DS WENT WELL/Home

Well, it went well. Still asking myself what the hell I have done but I know it is just buyers remorse. I was finally better today and went home. I had four BMs in the hospital. Walking fine. There is a huge difference between IV pain meds and what they send you home with. IV meds have worn off. So far I am making it. I just took some Lortab. I will be in touch. I cannot wait for it to settle down and level out a bit. 

Congratulations and I'm glad it went well for you.  Rest, take it easy, and don't push yourself too hard.  Welcome to the other side - it's all victories from here on out for you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS,  Take it easy and rest and sip.  I am three weeks out myself.

I am so glad it went well and you are home. -Michelle

I'm glad you're home and doing well. Be kind to yourself.

I've been waiting for your update... Glad to hear everything went ok. Take it easy!

Congragulations- so glad its all behind you now. Be good to yourself and be patient in the healing process. I have not been a patient person. I want to be able to do things yesterday- not in the future!

Take Care and get lots of rest

So far have gotten in 24 ounces of water including two protein shakes so it is going okay. I will not let myself get dehydrated. If I have to do nothing bu****er and protein shakes for a bit then so be it. Tolerating pudding okay but only when thinned down with can milk. 

I know this is TMI but Desitin is my new best friend. TO much acid. 

Thank you for all the encouragement.

It's great to hear you are doing well and home from the hospital.  With the pain pills, you may find yourself sleeping too long without fluids.  You can set an alarm to get up and just drink.  Keep us posted on how you are doing.  :o)

That is a GREAT! tip for people that just had, or are getting ready for surgery.  Simple, yet very, very important...
