I'm on the bench!!

Congrats!!!!  Yes the pain and discomfort seems like too much to bear, but soon it'll be a distant memory.  Cheers to a smooth and quick recovery! 

Hah, I missed my morphine, too!  I loved that little clicky button.

I'm glad you were able to get through it with no complications!  Yay for passing the leak test.

They had me up and walking about 4 or 5 hours after surgery and I was like, are you serious?  SIGH, okay.  They were relentless about it, too, it was at least 3 times a day.  But remember, it's good for you, DVTs are not your friend!

And lol @ "I think I seen Jesus 3 times!"

I had a lot of scar tissue also from some other surgeries, but came through okay.  I'm so glad you are on the right side of the surgery!! Hang in there - it all gets better after this!  In a few weeks you are going to feel so good!
