Update on surgery: I'm in my room with a beautiful ocean view I guess I got lucky surgery was at 11ish and so far not to bad. A lot of my pain is actually in my left shoulder feels like a pinched nerve/ knot. As for the stomach my discomfort is probably a 6. It's more discomfort than actual pain. It was the most painful to roll to each side So they could chane the sheets. I am still npo. The worst is I have such a dry mouth I can only rinse and spit. The nurses and staff at Scripps green hospital are all so amazing. Will post again later. Thanks again for all the support and encouragement

Sounds like you are doing great!! Happy for you!!!

Glad to hear you are doing well. Rest and sip sip sip.

Get some rest and continue to get better!

Glad you are doing so well!

Thanks all. I would love to be able to sip right now lol but still npo til tomorrow. I just got up and did 2 laps of walking. I am missing my daughter though

Sounds like you did great. I know I just had the swabs until the next day and my mouth was terribly dry.

Just walked another 5 laps sp far it's not been to bad. Pain is about a 3 right now. Thanks all for the thoughts and kind words
