Thank you everyone - for the well wishes!

[Solly Mack]

30 hour hospital stay and I'm home again. Surgery went well. I can remember when you stayed much longer for a hysterectomy. So here's to the advances in medicine and the well wishes of good people!

(and the happy pills didn't hurt either)

[ikojo]

1. I hope your at home recovery goes well

[Solly Mack]

5. best wishes....30 hours is way too long is a hospital

[Solly Mack]

8. It is! I started begging to come home as soon as I woke up in the recovery room

and then after the blood catheter fiasco after I was in my room (nurse was starting a new IV line), I was determined to get discharged as quickly as possible. Blood everywhere - puddled on the bed and the floor. Needless to say I didn't get that last IV (fluids).

They were only going to keep me 2 days anyway and then only if they had to make a bigger incision, but they didn't have to...so

[spanone]

35. damn....take good care

[malaise]

9. Welcome home

Get some rest. :grouphug:

[Solly Mack]

11. Thanks, malaise

Oh, I plan to be as lazy as lazy can be for the next week.

[marmar]

10. Get well soon, Solly....

.... and keep chugging those happy pills if they make it easier for you to keep posting on DU! :) :silly:

[Solly Mack]

12. I tried tuning in to DU when I first got home - but I couldn't focus...so I took a nap. lol

and bless the happy pills. :)

[havocmom]

13. Glad you are home, but pace yourself!

It's still a pretty major surgery! Do you have some adult supervision ;) or at least a dependable go-for?

Speedy recovery to one great DUer!

[Solly Mack]

15. LOL! Sorta - on the *adult * supervision.

I'm gonna be lazy and nap and lounge as much as possible. Well, until I can't take it anymore

[H2O Man]

14. Hello!

Hope that you are doing well.

[Solly Mack]

17. Hey you! Glad to see you ...ah...out and about. :)

I'm doing OK right now. Course, tomorrow may bring new aches and pains. (I've been told it will)

16. Way to escape from the hospital!

Welcome home, Solly Mack! :hi:

[Solly Mack]

18. LOL! Thanks, danagsk8!

I felt 100 times better after a nap in my own bed!

[peekaloo]

20. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

:hi:

and to paraphrase Casey Kasem (sp) "keep your feet up and keep reaching for those happy pills".

[Solly Mack]

23. Thanks, peekaloo!

lol Good old Casey Kasem!

[flashl]

21. Welcome back and get well soon. nt

[Solly Mack]

24. Thanks, flashl

:)

[uppityperson]

22. Glad you are well and home again.

take it easy, no lifting, keep taking pain pills, lay back and relax.

[Solly Mack]

25. Will do! Thanks, uppity!

[MiniMe]

26. Glad to hear everything went well for you

Take it easy and don't lift anything. It will take you some time to heal, and you will heal faster if you don't push it too soon. :hug:

[Solly Mack]

27. Hey, MiniMe. Thanks! I'm being good.

Got my MIL coming in a few days to help out. My eegit has been great...he's taking good care of me.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

28. heal up--and best wishes!

[Solly Mack]

30. Thanks, dmsRoar

I've been off taking another nap. I feel so lazy.

[calimary]

29. It's always nicer to continue the recovery at home.

Glad you're there!

Congratulations on a successful operation!!!

Now get better soon. We need you!!!

:patriot:

[Solly Mack]

31. Hey calimary ! Thanks!

I felt immediately better once in my own house and in my own bed. Been napping on and off all day.

[calimary]

34. Makes a HUGE difference when you're in your own comfort zone - literally as well as

figuratively. Glad you're there in yours again! You get better now, you hear? That's not a request. That's an order. We need you!

[countryjake]

32. I didn't know...

Glad you're home to heal and happy that everything came out okay!

Take it easy now and good wishes for a speedy recovery!

[Solly Mack]

36. Thanks, countryjake!!

I'm being lazy...and it's driving me bonkers. :)

[G_j]

33. wow, glad you're home!

be good to yourself,
:hi:

[Solly Mack]

37. Thanks, G_j!

I got lucky on the procedure. Europe is BIG on lap. surgery and would rather not cut more than is needed....and US doctors who work here follow along with that thinking. Course, it helped that once they looked around, I had little scar tissue.

Also, was very fortunate to have the insurance to cover the more expensive surgery. I'm grateful is what I'm getting at...

now if the final biopsy comes back clean...I'll know in 6 days

[G_j]

38. good thoughts winging your way!

thanks for keeping us in the loop!
