Kimberly Eisenhut Thank you everyone. Definitely good hours and not so good ones, but figuring out right med routine is tricky. I'll be going home later today.

Pamela Gregory You made it Kimberly! Definitely stay ahead of the pain. My husband and daughter would write the time down and start bugging them about 15-20 mins before time so that it didn't get too long. One time it was too long and the only time I remember being in distress. After that we were on it. You are doing great and soooooo happy to see you on the other side

Ana Brusso You look beautiful. Congratulations! Continued good health and God bless you 🙏❤️

Kate Watson Yay there she is! Definitely true what others have said is to try to make sure to stay ahead of the pain and don’t hesitate to bug the nurses if your pain isn’t well controlled. They can always give you something else and adjust dosing as needed. Iv Fentanyl worked the best for me fyi.

Adam Pick Woo-Hoooo!!!!! Congrats Kim!!!!

Dawn Becker She's doing better today!!! :) Her mom is now staying with her in the hospital.

Susan Lynn You did it, Kimberly! Looking fabulous!

Michael John Smith Congratulations! All the best to you and your family Kimberly all the way from Slovenia.

Robert Miller My medical team said don't try to be a hero and suffer pain. They said we won't give you meds unless you need it but ask if you need them. Nobody will judge you. I actually didn't have to take them beyond the one day when they give it to you without asking. But really, take them if you think it makes it easier for you. My biggest pain was from a stiff back and neck after surgery. My mom gave me those cherry pillows they made like 50 years ago so you are warm when going to bed in winter. Those actually helped for stiff necks, backs, etc.

Aaron Bader You are in such great hands at Northwestern! The best. The best. I was checked in and checked on every day - by Dr. Malaisrie himself, by his fellow surgeons, by his PAs - someone was letting me know how I was doing and motivating me every day. The nurses throughout, but in the CTICU in particular, are incredible. I'm glad I practiced remembering all their names so I could and can properly thank them. Next level - that's the best way I can describe how good Northwestern has been to me.

I hope you have your walking socks ready to go too! You'll be up and in motion very quickly, which feels wonderful.

Kimberly Eisenhut Thank you all so much!

Janet Gaffney Go get ‘em! You’re in GREAT hands!

Sue Maize Oh Kimberly, I have not been on here in a very long time, so I’m so happy I didn’t miss the chance to post a message to you before your surgery! I pray all goes well tmrw and knowing a little about Dr. Malaisrie’s reputation, I’d say you re in excellent hands for this. I’m so glad you don’t have to wait any longer, you’ve really been patient in the “waiting room”. Rest and relax as much as you can, there’s nothing more for you to do except that and I look forward to getting an update when you’re up to it. Praying for you! 🙏🏻❤️

George Gardopee Kimberly - good luck tomorrow. I’ll bet you find that after the years of anticipation and fear you have experienced, the relief you will feel when you wake up and you realize it is behind you will be astonishing. I think for most of us the recovery, although frustrating at times, is not nearly as bad as we imagined. The very capable and professional staff at these excellent surgical centers are very, very good at keeping you comfortable. We are all looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Richard Munson Kim, they are beautiful. My daughters dog is luna. They bring so much joy to our lives. Although the last week shadow is a little out of control so hopefully he calms down a bit. The 5 month old blues. Just weighed in at 44 pounds. What happed to that little 10 pounder we brought home in may.

They look like stuffed animals, so cute.

Kimberly, thank you for your prayers and well wishes. No pets yet, but we have been discussing that after surgery we might adopt a couple of dogs and maybe also a cat. We had a wonderful dog over 30 years ago and the loss was too hard and was afraid to have another one. Will post as soon as I am able. God bless you
