I am finally home....
I got home a couple of hours ago. Ella came up and got me and then there was some other stuff that had to be done. Then just after all of that got done we were getting ready to go....well waiting for someone to come take me downstairs.......Pastor came in. We all chatted for a bit and then Ella left with my bag to take downstairs for when she got the car to bring to the front door. Pastor asked if she wanted him to take down the bag and she told him no and then I told him that he could take my bowl of tulips down for me. So he waited until the man came and got me and we all walked down together.
My trip to the hospital wasn't really to bad. Just one crazy mix up last night but one that felt like it went on forever. I was working on getting something for pain and no one would tell my nurse. She finally came in just before midnight and asked what was wrong.....I was crying so she knew there was something not right........and I told her that I was trying to get a nurse since 8:00. She told me that no one told her. Wow! I really want to thank everyone for that one.......NOT! Michele got me pain meds and got me up to walk and then into a chair and then another pain med and then I was fine. Most of everyone was great and then of course you get a few doosies! We all those kind of people.
I am glad to be home but I am a bit sore. I am coughing and that makes the soreness more sore. But coughing is good after surgery. I got a late hello from Misty since Ella was here for a bit. After Misty knew that Ella was gone she came out and just kept after me. I am going to be going in to the bed to lay down and that is where she is at. So I know that she will be around me again and I hope that she remembers what happened a year and a half ago........wls and she knew then that she couldn't get on my tummy so she had better remember that. She is my sweetie so I am sure that she will.
I have come home with 4 drains which I will have until next week......probably Thursday.....when I go see Dr. Stanish for the staples and drains. I am going to dread getting these drains out. The ones from the wls was bad after 8 days so I can only imagine. I have a lot of staples and yes this is harder than the open rny was but I bounced through this one easier. I am not sure if that is because the rny was the first open surgery that I had had or what. I did use more morphine with this one though. Maybe that is why....oh heck!...who knows and how really cares. It is what it is.
I am going for now........my bed is calling me. I hope that I can do the bed......didn't have the problem with rny so I hope that I don't with this one either. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. I knew that I could all count on you.....you all are totally priceless as far as I am concerned. I will chat more tomorrow. Have a wonderful night and sweet dreams to all.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
So happy to know you are home Brenda. I pray your recovery is very easy. Four drains??? Is that some kind of record!!!??? Wow!!! I don't blame you for not wanting to be there when they take them out, lol.
Rest plenty, drink plenty and yes, you still gotta walk, even if its not RnY.
I was at the hospital most of the day. noregrets had surgery today and so I hung out on the other side of the door waiting for word from her doctor. Surgery took 3 hours, lap VSG, and she did great. The doctor does not anticipate any problems in her recovery.
So one more on their way to the loser's bench.
Thinking about you a lot these days, sending hugs your way!!!
