Surgery was yesterday. I ended up having to stay overnight because my insurance company insisted, but that's ok. If I had only been able to sleep...nurses in and out of my room all night...IV pump going off all night...such fun. I'm home now, and going to bed as soon as I finish here.
The surgery went well. I'm really swollen, and pretty sore, but honestly I expected to feel worse. I do have good meds though, if I need them. The hardest part is the cotton mouth from the anesthesia...and I can only have 6 oz of water at a time, so I don't feel like I'm ever getting rid of the dry. I guess that will pass.
My friend Margaret's surgery went well too, although she was much later in the day and still hasn't been able to have any water or juice. I saw her at 4 this morning when I was making my lap around the nurses' station, and she came to my room this morning before I left. She looks great and was moving really well, so that was nice to see. (That's Margaret and me at our work Christmas party in December.)
I'm going to bed now...I think I've been sitting at this little machine too long!

So glad it went well! Continued prayers...
