Hone from the hospital
Surgery went great! Went into surgery around 11:00, out of post opp. around 3:30. I'm so surprised... We each had private rooms, I could hear a bunch of people throwing up and all i could think was "Please God don't let me throw-up". Cannot believe it, I have not had any nausea. Sore of course but nothing you can't handle. Thanks for all of your support! Great thing is they gave me some awesome liquid Vicoden to take home. Only stayed over night, i was worried because of all the stories that i had heard about the pain, its not even 1/10th of what i had thought it would be. I wish everyone the best on their surgeries.(: Just took my walk now onto nap-time!
That's excellent news! I'm so happy it went so well for you.
Keep us posted!

I'm doing really well, nana, thank you for asking. Better every day! I feel the same way about the hospital I was in (Mercy Jefferson Memorial in Festus, Missouri) they couldn't have been any more wonderful to me. It make a huge difference when you can just relax and trust your caregivers after surgery, doesn't it?

Welcome have home. Its good to have your own bed and shower etc. I walked outside to the mailbox every hour. Keep up the great work. The hard part is over.
