I'm home, doing well!

I'm home and did great.

I have no complaints except that I am apparently allergic to tegaderm/tagaderm (sp?) and have blisters around my incisions because we didn't realize it and get it off fast enough.

I'm sipping and walking, burping and passing gas, and my bowels have started working with diarrhea...  All to be expected 3 days after surgery.

I had gained 7 pounds from all the fluids they pumped into me, but all that went into the toilet last night. Hard to sleep when you have to pee every hour. 

Ok, back to my sipping. Just wanted to check in and thank everyone for the lizards and let you know I did great. I even get to start protein shakes on Saturday for lunch. Yay me!
