Hi Everyone..

Thanks for the well wishes! Everything went well, we had a little delay, but I was sleeved early afternoon. It was a long night, but the center has these amazing recliners so I never touched the bed. The nurses say that most folks stay in the recliners. That being said I am looking forward to going home to my comfortable bed and recliner :-D

I was wondering, after going without food from midnight how I would feel when I woke up, would I be starving? Well I have been working on the same bottle of water all night, 16 oz bottle and 3 ounces to go. .. they gave me chicken broth, I think I have had about 2 tblspoons, and SF jello cup, I have eaten about a Tblspn, keep in mind these measurements span the whole afternoon and last night, all tiny sips and dribbles...

I will have work hard when I am off IV fluids to ensure I get my 6 oz at home!

Hope you continue to have a good recovery!! Congrats on making it to the other side!! :-)

How are you feeling?

I am feeling ok, I am still struggling to get my Clear liquids in, tiny sips are so hard! You feel like you are guzzling, swallowing air, but you have only accomplished less than ounce in 5 sips. I had an issue where my arms were very sore, not the gas shoulder pain, but sore muscles in every muscle in my arms, the Doc said it was likely an anathesia thing, that I tensed up before the relaxation meds kicked in. But my arms feel much better today. Otherwise my tummy feels about as good as you would expect, the liquid pain meds are working for me.

Today I want to walk more, I have been doing turns about the yard and around the house, but maybe today we can walk down the street for a little but longer walk.
