I don't want to hex myself but I am doing remarkably well.

Little pain, no nausea and according to nurse Laurie I "pee like a rock star".

they are keeping me in two nights due to logistics - I live 2.5 hrs from Ottawa.

it will be nice to be home.

I will write a full account for pre-ops in Ottawa when I get home.

Thank you for all the kind words and support. Jo

Congratulations Jo,

It is great news that you are feeling so well! Keeping you is a great idea since you are so far away, here in Toronto you have to stay no more than an hour from the hospital for the first week if you are going through Humber for safety. I wish you a speady recovery :)

Ottawa was really excellent. That is coming from a nurse!!! I'm 1.5 hours from Ottawa and so the extra time was helpful!
