I am home and doing fine...forgive me if thoughts are a little random here....it's the drugs.
My surgery got moved up at the last minute yesterday so we were at the hospital by 6:00 this morning. Nurse was able to get IV in on first try...good way to start the day. I was thrilled to have Beth (Carissa's friend) doing my anesthesia again...she is so sweet and funny and takes WONDERFUL care of me. Nurses were great. Surgery lasted about 1 1/2 hrs. Thankfully I don't remember much about recovery except saying I feel a little sick and that my lips were so dry.....no Elvis or other wacky characters were present in OR recovery. I had a really hard time waking up....I can remember the nurse commenting on that....got back in the room and took another nap and then it was time to pack up and hit the bumpy road home...ouch!! Bret does try but there is only so much you can do when driving in the city! I have beeen asleep all afternoon. The torture vest is still a torture vest....I swear doc puts me in a size 2...have you seen me???? Nothing on me has ever been a size 2! I will go back to see her early next week and will be able to switch to an underwire bra. I am pretty sore so I will take another pill soon and slip back into la-la land. Bret and Tyler are taking very good care of me....haven't seen Jillian yet, she is at tumbling with Bret and should be home soon.
Thanks for checking in and thanks for all the messages today of well wishes!! Surgery #10 is HISTORY! YEAH!

Jan: Glad to hear you are home and already recovering. Also glad your surgery was scheduled for yesterday instead of today or who knows how long it would have taken you to get home!
