Thank you Lisa... I appreciate your response. I will be Here for you As well. You are right behind me, lol... Just waiting to go into prep for surgery!!! I'm thankful & feeling blessed...

I will pray for the success of your surgery. After surgery remember to walk, walk, walk. It will help to loosen things up and make the pain go away.

thank full & feeling blessed to be here. The other side is a nice feeling, lol. Come on over, you have my & everyone's here support every step of the way. I am certainly proud of myself and all of us for getting through this!

Yay! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? I know my surgery day I was out of it too! I enjoyed the sleep though. How are you doing with gas pain? Now we are on the losers bench! Wahoo!

@@carebear42, Yes, yes, yes happy to be on the losers bench... My sleep has been great. The gas has been thankfully mimimm. I felt some lastnight but not too bad. More so weak & dizziness. The nurse gave me some meds in my IV after a nap, I was all good. On clear liquids today been enjoying that a lot. Ho we have you been?

I am doing well. The gas pains haven't been too bad until today. Still not overly painful but I think it's all trying to escape now. We have been taking lots of walks. My two year old just bumped my side with his knee and that hurt. Poor thing didn't mean to. Other than that I am just trying to get water and protein shakes down. When do you go home?
