Thumbs up

Hey Loves,
Surgery is over! It's not so bad. I woke up with a little pain so they gave me vicadin and that makes me nauseous so they gave me compazine. Then I was so doped up I couldn't hold my eyes open so I got them to let me out and I came home and slept it off with ativan. Woke up this morning feeling great. Just a little sore, like I've done about a million push ups. Just taking Tylenol and probably more ativan for the night. Once I get these drains out I'll be feeling much better.
I'm just so glad it's over.
Thanking you all, again for your help and support.
Love, C
