Hey everyone!
I told you I would come on an give an update as soon as I could. Thanks to the many TCS vibes (and the skill of my surgeon) everything went well. My DH has been awesome throughout everything. He is taking great care of me and the boys (and doing laundry!).
I was at the hospital at 6:45 am yesterday morning after dropping the boys off at daycare. I was in surgery by 8 am and the rest of the day was painful blur.
I always react poorly to anesthetic, and yesterday was no exception. Much gagging and puking, but after everything was out I felt better. I spent a lot of time sleeping, except when they woke me to take my vitals and make me drink. I was out of the hospital and home by 3:30.
When I got home, I went right to bed for another 2 hours. Then I came down and the boys were pretty good at being gentle with momma. It helped that my parents were there to distract them. Derek did push against the incisions a few too many times, but I'll survive.
I slept ok to 1 am then I woke up with horrible pain. The pain does seem much worse today and I have a lot of swelling in my stomach from the areas they made the holes to do the surgery laproscopically.
I have a follow up appointment next week to see when I will be able to go back to work. I will try to check in here again soon, but I only have dial up and it hurts to climb downstairs.
Thanks again for all of the vibes and well wishes - they have meant a lot to me!
