I am home and doing great!!!!

I went in for the surgery monday at 7:30 a.m. the surgery lasted a round 2.5 hours. I slept most of monday and when I was awake I was nauseated. about 8:00 that evening I requested the catheter be removed and I started going to the bathroom on my own. I was up most of the day tuesday. I walked every hallway on the third floor tuesday and wendesday I was home by 10:00 a.m. I am taking 800mg of Ibuprofin every 6 hours and sgetting up once during the night. It feels good to actually sleep most of the night. Before the surgery I was up every hours or so. I am sore, but I am not having any major pain. If I knew the surgery would be this easy I would have had it alot sooner. I had an entire church praying for me and I have no doubt that is the reason I am feeling so good. I had a bikini cut and the doctors were unable to stretch the muscles open due to the scar tissue so they cut the muscles. The doctors didn't expect me out of bed until wendesday. I will continue to take it slow and easy, I don't want to over do it and be back at the hospital. Sorry so long, I just wanted to let everyone know I was doing great.
