Home from surgery
Hello everyone.....my surgery was on Thursday and I came home yesterday. Everything went great!!! The worst part was the anxiety once I arrived at the hospital. Everyone there was extremely wonderful. I arrived at 8:00 am and they wheeled me back to surgery holding at 9:45 so I thought it went pretty fast. I remember them moving me to the surgery table and then waking up in recovery. They removed my gall bladder, which I am thankful for since it had several gallstones. I wasn't in very much pain, but I had a little nausea when I first woke up, but the meds helped with that. Once I got to my room, I started walking. I was alert for most of the evening and was surprised I wasn't "out of it" more. I stayed for one night in the hospital because I live 3 hours away. I slept really good on my first night home and I got up this morning and went for a walk around the block. So far, I have to say the surgery wasn't bad at all. I am sore in the port area, but everything else seems to be good. When I am sitting, I can't even tell I had surgery.
Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for me. I am forever grateful.

Congrats on your surgery!!!!! I like you had little pain and was up cleaning my yard three days later. Hope your recovery keeps going smooth.
