Hello EPers--I'm home!

The surgery went very well, and I feel much better than I had thought I would. I've still got a morphine pain pump installed, so part of that might be the drugs talking, but I'm feeling all right either way. The only uncomfortable part is the surgical drains, and those should come out on Thursday. The scars shouldn't be too bad and I hope to be able to get the permanent implants installed in about 6 weeks.

My fiance has been absolutely incredible through all of this, as have my family and friends. Overall, I feel very blessed.

The downside is that I can't do any vigorous exercise or train with weights until basically November (six weeks after the second surgery) so I'm REALLY going to have to watch what I eat. Thankfully I have my EP friends to work with on that!

Have a great Sunday night--
Jen

So Glad!!!

To hear you're doing well! Sounds like you have a wonderful support network there for you. Even if it is the morphine talking, I'm glad the pain isn't too bad. November will come quicker than you think, and you'll be back out there running before you know it. Maybe you can do some walking in the meantime to keep your muscles fit. And of course we'll all be here in your computer for food support. :)

lots of hugs

Welcome home

Take care of yourself in the coming weeks!!! Glad you're home and able to report back, I was thinking about you!
