Bye bye turtle shells...

I know I'm late at posting this but my surgery went really well and I would be recovering faster if I'd stop over doing it every other day.

The day before my surgery I found out that my report time was 5:30a.m.!  Needless to say I didn't sleep well the night before and my driving habits on the way to the VA almost gave Darin a heart attack.  Everything was going well and I was ready for surgery.  Anesthesia came in and said she was going to start my IV...no big deal I was young and had good veins.  Well she didn't know where they were because by the time they wheeled me in for surgery I had four IV's and she still wasn't happy any of them.

Surgery went as planned and after a little recovery time in post-op I was sent home.  I have to say I really don't remember much of the ride home or most of the evening for that matter.     

However, fast forward three weeks later and I am recovering nicely.  I went in for my check up and Dr. L says everything is healing as planned and she doesn't need to see me again till April 12, 2013.

My bed is still a construction zone and I'm really getting tired of wearing a sports bra 24/7 but all in all I'm doing really good.  I'm really happy to no longer have the turtle shells!

I wanted to get this posted but I will continue to update more in the next few days.
