I just wanted to let everyone know I was home and doing great, i was actually released yesterday but didn't log on.  My surgery was picture perfect and i had.........unbelievably, no pain and never any gas.   I was groggy and sore, but they had me up and walking from the first afternoon and I knew the more I walked the better so just did it, and did it ALOT, and NEVER got any gas, period.  I also had a wonderful team of nurses, and just had such a nice exerience, they put me in a private VIP room just because, and I had lots of quiet when I needed it and then just the nicest people around me. 

The SECOND day was more of a painful day, since the anesthestia had pretty much worn off and it was more sore,but again, kept up the walking.  The ONE thing I had was nausea, which struck INSTANTLY.  whoa milly.........out of the blue and call the nurse, then a shot in the iv and I was fine. 

I came home ON TIME, and with little pain.  I consider myself so lucky to have had so little problems except hospital insomnia, which is normal.  I was ready for much more pain and much more ............discomfort and gas.  The tiny hiccups were a shock too, but they don't last long but manage to get my attention. 

Anyway, thanks for all the prayers and thoughts.  I am happy to be able to tell everyone it went so well.

Glad to hear your home safe and sound Elisa!  YOur experiece was pretty much a mirror of mines, except no puking (TG).  The anth. had put an extra patch on my neck which was what I'm sure my saving grace was!  Cheers, Sandi
