Hello everyone, thank you for your kind words.

So far things are going well. I got up a couples times in the night and walked to floor a bit. My right side is really sore and I hope that eases off soon.

I have burped a few times but no toots as of yet... Sorry, tmi. I feel like I need to but I dont't want to push at all.

The nurses have been really nice.

Oh right, they told me I had an asthma attack durin surgery! I havent had one of those in years! They think the tube just set it off.

Well, that's all for now! I will post again later!

Hi 

Welcome to the Loser's bench, sorry to hear of the asthma attack, hope there is no longer term

effect

Don't worry the tooting will start once you get more walking in and the sore side will subside as the

healing progresses

Remember to walk, sip, walk, sip and if needed have a nap, often, you have just come out of major

surgery and people sometimes forgets that the body is trying to heal and needs down time, LOL 

Take care and sending warm hugs and healing vibes your way 

Will be waiting to hear of all your WOW's, won't be long LOL as everything happens so fast

Glad things went well for you. 
As someone else suggested nap when you can, hopefully you brought ear plugs to the hospital.  I was so grateful I had read that suggestion on these boards as they were invaluable to me.

Glad things went well & it's good to see you posting so soon

Walking will help with the gas. Burping is a good start.

Good luck with your recovery.

so glad for you!!! you'll be tooting before too long, just give it time, walk lots and that will help both the tooting and that right side pain.

You're awesome!!!!!
