Way to go you!!!!!

Just was there, it gets easier, but these first two days are Suckville - population You.

4 days later it gets better exponentially.

Yaaaaas! Way to go RedOrangeSunrise!

How are you feeling today?

Although it feels crappy, it also feels so good to be "on the other side", doesn't it? The anxiety was killing me before!

It does feel great to have the surgery over with. I feel really tired, nauseated, and have awful gas pains. I graduated from ice chips to small sips of water. Tomorrow, I get to have an instant breakfast. I'm using hot pads on my tummy and walking every time I get up to pee. Really looking forward to moving past this stage.

This sugar free instant breakfast is the best thing I've ever tasted. Taking very small sips and watching the golden girls on TV. Still on IV fluids. Still using the heating pad. I very much hope they'll let me go home today!

Why would you want to go home - Heating Pad, Golden Girls, Carnation Instant Brkfst and people bringing it to you while you lie in bed.....sounds like heaven, girl!

Yess, enjoy it! I was in a rush to get out of the hospital too (i was outpatient, but they told me to stay as long as i wanted), but now i wish i could be back there. The bed is comfy, the blankets are warm, and mostly importantly, the pain meds go straight into my IV.
