I'm back from my surgery!
Hello everyone,
I jsut wanted let you all know that I'm finally home, I was dicharged tonight at 6:15 pm.
Dr. Kelly said everything went fine but he did find a hiatal hernia that he had to fix while hewas in there. So it's possible I'm a little more tender that I would have been if it had not been there.
The staff at UMASS was great, all so understnding and caring. I was crying this morning over the pain I was in due to dry heaving. My nurse was so kind to me.
My biggest problems were the neasua and dry heaving... to painful.
The drain did not hurt much coming out, just just felt strange and grosed me out.
NowI I'm at home sipping, sipping an sipping. Tomorrow I need to both the sippng and walking and walking.
I will post more when I'n not so drowsey. Thanks for everyone's support!
