Made it Through - Make Room on the Bench!
Everything went great! I had a pretty large hiatal hernia which is now fixed. No problem drinking water or sucking on popsicles, but the jello was a little iffy.
Gas pains are annoying but tolerable. I have taken a few laps around the floor. I have only peed once, just 10 oz and much earlier. And I'm sippin a lot!
I haven not seen my nurse a whole lot...very busy and understaffed. That is the only less than ideal part of this experience so far.
Provided that everything is still good in the morning then I should be home by noon!
Thank you for all the good thoughts!
