The level of determination in you GRS gals is just amazing.  Hours out of surgery, groggy, and posting what's going on!  I for one appreciate seeing GRS from your point of view.  It's over a year away for me, but this helps prep me better than any video or class the HMO wants to give me.  (A friend just went to our HMO's class...  Oy...)

Congratulations, and I hope you have a swift and uneventful recovery!

An upcoming (major) event is when they take the packing out, and you can touch down there.  It's something my fingers will never forget.
What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it.

I haven't used any pain killer since yesterday afternoon which is fantastic and passing tons of gas.  The drainage is less and everything is looking god so all in all apparently I'm doing well. Hugs

Very true, I'II never forget it, a very surreal moment when I saw my new girl equipment the very first time and that was 30 years ago, it only gets better Mariah as it heals.
If your going thru hell, just keep going.

I try to not use pain meds when I don't need too due to my kidney's so I have to be in pretty good amount of pain to use them. Hugs

swelling is minimal and drainage is too and they are bit surprised by no bruising. Seems my main discomfort is the tug of catheter. In many ways I will be glad when it is time for the catheter to come out. Hugs

Couple things I can't say strong enough. Ice is your friend through this and listen to your body as to how much you can and can't do. Ice is probably the reason I have been able to avoid pain killers as much as I have. Hugs
