Home sweet home

I'm home from my surgery this morning and although I am a little sore and a little groggy, I'm feeling pretty good. I went in for surgery at 7:45am and I got home from the hospital at around 1:00pm.

I'm so happy to be home and banded!! My little boy (3 years old) came running up to me when I got home and he saw a bandaid on my hand from the IV and he said "Oh mommy you got a boo-boo. Are you sad?" When I said No, he said "Ok, I love you". That was the best part of my day.

I was really nervous too, but I have to say the pain/discomfort was much less that I thought it would be. Today, I'm having some gas pains, my shoulder is pretty sore, but I'm going to go for a little walk and hope that it subsides. Other than the gas pains (which isn't awful), I'm feeling really good.

Good luck on Monday. Just remember it'll all be worth it. :)
