 |  Yes, I made it home to the loser's bench!
Well, had my surgery on Monday morning and everything went well. Had a little bit of problems in recovery with my oxygen level so they hooked up my breathing machine and it seemed to make the difference.
Couldn't believe it but they let me come home Tuesday after lunch. I have basically slept alot. I am more sore than I thought I would be. I am still taking quite a bit of pain meds. I have more trouble sitting up than I do lying down.
I never would have believed that I would crave water....LOL. I always hated plain water.
Thanks for all the prayers, I am sure it helped me through.

Ladyhawk,
Glad to hear that you are home! The pain will get a little better each day and before you know it you'll be outside taking walks and sipping on that yummy water.
Keep listening to your body for rest, follow your doc & nut's recommendations and take good care of yourself. We're all routing for you!
Congratulations to be on the loser's bench! WAHOO YOU DID IT!
Amy

YAY! Welcome back!! We saved your seat  glad you came home safe and sound. make sure you get your rest and continue to sip sip and walk around when you can. moving will help you tremendously. the pain will ease up as time passes. for now take whatever you need to be comfy.

WELCOME HOME!
I couldn't sit up straight, couldn't lay down flat, just propped myself up and walked when I could....  Go with the water cravings, it's the best thing for you!
Congrats! You made it!!!!

just curious. did you guys get those binder things? the HUGE ace bandge type thing that goes around your middle with velcrow (sp) on the ends? if so wrap it around as tight as you can stand it. you will be much more comfortable. that helped me out A LOT in the beginning.
