I made it! Overnight was a little rough, nausea being the main issue. I anticipated that, it's common for me after anesthesia. I wasnt able to start drinking yesterday due to nausea but have been doing well with it today. The most pain by far is from my umbilical hernia which ended up being very involved. But now i have a cute new belly button!

Should be headed home this afternoon. Let the real work begin!

Congratulations! It does get easier as each day passes. Less discomfort and more energy. Has the nausea passed yet?

CONGRATS!!!!

Glad you now have a cute little navel, kinda weird celebrating such a thing but it is important to you so therefore of interest to,me too. I told you I bet that one was going to pain the most! But you're better, not feeling so rocky and I'm glad for that! I usually don't have that much anesthesia nausea but I am getting older and it might hit me harder. If it does I'm in good company,aren't I? Its been years since i had that much intubation, but I'll get through it, you did after all. It's odd, but each story makes me feel closer, like I'm part of a big society of something. I belong! I just got to go through my initation and I'm there!
