...not quite in the saddle just yet. But I cannot describe to you how WELL I feel. I just had my hysterectomy yesterday morning and I arrived home today at 3 this afternoon. I have some aches and a bit of cramping, both from the gas they put into my abdominal cavity. I am walking slowly and surprisingly upright. I feel a bit light-headed from the medications (which my doctor INSISTS that I take for the next few days) but I have no pain and I am quite alert which is another surprise given how low my tolerance for narcotics have been in the past.
My surgery was done laproscopicly and I have four incisions that are approximately one inch each. I am so thankful that Dr. Bryant was able to do the hysterectomy this way. She said my ovaries looked beautiful and seem to have at least 20 more years of life which was another relief because that means NO HORMONE REPLACEMENT!!!
SO I just wanted to give a quick update - I promised to rest and walk slow for the next few weeks. I also promised not to lift, drive or do housework (how hard is that gonna be?). Brad is home for a week with me so he gets all the fun jobs - everyone I know knows he's better at them anyway.
Talk again soon!

Bubble Boy
How can I stand it? He's absolutely precious. He reminds me of his mommy so much. What a gorgeous grin.
