Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Howdy all! I am home, stiched and stapled from my breasts to my belly buttom, but feeling pretty good. As for my fears, like I told the doctor, wake me up, I will do the rest. Before I woke up fully, well....Soneone slapped something in my had ask kept telling me to push the button, Push the Button!. Wanting to be a good paient, I did, a few too many times. But after they figured out that I don't do buttons well (I was just trying to be good, really..lol), everything has been fine. In fact, much MUCH less pain than I thought there would be. Coughing and laughing have been interesting, and as a recent non smoker, my guess is the breathing tube broke up some nasty stuff in my lungs, and after one big fit of coughing (Now that HURT!) I got up some old stuff, and since, I have had good sats, and recover from a bout of breathlessness quickly. I think there is going to be a bunch more of these little discoveries that many might not chalk up to life altering changes. This whole surgery has been eye opening in so many ways. boogie 12/17/03 open lap 376/I can BREATHE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Boogie, amazing how much this surgery changes things, little things become so important, and my self-esteem is higher than ever.
