Hey all -
I had my surgery Wednesday and got home tonight.  UMASS was terrific!  Yep - there is pain and exhausion as expected - organized all my meds and vitamins and can suck this up for 3 weeks (clears and CIB).  It's gonna be a long 3 weeks!   My only issue was a cough that won't clear and it hurts bad to cough!!  I tried to not use the PCA because it made me dizzzy and feel like i was dreaming, but I did need it.
More later - thanks for all your support!

Welcome Home!  I am 10 days out and still figuring out things myself (what protein will agree with my new pouch etc)  but as far as the pain etc, I feel so much better already and you will too.  I too was at UMASS they were great.
