Well it's official, it's done. The surgery went well. One of the OR nurses who was waking me up said, "Oh you're going to do extremely well with this, I can see it. Everyone does well but you're going to just be amazing!"
Was she just being nice or did she really see something in me? I hope for the latter.
So far I don't feel much of anything. There's a lot of tenderness around the center of my belly where the biggest incisions were. Feels kind of like a stack of bricks. I'm told that's the gas but who knows.
They called two enormous guys to take me up to my room. It was kind of funny. I called them Muscles. The whole way up they were razzing each other and being silly. I almost felt like I was watching an episode of sirens.
When we got up here Michael still wasn't here. Six or more people had told me by then they would let him know where I was. I really just wanted to see him. A lot.
Then when he did show up it was such a relief. I started crying right after that. I had a moment of panic wondering if I'd be able to do all of this. Feeling scared that this will be just another big failure in my struggle with weight loss. I certainly hope not and Michael was able to make me feel better but wow, what a wave of emotions!
So now we just wait. We are sitting ducks in the pond of life. But as far as ponds go, this one isn't too bad. At least there are people bringing me regular pain meds here. And we have a private shower and toilet.
Nan came to visit tonight, that was nice. She brought me a beautiful double walled mug that says, "You make my heart happy" on the side. It was good to have her here, lots of good conversation and keeping my mind free of boredom. Mom, Dad & Charlie cane after his game too. He ran around all the bases and our team won their last game!! Go figure, one of the two games I miss and we win!
