It's Over! I'm Thrilled! I'm on the other side!
My surgery was two days ago and I got home yesterday evening. I must be soooo lucky. The surgery went really well and I was so pleasantly surprised on how I felt afterwards. I would describe my condition as uncomfortable but not painful. I was expecting so much more! I was up walking two hours later and had slight gas but nothing like some people would describe with their shoulder gas pain. My biggest issue is getting in my liquids. I have been sipping on water all day long and probably have gotten in only 16 oz. I can't believe how well I can move around and get up and down. I just had someone drive me to the grocery and got a little walking in there while we picked up a few items. Now for a little nap! I took my prescribed pain medicine through the night and then switched to Tylenol today and so far so good. I hope everyone's surgery and first couple of days goes as well as mine! Thanks for all the prayers.....they must have worked!
