I am glad it went well and hope every day you get a little stronger! Thank you for posting so soon -- it's amazing!
 
Dan,

Welcome to this side of the mountain. Don't worry about the bad parts - you will forget them very quickly, especially if you take the pain meds.;):D;)

Take care and get lots of rest.
 
welcome to this side of the mountain, Dan. Knew you'd be up-an'-at-it soon, you are young and otherwise healthy. I can't remember any of the tubes, they kept me out for 2 whole days . . or maybe it was just the meds, as someone suggested :D Anyway, the thing todo now is walk as much as you can, drink a lot (get the junk out of your system) and sleep and eat.
 
Dan, you should be feeling the worst you are going to feel right now. Just keep the drugs flowing and little by little, everyday, you will start to feel better.
 
Hey Dan.. great to hear from you!! Glad it all went well and you're doing OK enough to post updates already!! Hope the rest of your recovery goes nice and easy and you are back home soon.


A : )

Dan,

EXCELLENT! Glad to see you posting again!

Thoughts/prayers coming your way for a continued SUCCESSFUL recovery :).

Hey, Dan. Glad to see you on the good side of the mountain and that you are actually posting already. We were waiting to hear from you. Sounds like all went very well for you. (just remember, don't sneeze if you can help it - it really hurts). Just take things easy and follow orders from your medical staff and you'll be fine. Thanks for checking in so soon. Blessins.....
 
I just got home a couple of hours ago diddnt film any videos in hospital... diddnt want to be disrespectful or summin... anyway, im feeling a LOT better, I can even open fridges :p
I ll make some videos and post some more notes later today and tomoorrow, the after feeling though - the mega relief is amazing!!!

Stay tuned for stories about being spaced out on morphine, pain, and strippers :p
 
Well obviously you've got more residual strength than I had! I could not open the fridge at first and then started laughing so hard about it that everything started to hurt!!

You sound great! Good job!!! I think attitude has so very much to do with everything!

Now don't be pushy with yourself. Take it slower than you feel you should for awhile. Give everything a chance to reacquaint itself inside you. The euphoria will pass and you may begin to feel impatient. Be wise.

Congratulations!

Marguerite
