Marge, I am impressed that you have a prescription for Vicodin and haven't used it yet.  As for your happy purse, just wait til they pull those drains.    When they pulled the drain out of Blobby, the tubing was three feet long!  I think they must have been draining fluid out of my brain or something.  It hurt like a son of a gun, too, but you're way tougher than me, so you probably won't even feel it. I'm excited to hear your PS went so well, and how does it feel to weigh 167?  Wow! Kix

They always say those drains don't hurt, that's just BS.  They are evil! Congratulations Marge!  LOL now you can be more sympathetic to your husbands anatomy.

hey marge glad to read that you're feeling so chipper so early! congrats on getting this done. i think you should probably hold off for a little while before you hit the mall on a shopping trip, though! take care. deb

welcome back Marge.. Glad to here you are doing well.. I can't wait to see the "after" pictures. Are you planning on having any other PS or is this? Take it easy... Lynn

So glad to hear you are doing well and feeling no pain. Can't wait to see the after pics.

Marge, Glad your doing good. Now don't forget to rest and take care of yourself. Pam

Hi Marge, Glad your home and doing well!!! I can't wait to see some pics. (((soft hugs))) Diana

Hi Marge, I am so proud of you!  Miss you but I'm still lurking.  Why can't I see your before pics? Love, Deb in GA
