Well, I'm all banded up and on the other side now! Hope all you other June 9thers are doing better, too! Had a rough 2nd day. Dumb me did not get enough fluids and got dehydrated. I ended up being nauseous and throwing up (nothing in me, though). I am doing fine since I was smart and held my hand tight to my stomach. Spent all yesterday drinking LOTS and LOTS so I had a good night and feel ok today. Only problem I'm having now is severe pain in my left shoulder (at the top?) and some "bathroom trips". I had a bit of buyer's remorse the first few days but each day feels so much better! Any suggestions for the pain? Tylenol is not relieving it and neither does the hard stuff the dr. gave me.

I'm SO glad I had my MIL come to help me this week. I feel so bad when my kids want to be picked up and I can't. But, they are getting good at cuddling. :teeth_smile:

How is everyone else doing?

Yeah, I had buyers remorse the day after also. Pretty depressed, but then read on the hospital discharge instructions that you should make sure to take your antidepressants! duhhhh......Now that I am feeling better physically, I am getting real excited and VERY motivated to start my new healthy journey!
