I'm home and it wasn't so bad!

I entered the hospital on Monday morning, had surgery at 7:30 and I was out today by 1:00. It was a lot easier than I thought once I got the anxiety drugs. I almost didn't make it into surgery because I was freaking out so bad. I couldn't stop shaking or crying and I couldn't think. My sweet husband talked me down because he knew that if I got up and walked out...which I really wanted to do...I would kick myself for the rest of my life. I have transitioned really well. It didn't hurt too much...of course the drugs help! I'd equate it to the recovery from the birth of my children. I was on a liquid diet for two weeks before the surgery and I was religious about it and I had absolutely no problem drinking water or my protein drinks after the surgery. I was amazed. I thought I was going to have to deal with being sick and throwing up and work my way up, but I didn't have to. I'm pretty much where I was before the surgery. Anyway...all is well, it wasn't awful and I know in the end I am going to be better off. Thanks to all of you who prayed for me. I really appreciate it! 8-l
