    I'm so glad your surgery is behind you. Now just sleep as much as you can and feel better. Those drugs make us feel so groggy. I felt like my brain was mush!!! Tomorrow is a new day!!!

    I had my surgery on 8/1 and was discharged on 8/3. I've been home recouping and have been working with home health a week later than discharge. I am so glad it is over and am praying for the ones still having surgery in August and September.

    I sure hope things go well for you. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes being put to sleep. I think we are in so much in control of what we do or how we live, it is hard to let someone else have control!! I sure hope you get to take that trip to Europe. You will be able to...

    I live such a busy life with still working fulltime, raising my children, running my home and enjoying our grandchildren. I cannot do anything like taking a walk or go to the grocery or even mop my floors. I only have so much walk in this leg and then it hurts so bad and feels so frazzled so I...
