Made it through!

Well, I made it through the surgery! It was so easy- a lot easier than I expected. We got there at 1:30 for preop, but had to wait until 6:00 to have the actual surgery because the surgery before me had complications. I was SO hungry and had a huge migraine because I wasn't allowed any food or water. When 6:00 finally rolled around the surgeon's nurse came in, gave me a shot in the tummy to help prevent clots (since I have a clotting disorder). Then the anesthesiologist came in and gave me some anti-anxiety stuff. I said bye to Stephen and Hope and that's all I remember! Next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery with 4 little incisions in my tummy. They put a breathing tube in during the surgery, so it's been really hard to swallow, and my throat hurts a little. Also, my abdomen is really sore, like I just did 1,000 sit-ups. I am also really sleepy from the anesthesia. But other than that I feel really good. It is so much easier than my c-section recovery was! I am not allowed to lift anything over 15 pounds for 6 weeks, and I am on Darvoset for the pain. Thanks for all your prayers! They really helped! Now we can move on with our lives-I'm so tired of feeling bad!
