Congratulations on a successful surgery, Barb.

It does seem surreal after surgery, doesn't it? All of that waiting and anticipating and then surgery itself is just a tiny blip and we only remember falling asleep pre op and then waking up post op, lol.

I'm sorry you had to stay an extra day, but better safe than sorry. Wishing you all the best for an easy recovery.
