Well- I made it. Surgery was Friday afternoon and I was awake in recovery around 4:00PM. The surgery itself was uneventful, but I'm soo glad that I got to stay overnight in the hospital. I definitely didn't feel good enough to have gone home the same day(God bless those who do). The hospital staff at Johns Hopkins Bayview was great, very attentive and supportive.
I came home yesterday afternoon- was pretty sore, but forced myself to walk every few hours. Had jello, broth & water yesterday, I'm going to try to broaden my menu today - hubby's coffee smells so good... My four year old has been great and is reveling playing Dr. & nurse.
I'll keep everyone posted on my slow going.

Congrats Linda! I knew you could do it! I moved to Texas from that area and lived in Columbia for over 6 years. Speedy recovery!
