Ran into some complications so yesterday and this morning was scary. Starting to feel better the last couple hrs.

There you are!!!!!! Honey - how are you doing? What happened? I've been on pins and needles!!!!

Sending special thoughts your way. God bless & watch over you.

Hoping all is well now--complications gone--and you are on the road to recovery.

The surgeon discovered a large hiatel hernia as he was starting the operation. It was also in a very difficult spot. So it added an extra 2 hrs to the surgery. And due to its location it has made my recovery super painful. Due to the pain, this morning and most of the day my heart rate became tachycardic. And my limbs swelled up. My face turned beet red. Which had everyone extremely concerned. I couldn't walk at all yesterday. The surgeon said it was too dangerous due to the hernia repair. So imagine all the pain plus gas...it was awful. However, this morning he let me walk, the swelling is going down, heart back to normal and I feel much better!! Thanks for checking on me! I got thru it!! Yay me!!

Yay! So glad you are feeling better!

Glad to hear you are doing better. Keep us posted.

How scary. Glad to hear that you turned the corner. Prayers for a speedy, pain free recovery.
