I'm home from the hospital

Welcome to the bench, Jen!!!

I'm sorry you're in so much pain, but like Aaron said, soon, it'll all be just a memory.

Just be as compliant as you can and take care of yourself.  Rest is as important as walking and sipping!!!

Hugs,

Tia

Thanks Tia!
I am doing much better today and I was just enjoying my cream of chicken soup with unjury protein chicken soup powder in it.  Sip sip sip.  mmm mmm good.  The pain seems to have subsided now that one of the drains is out. Thursday when I get the other drain out I should feel even better!  HUGS!

Jen:
Glad you're home.  My recovery pain was also worse than I anticipated, but then, everyone is different.  Now that you're home, recovery should go quickly.  I found that with each day, I got a little later.

Thanks Lisa.  I guess you and I are folks who have a low pain tolerance.  You are right, everyone is different and I wish the staff at the hospital were more aware of that when deciding how much pain meds I needed.  But now that is not an issue.  I feel a whole lot better. 

Welcome home.  I'm glad everything went well.  Hopefully the pain will be over soon!

Traci

Thanks, Traci!  I feel good today.

Glad your home!!!!! I have been away from the board for almost 2 weeks now so I am behind on the post. I am glad your feeling less pain honey. That is wonderful that your cousin and her hubby have been there for you. ((((((Hugs))))))) ~Jilly~

Thanks, Jilly!  I feel much better today.  It's a blesing that my cousin is here, especially since my sister is busy with the new baby.  I have been really lucky this week to realize who my friends truly are.

Jen, I'm so happy for you, my friend. You worked so hard to get here! I knew your day would come! You'll do great, I have all the faith in you. Congrats on reaching this milestone. It's hopefully all smooth sailing from here. I hope your recovery continues to go well, and your loss is quick and LOTS! Just keep sipping and walking as much as you are comfortable doing. I can't wait to see LESS of you, when we finally get to meet in person.

Thanks, Kathy!  HUGS! Look in my OH blog to see how things went and how much I already lost!  Wooo Hooo!  I want to get together too, but I'm not up for it right now.  What are you doing for Thanksgiving weekend?  I won't be traveling this year and i thought it would be nice to have an OH get together that weekend.
