Not exactly a piece of cake but 3 days post op and feeling better. Worst part for me was the nausea
Congratulations and welcome to recovery! I hope you will feel a little stronger day by day. I fought nausea for quite awhile, even after release. I guess from one of the meds. I hope they're medicating you for it. I'd recognize that gown anywhere. I'm a CC alum, too. :)
Beautiful, Vicki! Great job! You did it! Welcome to the recovery club.
Looking good! Those first few days are definitely the worst. Welcome to the other side!

I guess that's my name on "the list." Gulp.
Getting real now! Before you know it, you'll be on the other side of this and on your way to recovery. Hang in there! Do something fun to take your mind off of it all.
The countdown begins, Vicki. Our prayers and best wishes will be with you and your family as you go through this life changing procedure.
Getting on list list kind of brings it home. Best wishes and please keep us posted.
Thank you Phyllis, Mark and Rose. I'm trying to keep my big girl pants on.
