Surgery Done!

Well, I had it done (finally) on the 27th and got back home Friday. I've had just a few woes but overall I know I'll trudge through it.

1. I've just had some abdominal pain (on the left side) which I understand is normal.
2. I've had what feels like major gas backup in my chest. It won't come up and it's quite painful when it cramps my chest about every 10 minutes. Not sure what this is about but I'll ask the doc.
3. The puree diet is killing me. Just the thought of shrimp in a blender makes me want to hurl - yes, I tried it and it's not pretty. I'm sticking to soup.
4. Chewable vitamins are RANCID. I actually gagged on them tonight.

But, those obstacles aside, surgery went well... no complications and I'm sure these too I will pass. It's just a test along the way.
