Got home yesterday....

and doing great!! I was only on pain killers for the day of my surgery, and then it was on to Tylenol. I am in a little pain, but it is not too bad. I could not seem to get it through the doctor and nurses heads that I could not take anything with codine or anything related (I am allergic to it)....so I decided to stick with good old fashioned Tylenol. The only problem is that between the liquid stuff that I have to take three times a day to keep from getting gallstones and te liquid Tylenol, I feel STUFFED!! I mean uncomfortably so. Is anyone else feeling this way? Well, besides feeling stuffed all of the time, I feel pretty good. I have much more energy than I did yesterday. I suspect that tomorrow will be even better!! Not sure how much I have lost, but I am sure glad to be on the losing side!! Thanks so much for all of your prayers, I sure felt them. The Lord was holding my hand every step of the way!!! Take care my friends! Joy

Welcome home! I loved the hospital but it's good to be home (9 days post op). I felt stuffed until today. My stomach has been queesy today but I think it's from the zoloft which I started last night. I hadn't been on it for 5 months - but with a little post-op depression I decided to whip out the meds! It's great to be on the losing side, isn't it? It's hard though but it must be worth it.

congratulations, and also congratulations about making your own decision to take medications, only we know our only bodies...good job and keep us informed how you are doing..................Joanne Hilditch, chicopee mass
