Lol, they wouldn't let us go down stairs either! I had to stay on my teeny tiny little floor. I'm feeling SO MUCH BETTER today without any nausea or internal pain.. only some slight discomfort from the incisions. Dr Louisiana took out my drain today and that helped a lot. I'm at the Marriott now and I'm resting comfortably. no pain except gas! (not gas from surgery but the actual gas in my stomach and intestine.. I am LOVING the gas-x strips)

I'm sooooo happy we're both on the other side of this now and we BOTH made our preop goals. let me just take a moment to say "WE ROCK"

whoo-hoo! It's a done deal. I had some pain last night, from the gas, in my shoulders and in my back, but I walked until I just couldn't anymore. After that, a nurse gave me a hot towel for my back. I used my heating pad for my stomach. I totally recommend bringing a heating pad. Immense help. Also, some things I didn't see on anybodys list of things to bring: a cup, for after the surgery when you come back to the hotel (I don't trust myself drinking from my Gatorade bottle...worried I might have the urger to gulp rather than sip) and a medicine dispenser. In my bag of medicines, I found a liquid, kinda like Milk of Mag, but it said to take 2tsp. I just approximated.

I leave to go home tomorrow. Everyone and everything have been so wonderful. Money well spent!

Thanx to all of those who thought or prayed for me while I was in Tijuana. Just made it home late last night. It was good to see my kids this morning but I had missed my husband the most. While I was in good hands in Mexico I felt peace in the arms of the man who loves me when he met me at the airport last night.

I know what you mean. I'm leaving my husband behind to care for our little ones, and I am not sure how I'm going to do this without him. We've been joined at the his since 14/15 years old. I'm going to try to be a big girl though
