Hey Killers!!
I'm home!!! YAY!!! No more horrific hospital food!!! And guess what? I DON'T have to stay in bed until Monday!!! i am allowed to sit up in my chair, and to walk around. So I can use my laptop!!! Woohooo!!!!
Of course, my next question (which I asked and am waiting for a call back with the answer) was, "can I go to my aunt's funeral?" I mean, it involves sitting in a car, sitting in a chair, and a little bit of walking and standing. I really really really want to go. So we'll see what the good doctor says...
Surgery was a breeze. i remember seeing 7:45 am, and they put a mask on me and told me to take deep breaths. I was chatting to the doc, and started feeling woozy. I asked if he gave me something and he winked at me.

So I said, "well, i should say goodbye then! See ya!" Next thing I knew it was about 9:00 and it was all over! I was in recovery forever--they had to wait for a bed. Got to my room about 2. I'd had pain in recovery, but by 2 it was gone, and I've been fine ever since. I have a HUGE dressing over my whole abdomen, it's like body armor or something!

And it says, in big letters, "DO NOT TOUCH DRESSING" I guess they wanted to be sure the message got through! The doctor said it went great, and he'll see me Monday for the "unveiling". I can hardly wait. And then, last night on Grays Anatomy, they did a skin graft!! So I got to see sort of what they did to me, which was way cool. The residents laughed--they all watched it too!!
Anyway, I'm thrilled to be home. Thanks for all of your good wishes and your cheers for DMom. She does ROCK! Best mom ever!
lighttech, that cake ROCKS!!! Absolutely amazing. I can't believe the talent of you all on here! Master Gardners, cake decorators, sheesh! I think my talent must be recovering from surgery. Or is that a hobby?
Later killers!!!
BTW,

to all of you too!! I love my killers!!!
