Today's THE day!!!!!
Thank you all for your well wishes. I am doing very well! I have very minimal pain, just soreness. They put an abdomenal binder on me even before I was awake after surgery and that has helped so much. Walking early and frequently is also key. I walked to the bathroom twice while in the recovery room. (I had to stay there longer waiting for a room to be vacated and cleaned) The plan is to be discharged sometime this afternoon as long as I can tolerate clear liquids. Still waiting for them to bring me some. 😀 I was restricted to 1 oz of ice or water all day yesterday and last night so looking forward to some Unjury chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles, etc. but plan to take it slow. Nausea was minimal as well and was mostly in the recovery room. Thanks once again to you all for your thoughts and prayers. They mean so much!
