Reporting from my hospital bed

So, my surgery was today!!

Everything went smoothly and no complications.

My mouth feels dry like the desert and although I don't have any shoulder gas pain I am belching like a guy in a bar downing a few beers.

Overall it's been wonderful and I did have a quick flash of "should I do this?"

But that thought passed quickly!

So now I'm walking the halls and feeling no pain, just a little sore.

Anyone else run the gauntlet with me today???
