I think it's great that you are getting all "fixed up". Wouldn't it be cool if he could do a little tummy tuck work as he closed you up?! Ha!

Seriously, take the time to heal -- you will be back to your "new" self soon and will have mega years in front of you to be active!

I'd swing our little yorkie, Harley, for you but he has a cone on his head and isn'T feeling to peppy today.   Normally he would love it if I swang him around.  Monday...wow that's quick.

Sorry you have to go through all this but I'm sure after the recovery period that you'll be much happier.  I had a hysterectomy a loooooong time ago and it has been a GREAT Blessing!!!!!!

God is walking with me every step of the way. Because of HIM this is possible!!

Awe...poor harley...don't swing him.

Yah, weird how quick it all was scheduled. Part was because of the first initial procedure was scheduled and then the rest was added on. Dr wasn't too 'thrilled' about adding all it on because he felt it all came about too quick but hey, I want it all fixed so he just added it all on to the original surgery date.

I look very much forward to all the benefits and bouncing back quick. I am much healthier than I was before so I expect a quick smooth recovery. :)

Glad hubby will be back shortly after - you'll definitely need him to take care of you.

Swinging everything I have for you!!

Can you believe that the doctor says all this will be done outpatient @ hospital? The office admin said that they will keep me no longer than 23 hrs. My surgery is @ 7am on Monday so that means they'll release me by 6am on Tuesday. Jeesh...you'd think I'd get a break and be able to be discharged at least in the afternoon of Tuesday...lol 

So...but ya, let's get 'er done and over with.

 Kaiser refunded my $500 because I was discharged in less than 24 hours.  They thought I'd be staying 2 nights so had me pay for the room.  Maybe this will be cheaper for you?  Vacation money? 

Not sure what I'll be swinging besides my hips, but I'll be sending light and prayers your way as well as a few critters in the air.

Well, back in the "old days", LOL I was in there 3 days. But that was 1994 not 2010. And I was single at the time, living alone. Liz
