Burp Burp, Gurgle, Gurgle - I'm HOME

Whew! I made it! My surgery was Monday from 11:30 until 3:30. I went to my room at about 5:00. Tuesday was a wierd day - guess it is a good thing I really don't remember much about it. I did think I would go home Tuesday but it turns out that there was never really a plan for me to go home on Tuesday. Just as well. I walked and walked. I drug my poor mother all over Crawford Long - she was a trooper! I was released Wednesday evening at about 6:00. Yesterday and today were okay - just trying to concentrate on getting in the liquids. I've only had 1/2 of a dose of pain medicine today. I do burp alot and my stomach is VERY noisey. Overall, I feel good. I am sleeping all night, walking all day and sipping all the way. For those who are pre-op - I know you've seen this advice before, but this surgery is no joke. Make sure you have a support system ready for you at the hospital. I am so blessed that mother could be with me all week. Trust me, you won't have thought of all the little things that you'll need help with - like picking stuff up off the floor (you think you don't drop stuff, huh?), getting the dogs to get in the kennel for bed, etc.

I am so excited for you! Congrats! And welcome to the other side! Hugs, Tonya

Congrats and welcome to LOSERVILLE!!! It's a great place! We all get used to a gurgling tummy...some days mine sounds like a percolator! LOL! I was very blessed to have my best friend and my sons to be there for me right after surgery. I does help immensely!! Good luck! Glad you are doing well. Tami
