Home Sweet Home!!

Hello everyone!! I'm finally home. It seems like it has been so long since I have been in my own comfy bed. I had the surgery Friday morning at St. Vincent's. It was supposed to be at 7:30 but Dr. Wellborn was running late and did not begin until around 8:10. Thats ok though, I was already knocked out. I really don't remember much about the surgery. I do remember waking up in recovery and being in horrible pain. (heads up to those of you who are waiting) Don't worry though, as soon as you tell them you get pain meds and then you feel so much better. Apparently, I escaped the terrible drama of gas pains. Knock on wood, but I have not had any gas so far. I am sore in my stomach. Kind of feels like someone hit me in the stomach with a baseball bat but it is getting better by the hour. I still don't want anything to eat but I have sipped water and apple juice. My mom finally forced me to eat a little chicken broth because I was shaking so bad. It was surprisingly good and I had had no problems getting anything down so far.   Thank you to all of you *****sponded to my post and have kept me in your prayers. Thats exactly what I needed. I really appreciate all the support that you all have shown me throughtout this suprisingly short process. ( I know it drags for some people...) If there is anyone on the boards who have any questions for me or want to know more about the surgery, please feel free to post a message or send me a private message. I will answer you as soon as possible.  Thanks again!! You guys are woderful friends and supporters!!   Karen

Glad you're home and on the losers bench!!! See, it wasn't that bad, now was it?? Have you taken meds since you came home? Try some smoothie if you can, its good protein and sweet. Dannon lit and fit yogurt smoothies worked for me and it took me two days to finish one! LOL Lemme know if you need anything. Susan
