Surgery sucessfull
Arrived for my 11am surgery time, found out actual surgery was not scueduled until 2:40pm, but they could take me earlier which they did at approx 1pm.
I woke up in around 4pm, was much more choherant by 5pm. Moved to my room at 6:30pm. Start sipping walking immediately and have not stopped since.
No toots yet :-( but gas pain although a big dis comfort is easily controlled with some simple meds.
Should be sent home tomorrow around 10am.
Thanks all for you support. It really does help us newbies gain confidence from reading everbodys journey. Now where is my spot on the loaers bench eh?
