Well this is my first official post. I have been looking around and see some amazingly supportive people. I have chosen not to tell many people that I had surgery because when I did mention it they were quick to make judgments.

It is nice to be able to come to a place and feel like you are not alone.

I had surgery on Monday and I am back home. Feeling good and ready for the rest of my life.

Have a happy Thursday Everyone

Hi,

I had my surgery this past Monday as well. (5/23/11) How are you feeling? I've told everyone. They were either really supportive or scared/concerned, but no one has been negative.

As of yesterday, I still felt like, "What have I done?!?" Today has been better.

Good Luck to you!

I am actually feeling really good. Anxious to get back to my 'normal' things like work and taking care of the stuff at home but i am making sure I take it easy.

I had the same thought on Monday but after I met someone at the hospital she made me feel better. Alot of people have told me this is the best decision they have made.

Are you in alot of pain?

Good luck to you as well :)
