Re: day 9 post-op / Dr. Gagner

[Guest guest]

Congratulations, Lenny

Would you mind sharing your age? It sounds like you were pretty young since

you had such an easy recovery. I am 45 , have had one c-section and of

course trying to figure out just how bad it's going to be. And also

concentrating on just how great it's going to be after all.

B est of luck!

Lenny, I am so glad that you are doing so good. That is exactly how

I was to feel after I have had my surgery--like it was the best

decision I ever made in my life. Did you ever believe that it would

take an hour to eat 1 single little poached egg?..lol Keep us posted

on your progress. Take good care.
