Just a quick note as still not up to sitting at the computer.  I am doing well, recovery is a slow painful process but I am managing well.

Surgery went very well, I was in about 3 hours longer than they orginally thought I would be due to some minor complications.  I ended up having to be transfused as well.  I went to the floor after surgery but then sometime during the night was transferred down to ICU because they were having problems with my blood pressure.  Spent a couple days down there and then back to the floor.    I have been home a week now, taking it one day at a time.

Not used to sitting and doing nothing so bored already :)

I have an incision from my pubic bone to my breast bone, so will take a long time to heal.

Yesterday I was able to go off the liquid diet and started a soft diet.  I will be on that for 2 to 3 weeks before I can slowly start introducing food into my diet one at a time.

On a great note though, it is over and I am healing well and the surgery was a complete success, so only better days ahead.

Also my son and his family are coming to see me on the 26th for about 10 days…..woohoo

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and prayers.  I felt totally surrounded by love.

I will post again as soon as able to sit longer.
