I feel like a "big girl"!

I had my first B.M. this morning! It wasn't even hard... (no pun intended...) I thought they wouldn't let me leave the castle w/o a B.M., but nobody even mentioned it. They just asked if I had passed "wind".

I am so amazed at how great I feel. Last night I actually slept on my tummy! (leg propped up to take weight off) I've always been a tummy sleeper--even during pregnancies.

Funny how such a slight event--like a B.M.--can be such an accomplishment!

I can remember that wonderful moment also. Isn't it funny the little things we celebrate now.
I had trouble passing much gas at the hospital and the doctor had me lay on my stomach (very carefully) to help move things along. It did work, and I found I could lay carefully that way. I wasn't able to get comfortable enough to sleep that way though.
Take care!

Even the most ordinary accomplishments are cause to celebrate. Your first walk to the bathroom unassisted, the first day you can stay up more than a few hours without getting tired.... things we used to do every day, but now seem like milestones.

Recovery is full of baby steps, each one an accomplishment. I hope you have an uneventful recovery.

GO FINALLY READY!! GO FINALLYREADY!! GO FINALLY READY!! GO FINALLYREADY!!
Best Wishes for great recovery!
