I Made It

So I showed up at my friendly local hospital at 6:30am on Saturday to make sure I got a room, checked in, and spent the day reading mostly.  I also met with the anesthesiologist.  I got prepped for surgery at 4:30am on Sunday, but didn't get wheeled down to the operating theatre until around 10:00am.  I was wheeled back at 2:00pm.  Since then, I've been well drugged, have drunk lots and lots of water, walked the halls and made a series of little balls dance with my breath with my handy dandy spirometer. 

And now I'm home!  I haven't vomited, and while I'm sore, I can move around pretty well.  Bottom line, I made it!  I'm now on the bench.  Thanks for saving me a space. 

Thank you!  I was so very glad just to get to that point.  It feels as if this has been a long time coming.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! what an awesome and uneventful surgery and immediate post-op .... I am soooooooooooo happy for you!!!! Welcome to the bench .... I wish you nothing but the best as you embark on this part of your life changing journey.... again Congrats!

Thanks!  I was really pleased.  Apparently the other women who had surgery the same day as me were all having issues.  My nurses kept saying, "You're the only one who hasn't vomited!"  I'm not sure why that was, but I'm grateful for it.

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed to see today. Best wishes.

Thank you!  This place is always so great about helping its members.

Wonderful news!

Thank you!  I think so. 

 Congrats, Karen!  So happy to hear things went well and that your are home.
