bestowed by Dr Pop himself no less!

Just checking in the Marriot Eaglecrest (at $50 per night through Priceline thanks to all the wonderful advice I got from many of you)

Thanks to Jennie for keeping my OH friends updated. And thanks for all your well wishes and support, it really does help knowing there are many caring people out there who know exactly what you are going through.

I'm doing really well all things considered. Don't have any gas pains so far (she knocks on wood). I'm limited on what I can take for pain relief but other than when I go to get up or sit down, I don't really have any pain.

Biggest problem so far is remembering to take small sips and wait in between. Enough discomfort and I guess I'll learn to remember.

Barix was wonderful, great care and of course a great surgeon.

More to come later.

This is sounding good Lorraine!  Get your rest and do remember to sip-sip-sip!  Getting dehydrated is no fun!  I stayed at the Mariot also and really loved it!  But I didn't get the $50.00/night price tag!  Good for you!  I know you'll call once you've settled back home and I look forward to it.

Welcome to the Bench Girl!
