Default Had my surgery yesterday! Woohooo!

Hey there! I had my surgery yesterday, and am back at home tonight! It went great. Yesterday was rough...nausea and discomfort...but nothing too serious. Today I felt great! I stopped hitting the morphine around 3am, and by 4:30am I was up walking the halls. I was off all iv's and moniters by 2pm today! I just kicked back and watched the soaps until hubby came to get me at 5pm. He's off work tomorrow to stay home with me..but really, I feel great. I plan on following the rules...walk, sip, rest...but I am amazed at how good I feel! It was great to have jello and broth today..and feel full! Wow! Well, I'm rambling now...it's the Lortab talking! Time for me to hit the bed! Talk to you all soon!
