Hey. Got to come home today. They wanted to keep me, but they were doing major construction and it was so loud that I would jerk when it got really loud. Came home with two drains. Dr. Sudan said there was a lot of scar tissue and that my organs were sucked up into the hernia. The surgery took about 4 hours from what I can figure out from my husband. Thanks for all the prayers.
