Well what started out as being a 5 hour procedure for brachio and bl/ba lasted 8 and won me a night in the hospital. Yeah for morphine!!!  Home now and am going to try taking a shower (drains and all).  Just super tired and trying to wean myself off the pain killers.  Amazingly the thing that hurts the most is my right shoulder which I think is just from positioning during surgery.  The sutures in my armpits don't feel that great nor do the insicion on my back.  But absolutely NO pain with the girls.

Yay for surviving!!! Girl, don't go weaning of the pain meds until you really can. Don't be a hero. I hope the shower went okay and I hope you continue to improve every day! Glad the girls aren't bugging you.

Hang in there! Keep us posted!!

Kate, I'm so glad you're doing so well.  Yay for morphine is right!  I hope Dr. Sauceda has something strong waiting for me when I get to recovery!

That's great that your girls aren't hurting!!
