2 days to go.

2 more days until surgery early Monday morning. I am super nervous now. Hoping for a busy weekend to keep my mind occupied.

      Congrats! I just had surgery 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm doing great! The hospital stay was no big deal. I have had no nausea and sipped the broth, ate the jello and sipped the water slowly. I was fine.

      Prepping all day. Clean house, wash laundry, last minute shopping and getting my hospital bag ready. Yay, this time tomorrow I will be out of surgery!!! It's getting too real. ????

    Doing well here. Just took second walk. No catheter and I'm having sips of water. Pain took awhile to get under control but better now. Casper? How are you doing?

    Hey jennolson. I'm so happy for you.

    You're doing great.

    When I first came out I was in pain but mess kicked in. Then I had a little gas pain. Now I'm good. No more pain meds.

    Jewels the nurse called it the gift that keeps on given. Lol. You be running until the morning. Sorry.

    Jennolsen how are you feeling today? Mad gas is leaving me every way possible. Lol. It helps to walk. Also maybe ask your nurse for a compression belt. They have me one and it helps a lot.

    Let me know how things are going

    So day 2 in the hospital. They found a tiny leak and now no food again today. Pain is hard to manage I'm either in pain or to tired to keep my eyes open. I'm hoping the leak isn't a problem at all and I'll be alright in a few days.
