I went home within an hour and had no problems. I wore a girdle like band around my waist for nearly three weeks (until yesterday). Since you are not supposed to bend over too much I wish I had thought of cutting my toenails. For the first five days I had a bit of trouble finding a comfortable position in my recliner because I was very conscious of the implant and staples. I found walking around the neighborhood the most comfortable thing to do. If you don't have one, get a detachable shower head and you can keep reasonably clean without taking a full shower.

FINALLY some CIVILIZED discussion!!!
I swear I don't know ANY of these people!!! All I know is that I woke up yesterday, logged on, and there were all these drunken hobo's fighting over an empty rum bottle!!

Now i forgot what i was gonna say
it actually WAS intelligent!

I'll think of it and return.....

OK! ....omg, my kids probably think I have completely lost my mind...locked away in my room giggling and laughing at this 15" piece of the universal connection to eternity and beyond...

Thanks for the great belly laughs guys. Man

INTELLIGENT INfO: you probably already know this, but i do recall how frustrating it was trying to comprehend the POST-OP instructions, whilst i was pleasantly still in my 'twilight daze' and blissfully seeing fat BumbleBees Buzzing happily in the shade.....

Get CLEAR instructions of the POST op PRIOR to going IN to the procedure!!

Post Op instructions understood by one with clear mind a must....... but Rae? Are your feet really 15" long?

Hasn't my vengence tactics EVEN begun to intimidate you YET!!!

Feelin my oats, maybe after my namesake!

Well, if Mark is feelin his 'Oats' (that sounds like it'd make a wonderful double-entendre for my favorite comedian! He'd have a great time with this!)......
I bet it's because his special ANNIVERSARY IS right around the corner!!!
Yeahh! So happy for you Mark! You and Cleo have been thru plenty, so make this one count man!!!

And FIONA's special day is at hand as well!
Just wanted to send you all my , well-wishes, and all that other good jazz....maybe with a couple of Cuban Suppositories (as opposed to cigars) thrown in for good measure.
Hope you aren't getting too nervous! DON'T let THAT happen!
Good Lord you know you've got a great scope of people looking out for your well-being!
It's all gonna be roses!

Tomorrow is a very special day for both of you, so........
We'll do a 'chatroom jiggy' soon in honor

As Always
Rae

I wish you the very best. You might not even need that bottle of rum. If not, you can always make 'bananes flambees au rhum'... Oh, speaking of rum, don't forget to have some small bottles of water by you. See if you can arrange to have R2D2 by you...

Best of luck. You are in my prayers.

Another good thread to bump to the top!
