Hey everyone don't know how this is going to come out but typing isn't easy. I am home I came home Saturday night/ I had some mild complications with anesthesia and oxygen levels but overcame them. Tammy thank you so much for coming up to the hospital from what I was told my surgery took 4hr and 40 mins.  So... my stomach doesn't hurt haven't had an issue with that but my feet hurt. Go Figure!!! Supposedly they had my legs in an awkward position and it caused my ankles and feet especially bottom of feet to swell and bruise up so walking is very difficult right now. I had to go to local hospital yesterday and get xrays done of my feet. Anyways I am OK making it everyday and thanks for all the prayers. I'm not able to stomach anything just yet excep****er and ice.Thank goodness fro spell check cause this did looked bad!!

Hey Melanie. I am so glad you are home. Sorry that you had some complications. Just sip on the water for now and try to get the protein in. I have been praying for you and will continue to. Good luck and keep us updated!

Glad you are home Melanie & doing good.  Try to get up & walk if you can on those poor feet, it will help with the rest of your recovery!!!

Melanie,

Welcome home, sweetie!  I am so glad things went well.  I enjoyed talking to your hubby.  He is a very nice man.  I know of several folks that have had a bit of trouble with the anesthesia but that is why we pay good money for a great doctor.  You were/are in good hands.  I am so happy for you and am proud to welcome you to the losers bench.  You know how to reach me if you need ANYTHING!  I will try and make it out your way when I can to check on you again!

Huggles!
