I am home...

I am home. The surgery went well. Day 1 I was in LaLa land most of the time. I went right to the 6th floor. And yes I has a roomie. Boy that was interesting. Day 2 I had the leak test IIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW I know know what it is like to drink stomache BILE. It actually made the Baruim taste good. But I only had to drink a few sips. Over all it was not the worst exprience ever. The nurses were wonderful. Day 2 I started to think I must have been crazy to do this and how will I ever manage at home. Day 3 and things are better. I had my 1st ensure around noon. Boy was that good!!! Dr.Bell is such a sweetie!! I know things will get better right now I feel like crap. YEAY for sugar free JELLO. Chryssie
