I am home! Hernia surgery went well, they did not have to do the big incsion, just 8 small ones, but there was alot of repair work, so I am quite sore. my entire abdomen was meshed and I have to wear a binder for 6 weeks. it almost lookd like I got a tummy tuck out of the deal, I am still swollen, but there is defitinly not as much girth as there was before. I am glad to be home, as you all know you cannot get any rest in a hospital, they are coming in all hours to take your temp yur blood pressure and all that stuff. So please say a little prayer that I am done with surgery for a long long time.
Thank you for all your kind words and support, it truly helped!!
Hugs to all,
Kathy

YEA!!!!! HOME!!!!!!
Take good care of yourself, dearheart!!!
(Tummy tuck, huh?....maybe I could....nah, I'm an old lady, it doesn't matter...ROFL!)
My beau, as you know, is a doctor. When HE has an overnight stay (or more) in the hospital, he puts on his best "doctor" voice and says "You have me hooked up to telemetry so you can monitor my vitals from your nurses station. I have never heard of taking a patient's weight (yes, at 2am) being an emergency. Please do not wake me thru the night unless I am dying. And, even then, consider whether it's worth it!" (I'm always staying with him, so I can pretty much say this word for word along with him). It works...usually he is not disturbed between 11pm and 5am when the shift changes!

Welcome home!
Now the rest and recuperation can begin.
Suggestions from a "been there, done that" is to maintain your pain meds whether or not you think you need them. The recovery from this surgery is notoriously painful, and lasts a while. I was still getting stabbing pains around those 8 incisions where the mesh is stitched down 5 months post-op. However, overall, I feel great, and am doing everything now.
Here's hoping that surgery is done forever! You've been through enough. Time to breathe freely again.

Hi Kathy,
I am glad your
Hi Kathy,
I am glad your home there is no better feeling than getting back into your own bed after a stay in the hospital. I left after only 4 days (abdominal perineal resection w/ perm colostomy) I couldnt take it and begged to get out of there. I am sending you some positive mojo and adding you to my prayer list.
