    3 hours and posting - WOW!

    You are a trouper, Jeff. I was still groggy at three hours. 

    I am so happy to hear that everything went great. Now, don't over-do it. Get the rest you need and get yourself out of the hospital. 

    So good to hear from you so soon.

    Prayers

    I'm sure you are over this surgery and sorry for posting late but you are in my prayers for a successful outcome.  You have been through so much and I'm hoping this is a positive direction.

    happy for you

    So glad you are out of the hospital!  I'm so impressed by your aggressive recovery!  And so happy to hear you are doing so well!

    I try to be the same way.  Worked yesterday and the day before, one week after my laparotomy for the partial colectomy.  We gotta get up, get moving, and live our lives! Working makes me feel "normal."

    Enjoy the Propofol  athesia

    Enjoy the Propofol  athesia they give you.  That stuff is wonderful. Never slept so deep. Almost like your brain waves stop .  No wonder Micheal Jackson loved the stuff.  If i could get it, id be a Propofol Junkie.   Let us know how the surgery went.  Praying for you.  Dave.
