My surgeon had a superman tee shirt underneath his scrubs this morning. That's the last thing I remember. How awesome is that?

So' date=' I am starving!! My nurse says its probably thirst, but I assured her you don't get to be my size without being familiar hunger(-;

I am so pleased with how I've been treated. They gave me some awesome lip moisturizer. I brought all kinds of stuff, but no need. They have these little sponges for me to suck on. Perfect little sips.

Did I mention that IM STARVING??? The gas pains are the only issues. Behind my chest and ribs. DID I MENTION MY STOMACH IS BBQing MY RIBS??

I hope all of you pre-opers have as easy as an experience day of surgery as I did. I might have already mentioned that I'm STARVING![/quote']

That's legit! I was wondering if eating the sponges would b a bad thing??? Guess ill find out tomorrow . I'm glad u r doing well thank u for sharing it has put me more at ease.

The nurses at my hospital were wonderful. Glad to hear you have wonderful nurses. They make your recovery easier.

I recant my compliments. Can you believe they wouldn't give me bacon and eggs in my IV?

So I am spitting up blood. I want to burp so bad, it hurts. But when I do, this rancid tasting phlegmish stuff comes up. Sorry if that's gross.

Congrats! My hospital my gave a bunch of 1 oz cups and I was to drink 1 every 15 min. That way you don't drink too much. Now that I'm home I can drink one every 10 min. Drinking a Protein drink right now. Woke up at 5 and can't go back to sleep. I can't have more pain meds till 8 but I'm doing ok without it right now. So happy for you!
