Hi everyone, I made it through my surgery on Friday, I'm at my hotel and feeling ok. I was so scared before the surgery I actually started to cry,what a wimp. Anyway, I'm having some gas pain (at least I hope that's what it is) which is in my abdomen, I feel really bloated and sore, but I had no nausea at all, thank the lord!

I feel like this is all some weird dream, it doesn't seem real. I was told Dr. Joffe was doing my surgery, but Dr. Yau met with me for like 30 seconds before the surgery and I never saw him again. I guess he did the surgery, I never saw Dr. Joffe. I felt like they were rushing me out the doors, but I felt ok to leave. I never met Nisrine, only Kathy. I met with the anesthetist very briefly before surgery as well, I have a HUGE bruise on my arm from my IV. I didn't get a very warm feeling from Dr. Yau or the anesthetist, they both seemed to be in a rush and just wanted to get me done and out the doors. I've had 4 surgeries in the past and never felt like it was being hurried like that. Anyway, I'm flying home on Monday and can't wait to get home. I'm taking Demerol every 4 hours or so, it takes the edge off.

Anyway, thanks again for all the well wishes from you guys, I'm glad it's over!
