Thanks Eva for your kind words. Sending out cards is a good idea. I have done it in the past and always hear how they enjoy getting mail, so it would be good to do it again.

I'm battling with a lot more nausea and vomiting this evening which is not fun at all. But the first couple days after are always the worst, I know. I also have a large protruding swollen area over my leads incision, so I'm hoping it's just another seroma. Haven't been able to wear my abdominal binder yet which is supposed to help with swelling because it's been aggravating the nausea. But the hardest part's over and it's going to get better from here.
