Well, I made it back alive!  I checked in to the hospital at about 6:30 am on Monday, was in pre-op by 10, on the table at 11:15 and back in my room before 3.  I woke up in some room that wasn’t the OR or my recovery room and was having intense pain/nausea and literally BEGGED them to put me out again hehe.  Not sure if they did or not but I didn’t wake up again until I was back in my room, still in pain but not as bad as it was.  I had the dreaded gas pain and although I was in and out of consciousness, I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone.  I kicked everyone out of my room and just slept, the first person I was able to actually have a convo with was my best friend at about 8 p.m and then I just passed out.  I woke up the next morning feeling way way way better and have been doing well ever since.  They discharged me Wednesday morning and I have had very minimal pain at the insicision sites and not TOO much more gas pain.  I can comfortably sleep on my back. Eating and drinking has been rough and I haven’t been doing enough if it.  I need to get my mind around the fact that just because I can't eat that gooey chees pizza (that my mother picked up on her way home my first day back from the hospital might I add ) it doesn’t mean I still don't need sustenance no matter how dull and bland it is!  I guess I'm more of an all or nothing kind of girl and this is the first time when "all" has not been an option. Well, sorry for the wordiness of this but I just wanted to let y'all know that I made it to the other side safe and and sound, all your prayers were so greatly appreciated and boy am I excited to get to the fun part of all of this...LOSING!!!
