Congratulations now your on the other side of surgery! I'm glad you posted that your doing well. Last time you were singing "tomorrow tomorrow". So guess what?  Today I get to say tomorrow tomorrow!!  They cut me tomorrow!

Fingers crossed it all goes well

all my best!  Recovery is easier then you think if you don't have complications (and I'm sure you won't).  Don't rush.  The first day I wasn't allowed to even drink water.  The second day I had chicken broth and Jello.  The chicken broth tasted like a gourmet meal.  The jello (unsweetened) tasted so sweet I could stand it.  Make sure you have an advocate at the hospital and that they/you know what they are giving you.  They gave me dextrose in my saline (I'm a type 1 diabetic).  My worst enemy was the pharmacist who wouldn't give me enough insulin even though my surgeon said it was my decision.

All in all it wasn't horrible!

Good luck!!!
