Hi, I had surgery on Tuesday, 4/23/02. I'm posting from 'the other side' and can hardly believe it! All went well. I don't remember a whole lot from the first day, because of the morphine. Day 2 in hospital, ouch. Incision is sore when trying to lift myself out of bed, but the morphine and teradol helps. Then I started roxicet (spelling?) on Wednesday night and have a prescription. I definitely slept well at home last night...it just hurts to get up and out of bed...but that will become easier with time. Thanks to everyone for their well-wishes, I'll keep you all posted on my progress! Thanks again. KG :-)
