I just got the word, shes fine, she is in recovery. Doc wants her to walk 3 times tonight. Phewwwwww, I have been a wreck all day. So everybody, shes ok. She will be in her room in a few hours. Thank God thats over!!

Great to hear Lauren, I will send her my best. Kim C

She must be doing great if he wants her on her feet tonight! Thanks for the update! Kathy F.

Standard Protocal now of days. Up and move to prevent blood clots from being a possible problem. Peter

I did two laps around the nurses' station about fifteen minutes after I got out of the Recovery Room. I credit my walking, early and often, with my reduced pain, reduced gas and general feeling of well-being. That, and the sip-sip-sip and sleep sleep sleep! Glad to hear that Kathy is up and about-it's the best thing for her! Ann

I was up and walking a couple hours after getting into my room also. It was really hard because I spent that 1st 6 hours in the recovery room with NO pain meds. But I knew I had to do it and my husband helped motivate me to get up. I think I did 2 laps. I agree with you Ann, I was off all pain meds in a week and back into my routine in 2 and 1/2 weeks. keep on walkin! Terri

She is so lucky that they will have her up and walking tonight. I had to BEG just to get up to a chair, and it was the next morning before they got one for me. Once my husband finally came, then we ask if I could please go for a walk! Boy did I feel better the more I walked!!!

OK everybody slide to the side make room for Kathy K on the losing side! Good luck & god Bless Kathy!!!!

THANKS FOR THE INFO I HOPE SHE IS DOING FINE .BUT THE DOC WANTS HER TO WALK AROND THATS APLUS KEEP US POSTED .

Breathing a sigh of relief here..and moving over to make some room for our dear friend Kathy! So glad its over for her...let the weight loss begin! Joanie
