i am on that freakin amazing bench!!!!!
hello everyone! My surgery at HRRH with the incredible Dr. Start was yesterday and here I sit in my hospital bed feeling great :) I did wake up with 6 holes, rather than the customary 5 lol. Apparently he found and fixed an umbilical hernia I didnt know I had :) has that happened to anyone else? I had gall bladder removed in 2006 so I am assuming it was from that.
I have been burping OK and doing my deep breathing but I so wanna fart!!! Please send me some friendly fart vibes.
Oh I am so happy and excited :) thank you all very much for your words of wisdom and such beautiful support!

Welcome to the bench! It's a great place to be. Glad all went well and you got a bonus hernia fix. Walking helped promote the toots for me...sending you fart vibes as requested.
