brief update

Things went well. Surgery started at 3pm, I woke up in recovery at 7:30 and I was home in bed by 9pm. Really insane when you stop and think about how quick. My dad said I've probably got a boot mark on my ass from the hospital kicking me out the door. It did feel rather rushed. I dry heaved in the bathroom while trying to pee before I was discharged. The nurse stuck an alcohol swab on my nose and handed me an emisis basin for the ride home. I heaved again at home a couple of times and then it passed. Sleep was hard the first night. I had terrible pains in my shoulder from the gas they used to blow up my belly. But it's gone now and last night I slept much better. I think the toughest thing so far has been Minna! She is so confused about why mommy can't pick her up or cuddle with her. This morning she tried to sneak back in the house to stay with me, hoping Jason wouldn't notice. It broke my heart.

I'm tired, but feeling way better today than yesterday. I look forward to tomorrow. More soon...
