Hi everone,
A few weeks back I emailed about my upcoming hernia surgery....well, tomorrow is the day. I don't know why, after all my surgeries, I feel so nervous for this. I'm scheduled for 8:30 tomorrow morning and should hopefully be home Saturday afternoon. My Dr. advised that he keeps everyone over at least 1 night. uggghh.
Anyway, thanks for your kind words for those of you who replied a few weeks back.
DeAnna

Good luck - should be minor after what you've been through before!

Well, I'm finally home. I got home around Noon today. I knew I had a bad feeling for a reason. The hernia was about the size of a an orange - so much more work then they anticipated. I was so nascous (sp?)that I actually didn't get any fluids until Sunday afternoon and finally ate solids yesterday. I had to come home with the drianage tube - first time I ever had to do that. Thanks for your thoughs and pm's!
