Great news Jayne! Thanks for being there for Sarah. A true friend indeed. I'm guessing Sarah will probably be out for most of the day. We're awaiting to hear more new.

P.S. Don't let Danielle get wind of your absence. You know how worried she gets.

Tolerable pain right now...

But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained

Wow!  Congratulations, Sarah!   On both your very successful procedure, and on finding something that could lure those two into a visit and even posing for a photo!

April 19th - post op report

Thank all who have taken time to congratulate and comment on these incredible few days.

Last I remember is my bed being pulled through a door to the OR. Then I remember waking up and wondering why they woke me up... Well, they were already done. 3 hours on the OR table. I stayed for two nights in a local hospital and have been discharged since. Now I am in a hotel close by. I could not lay in bed anymore, I had to get up and walk around. The pain is well controlled and absolutely tolerable.  I am very tired and could constantly sleep, but that is expected. Some light bleeding but nothing to be worried about. One of the nurses took a picture of it... Now I have proof.

Jayne and my family are here to help out in an incredible way. Getting in and out of cars or the bed/chairs is an amusing experience, but I can say that all the strength training I did beforehand comes in very handy.

I am already walking quite a bit, but I also know that I need to catch some sleep...

More later... Oh and here are two more pictures... Me about to be discharged..



And of course, I did get some sweet "It's a girl" balloons. Thank you @Jayne01 !

@sarah1972
Dear Sarah:
I am so glad to see the updates that describe your special days and special procedures at the hospital.
Thank you for feeling free to share so freely with all of your readers and followers. 
.... and.... your HAPPY PICTURE that you posted on your last comments is a picture of a beautiful and very happy woman.

As with most of the members here on the Forums, I have been closely following your "transformation" over the last year or more and I am rooting for your success and happiness in your life as you continue on.

I am very envious of @Jayne01  and  @Faith that they were able to be with you during your "special" days.   I am most certain that you much appreciated their in-person support.   

Of course Jayne gets a special prize for coming all the way from Australia to be with you!!!!!... and thank you Jayne for keeping us updated during the times that Sarah was not able to post on her thread.


Many HUGS and best wishes as always,
Danielle

5 days!!!

Wow, it has been five days already since I had GRS... Amazing how fast time flew. I am still down in NC, spending most of the time on a couch with ice packs. They have helped to keep swelling down but. am still pretty bruised up and there is all this healing sensation which can get quite overwhelming at times. I need to watch my hydration and it is easy to just stay on the couch all day, but a girl has to also care for herself.

Thanks, I have my dear @Jayne01 around to keep me moving and motivated. 2 more days until I can start E back up and 3 more days before I get the packing removed and meet "my 3 new friends" for the first time.

All I can say is that there is a lot of new and interesting sensation going on down there... ;D ;D ;D

So much for now...

Hugs,

Sarah
