I'm Home

Had my surgery Monday Morning early.....woke up at about 10:30 am feeling like a car ran over me Lot's of gas and pressure so starting at about 8 pm Monday night I walked and walked the floors whenever I could. Had a tough time getting comfortable in the bed since I'm 6'4" my back was killing me. ( I normally sleep on my side). With the help of the drugs I was able to get about 3 hrs sleep at a time. Tuesday morning it was down to radiology to check me for leaks. So the first thing I get to drink in 2 days was this foul iodine liquid tasting crap. Went back to the room and spent the day walking and resting.....got some lunch about noon....chicken broth which I tossed,jello,crystal light,tea and water. Had about 12 oz all total. Finally I got discharged about 8 pm and rode home....went to bed at 11 and slept on my side for 8 wonderful hours . So I'm up now having some liquids and reporting in Still have some bloating and pressure but thats about it, except for this silly looking ball on a tube thats dangling from my stomach following me all over the place. Later gang ...Think I'll paint the house today

Hi Ken...wtg on your surgery glad you did so well and feeling pretty good...may this be the best journey of your life..god bless!! April

Hi Ken glad to hear you are doing so well. I do not know why but when I read where you were going to paint the house, reminded me of an old joke about a man and a woman and twenty dollars and painting a house. Well I guess you really had to be there! Red

go on! the suspence is killing me here luv Rosie

Ok, just for you Rosie (the clean version) A man was sitting at a bar and this woman walks in. She was dressed rather -- well lets just say she was not wearing a church dress (keeping it clean) so anyway -- she says to the man "hey sugar , I will do anything you want for twenty dollars, anything-- you just name it. " Well the man looks at her -- looks at how she is dressed-- looks at the bartender -who gives him a little wink -- and he says to the woman -- "you will do anything I want for twenty dollars" and she says "oh yeah-- anything" He thinks for a minute and says ok be at this address tomorrow at 8:00am sharp. She looks at him sort of weird and says "in the morning?" and he says "yes, in the morning, you can't paint my house at night"

OH! thats funny thanks for keeping it clean thanks for the laugh I needed that tonight. xoxoxo Rosie

I am glad you enjoyed it Rosie. I hope you have a good night and wondeful day tomorrow.
