thanks all. i am in my room, watching Oprah, eating ice chips, and doing good! A littile pain in the chest from gas, sore shoulder (?), but not too bad, of course still getting the good stuff! How are all the other June 8th ladies doing?

Glad to hear all is well and you are on the road to recovery! :biggrin0:

doing great! Not using the pain pump at all. Out of surgery at 1:10 and crusin' the halls by 6:00

Sounds like you are doing GREEAT... keep it up

Congrats!!! Good luck to you!

The sore shoulder tip is also from trapped wind apparently! Well done on the operation - all these quick responses are giving me confidence for mine (I am such a baby, have a v v v low pain threshold!)

Congrats!! I'll be joining you tomorrow on the losers bench!! Thanks for the shoulder tip! Lol

Keep walking.

Sounds like you are doing wonderfully! That's great!

Sounds like you are doing great! I love to hear about all of the breezes!! I hope mine is a breeze too!

Another day closer to feeling normal. I think the adrenaline rush died yesterday and I napped alot. Of course, being the martyr that I am, first day home from the hospital yesterday I got up at 6:30, walked and fed the dogs, made Breakfast for everyone, did two loads of laundry and then took a shower and nap! Today I am feeling pretty weak, I am going to call my doc this morning and ask if i can have a Protein shake. I got conflicting information - the doc said sure when I asked him in the hospital, but the nut said absolutely not. I think a little protein would go a long way to making me perk up! Took my first prilosec this morning, I was a little nervous about it going down, but no issues so far. sipping my chamomile tea and then I will move on to broth. I just can't stand the Isopure or Cytomax protein drinks!

Thanks everyone for your support and information, it has been invaluable on this journey.
