Home :)

I got home from the hospital late last night. I was given the option of staying an additional night or they could pull out my drainage tube and send me home after 7pm. I decided to come home, huh!

The first night (monday) after surgery I kept thinking "what did I do to myself? Oh God, this is horrible, what did I do?" but luckily by last night at 5pm I was feeling much better and was able to discontinue the morphine. Thank goodness too because I HATE morphine. It makes me sick. Surgery went well. Dr. Bowers and Pfluker both said they couldn't have asked for a better surgery. No stitches even, only dermabond on my 4 incision sites. They're about 3 inches long each and are all meant to be removed when I get my tummy tuck. My surgeons were very nice and actually had a great bedside manner.

Mom came to town for my surgery and got to know Craig a little while I was getting sliced open. Score! They got along great. Even though Craig hates hospitals, he stuck with me all day and night while I was at the hospital, as did my mom. They've really been great to me and I can't ask for more.

Returning to food has been easier than I thought it would be. Today I've had cream of wheat, mashed potatoes and a peach/pear smoothie. Tomorrow I'm going to try blenderized mac and cheese! Ewww! yummy? Guess we'll see.
