I'm home.
There was a great deal of scar tissue in the area of which I had pain. I'm not sure exactly how much there was, but it was enough that the nurse remarked about exactly how much there was. So whatever.
Anyway, it went fine. I had 4 incisions, and felt pretty raw yesterday from the rotoroutering. And the gas pain wasn't cool, either.
This morning, I woke up with a migraine which I'm attributing with the general anesthesia. It's not great, but after being in bed all day today, it's a bit better.
Anyway, that's that.

Hi Andrea,
I'm so glad to hear that you are home and okay. I hope that this surgery resolves the painful issues you have been experiencing. Thanks so much for the update you've been on my mind. My mother flew in from Denver Monday night and is pretty ill so I've been caring for her and taking her to the Dr. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you, but I want you to know that you've been on my mind.
Wishing you gentle healing,
