I'm home!!!!!

Got home a couple of hours ago. I did not anticipate the magnitude of the pain. When I feel a little better I will write more. I had terrific support form Terri and Courntey. And Kathy and Patti it was so good seeing you. Now I know why this support group is the best... Thanx to each and everyone one of you who I saw and who posted. It really did make my day : ) Linnie

Hi Linnie I am glad we bumped you in the hall . I am veyr proud you went for a walk the day after surgey. Now it will be my turn to go through this. I have butterflies in my stomach and pray I will be okay after surgey. Take rest and get better on each day. We are waiting to hear more from you on this board. Hugs Kathy K is your surgey was 1245 pm ? Mine will be at 1245 pm and I will go to ICU after surgery because of my sleep apnea.

Hi Kathy. My surgery was at 1:15. I was on the floor by 5. I did walk 3x the first nite but I was so dizzy i didn't walk far. I will talk to you before your surgery. My greatest item to bring was.....my back scratcher. It doubled as a reacher. And a tshirt to wear under the binder. Linnie

welcome home and i hope you feel better soon .i,m gladto hear everything went good for you ...tom

Linnie! Welcome Home! I was thinking about you today. How did the protein drinks go down? I am sorry you are feeling so much pain. It will get better every day. So, are you glad to be rid of the roomate from hell? Linnie had a 89 yr old woman in her room that kept asking for smirnoff. Hope all goes well on your first days home Linnie Terri
