Thanks everyone !

I'm back home and recovering well.  still very sore but that's normal.  I hadn't realized how much pain i would have the first few days.  I'm drinking clear fluids now and enjoying them immensely.It was a great experience.  My surgery was at 11;30 and got discharged at 8:00.  they tell you to allow for 9 hours and it's about right on.I never thought i'd be able to say that my surgery was xx number of days ago.  it was always in the future.  It's great.
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes.  It all helps.  THANKS !

Great to hear from you Patsy!!!  You were on my mind so much.  I guess because you were going through it and you were just ahead of me in the process.  I signed my papers last week so I hope to get a call soon for pre-admission.  I am so glad to hear that you are doing well.  You will have to share all the details when you are up to it.  What happened, what they do, how they prepare you for the surgery.  What it feels like.  How are your incisions etc.  And how did your family manage through it all?  It would be a long day for them as well.  Glad you are doing well.  Keep us informed as you progress in your healing.
