Hi everyone!  I am home (well, at a hotel) and doing very well.  No pain at all.  I had some terrible gas pain the first 24 hours, but it has gone.  Now I just feel like I have done too many situps!  Ab muscles a little tender, but that is all.  I am tolerating food well, but not able to eat very much at a time. 

I had an asthma attack on the table, apparently my lungs collapsed when the put the tube in.  My heart rate went really high, but they were able to stablize me fairly quickly.  No other complications.

Slept most of the first day, and half of the second, but I am fairly alert today.  No painkillers needed after the first day.

Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers!

 WOW You sound like you're doing great!  Make sure you get lots of rest.  Don't hesitate to take your painkillers, they really do make it better.  Glad to hear everything is ok!!  Good luck on the next stage of your journey!!!

That is great news that you feel great.  I too had no pain, if I wouldn't have seen the stiches, I wouldn't have known he did something in there.

Happy you are well at the hotel.
Keep hydrated...lol

Thanks for letting us know you are ok.  I have been thinking about you over the past couple of days.  Rest up and sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.  Take care of yourself. :)
