I'm back.....
First off I want to thank EVERYONE who has sent me well wishes and support. Debbie C, you have been an excellent angel! It makes a difference when you have the kind of support offered here. The surgery went well and I was home the next day. Initially, the worst thing was only getting a medicine cup of ice chips every 2 hours. I was on clear liquids for 5 days and have just started full liquids whi*****lude thin grits, very soft scrambled eggs, smooth sugar free yogurt as well as continuing the water intake. Right now, the biggest discomfort is still the gas which comes and goes and not being able to sleep on my side. I have been doing the recliner thing at night. I know it will all get better as time goes by....Thanks again for all your support. Oh Yea, my preop picture is up.
