Hello all- my first post!

This is my first post. I'm not very familiar with message boards and just found out this one exists. How cool! I had surgery 6/13 and just went in today and had my JP drain removed from my abdomen. What a relief! I've had a few complications. One of my abdominal arteries got knicked during surgery and I needed 5 units of blood in the hospital and then one my incisions got infected and split open. It was a little scary but what a relief I was in agony until it started draining. Today is the first day I 've had a little more energy and I got on my elliptical trainer and did 30 minutes. I'll probably regret it tomorrow. Well hi to all I hope to hear from some of you everyone seems very nice. Hanan
