Whew! I finally made it home from the hospital. What an ordeal....I mean, I'm sure it's all going to be worthwhile, but it sure wasn't easy. Thanks Joanne for your support!! I just wanted to let everyone know that I had my surgery 5 days ago, on the 17th, and I'm doing fine and was released from the hospital this morning! Take care all you "new" post-ops! I'll check back in soon.
