It's done!
Happy new birthday to me! Surgery done successfully this morning. Dr said everything went great. Had issues with throwing up which I knew was going to happen. Took me a while to wake up completely. Have already got an ounce of water down and walked the hall and sitting in chair. Stomach is sore but only taking tylenol for the pain. Should go home by noon tomorrow as long as xray looks good.
Thank you for all of the support!

Yay, great for you! You might have a couple of rough days. Probably not. Each day gets a little better.
