Happy New Birthday To Me...
Happy New Birthday on April Fool's Daaaaayyyyyy...
Happy New Birthday To Meeeeeeeeeee!
And as long as I don't get there on April 1st and they say...April Fool's....sorry...go home. I don't care at all that it's on that day!
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO! I am taking my seat on the losers bench! Yeeaaaahhhhhhhh.

Congratulations!!!   You'll be great!  I had my surgery on Monday, and was doing so well that I came home on Wednesday!  I told you all about it, but have to admit that I left out a couple of things that you should know.  One is that I've been having some issues with drainage around my JP drain incision site, so you should have LOTS and LOTS of gauze pads and 3 x 3s and even a box of regular kotex (no sticky strip) on hand to absorb any leakage from around the tube.... and the other is that I had a couple of embarrassing incidents with diahhrea - couldn't make it to the bathroom in time, and had to have someone help me clean up (both me and the floor), which is always so "indelicate"....

Also, I think I about half-way sprained my foot the other day walking in crocs without any support, so it hurts to walk, and you're supposed to walk 6 times per day.... lucky for me I've got an exercise bicycle downstairs.  And lucky for me, it doesn't seem to bother the arthritis or stenosis in my back, or the sciatica down my leg!  I've been riding it for my "walks"....

Anyways, HooRay for YOU!!  I'll be right there cheering you on!!!
