Its called versed that will take care of that little problem. Good luck.

It's normal to feel nervous. I started bawling when they told me to say goodbye to my family that were in the staging area with me. Before you know it, the surgery will be over and you'll wonder why you were ever nervous.

Best of luck to you!

Hi everyone :) I am just now waiting for my wheelchair to get here because I've been discharged.

Surgery went great according to what the surgeon told my mom but I was in a lot of pain once I woke up in recovery. They pumped me full of meds. Gas pain is mild in my shoulders but it hurts to try to get a cleansing breath. Hopefully this goes away soon, more annoying that painful.

I am quite nauseous because I haven't eaten since before 10PM last night. All I know is I can't wait for some Jello and sugar free Popsicles as soon as I get home.

I am officially in band land!!!!

Congratulations!
