I made it through surgery

I came through surgery without any major issues. I just got home from the hospital. Dr. Brader is awesome, and I can't say enough good about the staff at Lancaster General Hospital. They are all top notch. 

I am going to get settled in and get a shower and then will post a little more later.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench, John.  I hope you have a speedy recovery! 

so happy for you and I could not agree with you more about Dr B and his staff.
Welcome to a new year and new you

I am glad everything went good.  Welcome to the other side

Welcome to the Bench John.
Now sit back, relax and work on the fluids and protein  -  thats your job for the next couple of weeks (and it's been more of a chore then I thought it would be at first).

What an amazing start to 2010 for you John! Best wishes for your recovery!

Glad to see your home and doing well John!  Keep us posted on how you're recovering!

 Thanks everyone for your kind words. 

The only major issue I seemed to have with surgery was my blood pressure. It was up pretty high and they kept giving me drugs to try and reduce it. Of course it had to be regulated for me to be able to come home, and it is. I am going to need to keep an eye on it for the next few weeks . Other than that it was pretty much what I expected.  Working right now on trying to get the liquids in and then work from there.  Have a good evening everyone.
