Well, just got home from surgery on Monday.  I can't believe it actually happened.  All went well.  The only thing that bothered me was the anesthsia and the hard narcotics.  Once that was out of my system, I iwas feeling FAB!!  I stopped taking the dophran (??) very early Tuesday morning.   I am currently on Tylenol with codein and that seems to be doing the trick.  I even did a few things around the house today!!  On the loser's bench and recovering nicely.  I can't believe that only a few sips of broth do the trick. I would have never guessed after that week long liquid diet!!! Anyway, just reporting in.

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for their good wishes!!!!  I wouldn't have done so well without the support of my friends here at OH!!!!    (also posted on lightweights board).

Luv,
Toni

Yes, I was able to have lap rny.  they thought I would need open since I had a tummy tuck but when I woke up, they were able to do it lap!!!  So that was a nice surpirse.  I hope your doing well.  I read that you had pnemonia while in the hospital, which made me very aware to do my spirometer.  I hope you are doing well!!!

Thanks for everyone's well wishes!!
