Wow!!! Glad u r doing okay!! Take it easy......

That was fast lol congrats

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

I'm home!!! Very sleepy, minor pain, they have a belly band (like a girdle) around my tummy … offers some additional support and security. Apparently my bladder is still sleeping, but i am tolerating ice water very well and even had a little apple juice in recovery.

Some gas pain, too … I had a hernia so they fixed that and the doc explained that they puffed me up w/ additional gas. Sooooooo just thought I'd check in … going back to sleep now!! :)

Smiley' date=' I think this is probably normal. I had my surgery yesterday and feel like I have a ton of mucus in my throat. It hurts too bad to cough so there's really no place I can make it go. Let me know if yours clears up in the next couple of days. I'd like something to look forward to, lol.[/quote']

My mucous was very bloody and disc gusting! It wasn't until day 3 I could bring it up and out! Has to do with the breathing tube! Scratches the heck out of the throat! No worry !

im now set for Dec 19th. 2 days from now! Well' date=' about 32 hours from now!!![/quote']

U r on count down!!!!! Yeyyyy
