im home and its GREAT!
hey all! im home from the castle and all went very well!!! why i worried sooo much and made myself a wreck is sooo beyond me! im tellin ya all, its not bad at all!!!! i got to the hospital tues at 7:30am, took to get in gown etc at 8:00, went to surgery at 9:20 for 9:30 surgery, my dr. held my hand and rubbed my leg until i was out and next thing i was in recovery...no coughin, no throwin up just very thirsty and dry lips, gave me shots of morphine every 10 min then off to my room on the maternity ward... private room!! woo hoo! where my mom and fiance were waitin for me. very oput of it and hoarse...no voice. then the next mornin 5:30am a wonderful 3rd shift nurse gave me a sponge bath, took cath out took me to go pee...which was difficult for i couldnt really feel down there but i went, then she took me for a walk, also difficult then ate a real breakfast. then my dr. came in at noon and said if i pass gas i can go home that afternoon, said all the gettin up and walkin was great! now home i do hurt alot, mostly at night when the gas pains float up around my ribs and kill but my fiance gets me up to pass gas and to pee....oh and short hot baths are wonderful and aid in recovery as well!!!! night sweats are weird and new to but such a small part of what i am so use to and the best part.....no more peein myself when i cough woooohooo!!!! best of luck to all still waitin, my prayers are with ya's susan

susan, welcome home and welcome to our side of a much better way of life! i just had my tah/bso last monday. it sounds like you had a really nice castle stay (i can't really say the same). remember that you are a princess now and let others take care of you for a while now.
