Made it through!

So I made it through the night. Very rough because there's so much gas/air built up it hurts and so does the hernia repair part and one of the incisions. I push the pain med button then fall asleep then it wears off and I wake up pushing it again every hour just about. Started to feel a little better and not nauseous once anesthesia started wearing off. I plan to get walking today as soon as I can. I will also get to have water sips today! One day at a time. Dr Valentine is so wonderful and funny! I was telling him before surgery yesterday how I thought it would make me less anxious to watch a surgery beforehand and he was telling me how he is very much the same. Guess what happened?! He said it was a great textbook surgery so he recorded it for himself and then also gave me one! 

That is wonderful! Keep us posted on your recovery!

Congrats!! Great attitude!! I'm right behind you, June 17th!! I wish you the very best!!
