4 days ago!  My surgery was conducted on Fri April 15, 2011.  All went well and was able to sit up in a chair for about 30 min only 4 hours afterwards.  Then I took a walk to the sun room to see the rising Mississippi River at 7:30PM and a longer walk around the halls to see the snow at 10:30 PM.  Slept OK for short bursts between disturbances for vitals, bathroom, etc. 

Saturday, April 16, 2011 released after a jaunt up to the 8^th floor for the spectacular view and lunch with Max & Grammee.  Hit the road home soon after that.  Hooray! 24 hours in the hospital room was enough for me :)  Can’t wait to jump...OK, slide, ouch...into the adjustable sleep number!!

 

Slow and steady is the name of the game right now.  Up walking around the house, sitting on the couch, back to bed, take chunks of pain pills, sleep, and repeat.  Finally, today I feel good enough to check email and blog a bit, too.  So far, so good!  I am SOOO thankful and grateful for my mom who has been staying with us to help with everything!
