain medicine, but don't think it'll be all that bad by the time I'm discharged tomorrow. I've been up to walk around the hallway once & am feeling pretty good. The only issue is that I can't go pee yet!! I'm trying to make myself stay up a little now & then I'm going to take another walk to see if my bladder will want to wake up after that!!!

couldn't end up peeing last night, so they put the catheter back in, but they're going to take it out now & get me of the pain pump. Had my leak test done & there are no leaks!! Now I have ice chips & Water, but they're going to give me broth & Jello later to see how I tolerate it. I should be going home later this evening. Overall, I'm feeling great!
