Time to go home...

I had surgery on 12/7/11 got to go home at 12/8/11. I had such great nurses throughout my stay.
Linda, Lauren, Lesliegh, and Pam were my floor nurses. I cannot remember my Recovery nurse or my preop nurses or any of the wonderful OR nurses. If I could I woud write them each a wonderful note thanking them.

I got to leave around 1pm on 12/8 and we are heading out of San Fran. I was doing great not that much pain and no nausea.

Ok no nausea until hubby started swerving in and out of traffic trying to get me home early. Oh boy oh boy I was so sick. He wanted to get me home quick and had a honking contest with another driver so I didn't want to ask him to slow down and stick to one lane. Thankfully I am home in record time.

My first few days were hard. I had pain medication but boy was it disgusting. I still have 95% of it left...biggest bottle of liquid vidocin I have ever seen. I got up every hour and walked a little around the house. I remembered the rule...sip sip sip walk walk walk. The only pain I really had was with the muscles and it sure felt like I did 1,000 sit ups.

I am honestly surprised it was easier than I thought it would be...Thank goodness.
