Hi,

I had my surgery the 12th. All went well, they repaired my hiatel hernia at the same time. I was on demoral for pain as morphine makes me sick. I was on the IV for 2 days with antibiodics and also the leg compression thingys. I came home on Tuesday. in a bit of pain, but the liqued demeral they gave me works great. Gas pains are kjust that, a real pain, but slowly they are getting better, I was able to lay on my tummy and have hubby massage my back and when I got up it seemed to release some of the pressure. I have more trouble sleeping at night as I hate to sleep on my back, so I have a body pillow and I was able to last night lay with it against my tummy/body and sleep better.

All in all this surgery wasn't so bad, I was scared. But my hysterectomy last year was WAYYYYY worse.

Good luck everyone

Hi, ladies. I only have enough energy in me to drop in and say "hi," I made it. I'm keeping ahead of the pain using the vicodin and it's working like a charm - just making me weak. I'll try to give a story tomorrow.
