Ok so far I have been extremelj lucky I am only on anti inflammatory and Tylenol and I don’t have a lot of pain. I am able to drink so easily that they gave me a little cup to slow me down. I can walk around short distances by myself. I am soooooooo thankful for all the tips people on this chat gave me to bring pajama pants, chap stick and dry mouth spray as I have used them all and they have resolved aloe of issues.

The hospital did give me chapstick too as well as toothpaste and toothbrush but of course I packed My own. The nurses here are wonderful. They are so attentive and so amazed that I had surgery today and am feeling as well as I do.

I am not out of the woods yet. They are considering a catheter as I am having trouble passing urine but they said it will not have to be left in just to drain my bladder for now as this is not unusual and I should be fine soon.

overall I am thrilled about my recovery and glad to be able to pass on the morphine they offered as it always makes me nauseous. I just wanted to check in and say thanks to all of you and let you know I appreciate all your kind words, tips and support. . ?

Fortunately I am still felling pretty good. The nurses and nurse practitioner are talking about my going home today instead of tomorrow. Just waiting on Surgeon to agree. I was also able to pass urine so No more talk of Catheter. Thank god. Thank you for thinking of me and good luck on Your big day.

It’s me again. Two days post op and struggling a little with the liquids but other than that I am good. They allowed me to go home after only one night. I am walking as much as possible and using my spirometer. They said I’f I find that liquids are serious issue I can go back and get an iv as an outpatient so I have to figure out where to go if that becomes necessary.
