Another one bites the dust.
Well I did it. Thursday afternoon at 3 pm this Central Nee Yorker say goodbye to his old self and hello to a journey to a whole new me !
I have read these posts for months now and participated in what I could when I could. Here's the great news for anyone else who just starting the journey. 99.9% of what they tell you is true / real / spot on whatever you want to call it. Thanks to everyone that went before me to give me the knowledge and insight into what I was about to do. Your words of experience and encouragement are, have been , and will continue to be priceless.
Day one post op sucks it feels like you got hit by a Toyota Tundra with a snow plow and a salt spreader on it ( don't own one but because I live in the snow Capital of the North East I can use it as a reference ). Then day two comes around and it is awesome and so much easier.
More updates to come but that's where I am currently. Resting comfortably in my home for the long holiday weekend not worrying about what to make for breakfast lunch and dinner. My God what will I do with all my time now ?
I guess you'll just have to rest, sip and walk.... Welcome to the jungle ..... Whoops I meant to the losers bench !!

Congratulations! Good to hear things like this before my surgery. I swear I go back and forth on an hourly basis. "Having this surgery is going to be great" and then "am I insane having my insides rerouted". THis happens over and over again so it's great to hear you're doing well, home and all is as expected.
