So happy for you

Welcome to the losers bench!!

Everything went well. Honestly, so far, it hasn't been too bad.

I'm starving. I could only have ice chips all day yesterday. The gas pain was horrific, but (tmi) I had a bm almost immediately so that subsided.

The incision with the drain was/is the most painful. Fortunately, most of my pain has come from this stupid IV. I didn't get in a whole lot of walking yesterday, because I was so nauseous. However, I have been getting my walking in since earlier this morning...I haven't gotten much sleep.

I suspect that I won't need very much pain medicine today, because I am starting to feel a lot better. I can't go home until Thursday...my doctor decided that before I came here. The hospital staff is awesome, so I don't mind staying.

Thanks for all of the well wishes!!! You have no idea how much they help!!!
