I had my surgery on an outpatient basis at St. Agnes in Baltimore on 8/6. i was discharged later that afternoon, about 6:30 p.m. I have been sleeping very well--in face slept about 9 hours last night. I'm using the guest room, because my dog who sleeps with us, might jump on me in the middle of the night when he wants to take his stroll. I've been drinking boullion, coffee, and water. Mick's getting me some diet popsicles since I had been using frozen Italian ice, but it has calories. My chest is kind of stiff, so when I change positions, I feel pain, but the dilaudid is helping--I'm trying to just take 1, not 2, every 4-6 hours. All in all, I think I'm progressing pretty good! Paula (P.S. Dr. Averbach was wonderful!)

Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!
