Day 1320 again - I am HOME!
Greetings, Family and Friends -
I am home, and Charlie is busy fixing up an ice pack for me. Thanks, Charlie and the family and friends who came to the hospital to see me in the 'early admissions' unit. I even had a room, which was more like a cubicle with a drape than an actual room, but it was nice.
My surgery was at 8, and the last thing I remember about that is seeing a TV monitor start to 'swim', and then I was out. I feel pretty good, no nausea and not too much pain yet. The surgery went as expected, and took between and hour and an hour and a half.
I have several black and blues from technicians trying to find a good vein in my hand or wrist rather than using the PERFECT vein in the crook of my arm. They ended up having to put the IV there anyway after multiple failed attempts. The 'lead' technician quipped 'Any port in a storm' when they decide to go with the crook in my arm.
I started to wake up around 10:30, and was released at 1:30.
I'm going to rest now! Love you bye!

Hi Karen, How happy we all are that you are home and feeling well enough to type on the blog, and reassure us following today's surgery. I actually didn't feel much relief until I heard your voice later this afternoon! And thanks so much to Charlie for calling around noon to let me know that your surgery was over and had gone as well as it did. I wish I could have been there but grateful to Charlie and his family for being close by in the waiting room and grateful to Charlie for all of his tender loving care. I'll be visiting soon!
