Update

Well, I guess all went well as I still have a pulse. Actually, I wasn't worried about that part. I do have to say that I wasn’t aware of the whole being intubated part or I may have had second thoughts. I was just as pathetically wussy about the IV as I was afraid I would be. I just remember waking up with the damn tube still crammed into the pie hole. Then I closed my eyes again, and poof, it was gone. Best nap I have ever had.

I have three small incisions in my belly. The polyp is gone as well as the fibroid (avoid the noid). The tubes however are so damaged and screwed up that they couldn’t be removed or cauterized with this surgery. That would require a more intrusive operation. Anyway, I’m working the hubster to death because he promised to wait on me hand and foot for these four days. He has made three fantastic meals… but I haven’t been all that hungry. He is making enchiladas tonight.

Other than that, I have had a reaction to the adhesive on the plastic bandages they put on the incisions so now I have these little itty blisters that itch like crazy. I also had a nasty reaction to the Vicodin last night which wasn’t pleasant. I’ve learned my lesson – never take two of them at a time. Other than that, I’m doing well.

And yay! I see that Shamus is home with his Catscape family and recovering. Give him some pettins from me!

Glad you're okay too,,, That's the same pain killer I take for my back; makes my nose itch like I just walked into a spider's web. I only take it when I have no choice and I hardly ever take two at a time as it knocks me out and I get dizzy.

The e-mail address you gave bounced back as undeliverable. :(
