I made it!!!!!
Good morning everybody! I'm here; I made it to the other side and I'm doing great. Had no complications during surgery and have already gotten in 6 of my 10 required laps around the floor. I'm shooting for 30. I have used the pump a total of 4 times, twice for pain and twice for sleep. That was yesterday; I haven't used it at all today. I'm hardly in any pain at all; it's just a little sore. They will be moving me to oral meds tomorrow. The catheter is gone (HURRAY!!!) but I still have the drainage tube. I have a feeling I am going to be stuck with that until next Tuesday when I go in for my 1 week appointment. But the absolute best thing of all is that I'm not hungry! I'm thirsty as all get-out but couldn't eat a thing even if it was allowed.
Well I'm going to get my first ten laps in then lay down for a while. Between all the interruptions with thermometers, etc., last night and the drugs, I'm whipped. Thanks to all of for being here.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support you are showing; it's been great!
I won't quite get in the 30 laps I was planning on LOL! I guess that was a little optomistic. But so far I am over what the surgeon requires, haven't laid in bed all day, and will still get in a few laps tonight. So I guess I'm doing good.
