Back from Hospital - Day 2

Well back safe and sound.  Surgery went well.  Very dry mouth with thick saliva while in hospital.  The pain was handled somewhat by the pump they give you...however they found out during the first night that for some reason morphine doesn't work on me and had to switch to another drug.  All tests went well!  Arrived home Thursday by 12 pm - that's when the real pain started.  For those who haven't had surgery, enjoy the pain pump!  Although I had liquid loratab for home it took hours to get the pain as managed as it was in hospital.  It isn't severe but does feel like someone has taken a baseball bat to your midsection and the gas the fill you up with causes sharp pains in chest and abdomen.  Luckily my bowls woke up within a few hours of being home which helps tremendously with the pressure you feel.  Good luck to everyone about to take the journey and to those brothers / sisters who've just taken the journey with me.
