Although I considered punking out several times, I actually made it on the plane! I'm so ready to get to the losers bench. My surgery is later today with Dr. Garcia at Mi Doctor.

GROOVY!! You are through the worst part!! Sorry you had such a bad first night. It just goes to show how everyone truly has different reactions. The drains didn't bother me at all and I'm and side sleeper, as well. So glad your surgery was smooth, Keep on walking and have a safe flight home. Like you, I soooooo dreaded that long flight back to Atlanta.

Hahaha Atlanta ... Try flying back to Auckland New Zealand after! They suggested we stay 3 nights in the hotel ... I'm also paying and extra $900 to fly premium economy from LAX -> NZ ....

Going to be the longest trip home ever! Lol

Yes...Dr. Luna...oh la la...Just a suggestion if u hvnt already. Be sure to read your discharge summary report in the folder they gave you to be sure the dates and everything is correct. Mine was not and I'm struggling to get the summary fixed an emailed to me... Then they accidentally sent me another person's summary instead with the same first name. Just a heads up. Oh and the broth at the Hotel gave me diarrhea! Lol Have a safe flight! I had a major freezing frenzy & since there are no blankets on the plane the stewardess warmed up a large plastic bottle with a hot hot Water in it and I hugged it for 4 hrs- it saved me! I was literally shaking for the first 30 minutes on the plane because of being cold. Best of luck!

In regards to freezing... a gal suggested I take the warming Patches for sore muscles and the handwarmers that you squeeze and they stay warm for quite awhile... I already have them in my bag!

Isn't Mexico warm / the desert?!? Lol I'm going to google temps in may

It was actually chilly when I was there but they said it was a cold spell. Reminded me of home in Orlando with the fluctuations. it was the plane ride that did me in! I too upgraded to 1st class & they still had no blankets! Guess my body was in freakout mode but I was 3 days postop from major surgery. Best wishes on ur long flight home!
