On the Losing Side!!
Hi Everyone! Thanks for the support! My surgery was delayed a little but around Noon CST, I was wheeled into surgery. I remember thinking as I moved to the operating table, I really don't want to do this.  Thankfully the medication kicked in quickly, and I was out in a few minutes!
When I awoke, I felt like I had been hit by the freight train! Every bump in the hall as I was wheeled to my room felt horrible, and I'll admit, I acted horrible!  My family was there smiling at me, and I was like, don't smile at me!! Luckily for them, I was back out real quick!
I had open surgery, due to my doctor's preference, and my incision is probably 10" long. By Sunday evening and yesterday, I was feeling a lot better and am needing less pain pills. Half of my staples were removed yesterday, and I was able to come home yesterday evening, which I was really glad.  (The ride home was difficult because it seemed that I could feel every bump in the road, and we had an 1.5 hour drive home! Even the pillow wasn't enough!)
Other than feeling like my stomach is falling and holding it when I walk and get up, I feel pretty good and will keep you all posted.
