My Bubby-Wubby came thru!!
My bubby, Paul, came through his surgery very well today. Dr. Chapman was also able to repair a hernia he had. Paul's resting quietly here at Pitt Memorial Hospital in Greenville. He says he's not in any pain, but just a bit uncomfortable. Sounds like par for the course. That's exactly how I remember it too. He's slipping in and out of sleep as I sit here and type. The nurse has allowed him to have those blue sponge lollipops on a stick to wet his mouth until he's allowed to drink. I remember that first night very well. I had horrible cotton mouth that first night and I would have been even more miserable if I hadn't been allowed those little wet sponge lollipops.
Important note: If you're coming here as a guest to visit someone BRING A JACKET OR SWEATER!!! It's COLD as HECK in this hospital!!!!! That's especially true for us post-ops who are cold all the time anyway.

Tell Paul - WELCOME TO LOSERVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you both were able to get some sleep last night. He'll soon be having that wonderful leak test. It tasted Gawd awful as best I recall. Hope he was a speedy and uneventful recovery.

Congratulations Meredith as Paul makes a monumental change in his life. I know you will be happy to share a much healthier lifestyle with your life partner! What could be better! You look great by the way. I had to double check to make sure you were who I thought you were since I have not been as active on the boards. Shame on me. I need to do better!

Glad he made it through surgery OK. I hope each day will be better and better. Jackie
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
