surgery yesterday, Dr. Max Hammer, Memorial Hospital, Springfield, Illinois - amazing man, amazing surgeon, amazing surgical team.  I love them all.  I am resting, comfortably, in my beautiful bedroom - got a bed tray for my lap top and knitting books, baskets of yarn, box of kleenex, a dog or two, surround me - everything is peaceful and sweet.......hubby has been cooking for me and bringing my meals.  I can do the stairs easily ( we live in a restored Victorian and have lots of stairs!) and get to visit the first floor when I need a change........No pain meds needed, just taking aleve for inflammation and an anti-hystamine in hopes of reducing the adhesions rabid hystamine response to the surgical trauma.

BTW, Max Hammer is such an angel that he kept the trocar points in places where I can heal easily without my new jeans rubbing on the wound.  Ha Ha!  He has a beloved wife and knows how much we woman love our clothes.  I told him that waistline points were ok, but be off by just a 1/4 inch or two so that my flabby belly roll wouldn't impede healing and that the new fashions were below the waist by a few inches - if he could go in between those two important points I would appreciate it.  He is an angel.  The trocar points are perfectly located - first for his needs as a surgeon, and second as my needs for being a girly-girl fashionista.

Life is good.
