I'm out of surgery! :scared0: Make room on the losers bench for ME!

I am out of surgery and feeling much better here at the recovery house. I got a nice warm shower and new dressings and just sitting in and getting comfortable.

I met Pat and Laurie from the forums here and both are just great! Hi girls!!!

Dr. Almanza was great and I am very pleased with my stay here. The food smells SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING downstairs... but I can't have any. Boo! lol We have Clear liquids today and tomorrow FINALLY we can have some broth. I can not wait!

My idea of a good meal right now... lets see... a biscuit with a touch of butter (craving it!), some salted noodles, and a little chicken breast marinated with some italian dressings. YUM! Can you tell I am hungery? lol

I know a lot of people said they weren't hungry at all after surgery... but I am starving it seems. The hunger pains could be gas tho. ha I had a popsicle and it was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. I am ready for some salty broth.

When I get home and I am comfortable, I will detail all about my experience here. It was great and I would highly recommend Dr. Almanza, Dr Betancourt and their staff.

Congrats! I hope that mine goes as well as yours in two days. I am looking forward to it and not the least bit anxious. I am really ready to start this new adventure. I am sure it will be painful but worth it in the end. See you on the other side on Monday!

Congrats on your upcoming sugery. I had mine 1-19 and the pain was nit bad, only needed pain meds 1-2 times during the 2nd day, what ever they give you during sugery has a lasting effect.
