Here we go....

Surgery was Thursday August 6.....everything went great! The MD told my hubs to plan for an hour and a half, I was out in 45 minutes, then on to recovery! I remember nothing till I was finally in my room. And I don't remember much of that....????Good Drugs!!! I used my pain pump religiously and I slept a lot, which was exactly what I needed.

They took the pain pump away around 330 on Friday???????????? but it was all good, they started me on my oral pain meds and Pepcid, I was so scared of taking the meds, so worried something would get stuck, but it wasn't to bad. The pain meds are nasty so I haven't been taking them to much!

Home from the hospital on Saturday around 1....before that my electrolytes were out of whack and they had to keep changing my IV Fluids.

So I am home and feeling pretty good, a little gas pain in my left shoulder and some pain on my right side where my drain and my bigger incision is located. I slept in my bed all night and I am trying to focus on getting enough Water in! It took me about 12 hours to get in 8 ounces of a Protein shake but I know that will get easier.

Just wanted to document my story, the beginning of my new journey and my new life!!
