Home from hospital yesterday

I had surgery Friday, came home yesterday.  It was a little rough at first, but resting helped a lot.  Today is even better as Im getting my liquids in better as well.

I still have a drain in til Thursday....not great, but not totally unpleasant either.

The gas pains are getting better and escaping.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. It is rough the first month, but be assured it greatly improves after that!

I agree with Sandy and make sure you continue to drink!!                debbie

Yay... glad things are going well... Just remember to walk as much as possible and sip your water... Welcome to the loser's bench :)

Awesome for you!!  May your journey be smooth and trouble free!

Best of wishes and prayers for you.  I just started the process of going through this surgery.  Not having mine until the spring 2013.  Cannot wait to see your posts. Good luck!

Best wishes, hope your time after surgery is a great success!

Glad to hear you are home from the hospital. That in itself helps you feel better I think. It may be rough at first but I promise each day will get a little better.

Thank you all for the messages.  Today is going much better.  I feel a lot stronger today.  My back was really bothering me after the surgery, and I was blessed with Flo the next day...talk about timing!  LOL. It was great to sleep in my bed among my fluffy pillows.

I just had some Unjury Chicken Soup.....it was really REALLY good!  I was able to get all 8oz. Down.

I learned so much from reading these boards and learning what to do from others.  The nurses were thrilled that I wanted to walk and do my breathing exercises.

   Glad you are home and doing so well!!  Oh gosh I would of hated having to go home with my drain!!  Mine hurt me so much I could not wait for them to remove it!!     Here's to a quick recovery!!  Sip, sip, sip!!
