I am home,.........and alive!!

I am home....in pain, but alive!! I had a lot of blood loss due to a nicked vein around my spleen area, but other than that everything went really well. On my preop diet I lost 16 1/2 pounds!! I tried a few bites of applesauce, that just made me sick. So now I am sipping on a protein drink, then back to bed!! Good luck to all those to come!

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Glad to hear you are doing well

I'm glad to hear you are home!  What was it like?  Any words of advice for someone going in 11 days?

I am still very sore, however it was just yesterday. Take your time in recovery. They kept trying to get me ready to go home and everytime I would get up I got sick to my stomache and was about to throw up and that is the worse thing you can do,........so I told them no, I would let them know we I was ready to get up. Just take it easy. My surgery went really quick and everything went really well.  Good luck and I am sure you will do great!

Glad to hear you're OK.   I'll be there on Monday.   I hope for your speedy recovery!

Glad to hear it went well!!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
