I had my surgery at overlook. I had someone stay with me overnight. I didn't think it was necessary but it turned out, I did feel better having someone there.

My surgeon allowed me caffeinated tea 2 days post op. I drink it on the weak side anyway. No issues at all.

My surgeon checked my incisions at my post op.

I just had egg drop soup tonight for dinner. It was so yummy!

My surgeon told me I could have tea right after surgery due to the headache. But I drink it on the weak side. Still mostly drinking water but the tea really helped.

My sleep is off as well. I feel tired but toss and turn. Weird

My plan allows carbonated beverages after two weeks but it will be far longer before I try it. I know I will at some point but really trying to break the grip.

I am doing ok. I started my protein shakes again yesterday and they seemed to go down pretty well. I agree with you. There is no place like home to recover. Still kind of sore but manageable. Glad I decided to take 2 weeks off from work. I have a feeling it will be needed :-)

I had no catheter

I am home now. So glad to be in my own bed!

Op went well. Tired, and a little sore but manageable.

Stressing a bit. I have to be at the hospital at 7am. I worked today so I wouldn't have too much free time to freak.

I am on Monday. I panicked a bit but am now eager to get it over with and start the new normal

I found it at Walmart in the peanut butter section.

My surgeon says overnight. I don't know that I would be comfortable coming home the same day. I live alone, so I feel better be cautious. Elaine
