2 days post op and doing GREAT!

[Guest guest]

Hello Dear Listers,

I'm 2 days post op and I feel WONDERFUL! As I've

already stated, I left the hospital 13 hours after

surgery. I am doing GREAT! I went shopping today,

then to a praise and worship service at Mack &

Timberlake's church in Creedmore, NC.

I was getting stir crazy hanging out here in the room,

so I got up and got out. The fresh air is what I

needed.

Gas is coming out of both ends... I felt I needed to

burp and burp I did as soon as I got out and started

moving around. No stinkies yet...

I have been taking sips of white grape juice and sips

of crane-grape juice. Both go down without any

problems. I've has a few teaspoons of jello and a few

cubes of watermelon. Today I tried a tiny bit of

applesauce.

I treated the PACU (recovery room) nurses sort of bad

when I got out of surgery. I couldn't tell you who

they are, I was in that grogy drugged state, but I

remember yelling for pain medication and trying to

turn on my stomach. So I went and picked them up a

gift and took it by the hospital. While en route, I

saw Dr. R... He was pleased to see me doing so well.

Anyway, all is well here in Durham. For those of you

who have called (and got the machine), I'm sorry... I

missed your calls.

Sincerely,

I'm praying that all of next week's dancers will dance

as easy as me!
