Home already!!

Wow, that was fast! I'm home already.

Alien didn't have school today. There was a power failure last night that effected her school. So she came with me to the hospital. So glad she did, too. She did all the running around, and coordinating stuff for me while I was under the knife. Single Son had to be in court today ... so he just dropped us off - would pick us up afterwards. Poor thing, he had to work a double shift, go to court and play taxi to my happy ass. He's finally able to go to bed.

OMG!! What a laugh. Had to put on those support hose before surgery. The ones that go up to the tops of my thighs. Talk about a struggle. Alien and I laughed so hard It was like trying to fit a whale into a tuna can. But I did it!! And I have to leave 'em on the rest of the day? Good, 'cause I'm not looking forward to the struggle to get 'em back off. Gonna need poor Alien to pull 'em off me (hopefully without laughing, too).

Tired as hell now. Gonna crawl into bed shortly. Happy nappy time. Then off to get my pain meds prescription filled. I could have done it on the way home from the hospital, but decided to wait until later. Since the surgeon wants me up and walking later this evening anyway, thought I'd kill two birds with one stone, LOL.

So ... now I have a flatter belly. LOL! Finally really feel the weight loss - or maybe because the hernia's been fixed it's all in my head that I FEEL thinner. No more poofy belly - well, not exactly true, I still have a poof, but no where near as big as before. YIPPEE!!!

Love ya'll ...

Thank you to everyone who's sent private and public prayers and well wishes for tomorrow's surgery.

I have to be up early to head off to the hospital. Goddesses willing, it'll be outpatient surgery. Not sure how long I'll be there, but am planning on at least a quick check in with ya'll when I return home.

It's after midnight - no more drinking, eating, caffeine, nicotine, pain relief, sleep aids, or much of anything else allowed now. Talk about torture!! LOL! Gonna head off to bed. Fall my happy arse to sleep. I figure it'll be the best way to not think about going without all of life's essentials until after surgery.

This surgery will be my sixth surgery on my tummy for one reason or the other. I'm thinking of just asking the surgeon to zip me up with velcro. I'm sure that at some point I'll need to be re-opened again for more warranty work. Why not think ahead?? LOL!

Heck ... from the information I've seen about this surgery anyway ... they use mesh to fix the herniated muscle. Why not add more sewing notions? I'm game.

K ... I'll be back sometime tomorrow ... I'll catch up with ya'll as I can!! Love ya'lls!!
