girl, you have some powerful prayers! Everything went well. Thanks for thinking of me!!! Nissi :biggrin1:

Hello all fellow bandsters and future ones! I am officially in bandland!!!! I just got home from the hospital about two hours ago. I have been on morphine since 4:00 yesterday and started on percocet when i arrived home at 1:30 today. So i am feeling very little pain right now!! My surgery was at 1:30 yesterday, woke up in recovery at 4pm. was in a lot of pain, but not unbearable pain. As i said above, they started injecting the morphine as soon as i woke up. I got to my room around 6pm, more morphine. My liquid dinner arrived about an hour later. I sippe about 2 ounces of chicken broth, and beleive it or not, it helped my stomach feel better. they had me sit up in a chair for two hours, then had me walk 25 feet at a time every two hours after that. The pain started kicking in, so more morphine and i went to bed. Had pain on and off all night.Finally got some sleep from 3:30 to 6am. After the sleep, i felt much better. Had my upper GI and was discharged and home by 1:30 today. I am sore and feel very tight. But all in all, much better than i expected to feel. The whole thing was not nearly as bad as i had convinced myself it was going to be. Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers! And good luck to the rest of the APRIL BANDITS!! Nissi
