I'm Back - Sort Of

Any shorter and that would have been an outpatient procedure. Wow.

From leaving home on Wednesday morning to walking back in on Thursday afternoon was 35 hours. Only 35 hours.

That included all the pre-op stuff and then entering the operating room at around 8:00 am. Into my hospital room at around noon. Then it was just check my vitals, make sure I am in some semblance of healing. I was out of bed by 7:00 pm. It was then a long night with little sleep- I probably had too much sleep during the day.

Come morning I made a few phone calls to give a couple of my co-workers across the street a hard time then checked in with some friends- who were as surprised to hear me as I was to be making the call.

"You can leave this afternoon," the doctor told me. "You are good enough to go home."

So home I went, walking in at around 4:30. I have now been home for about 28 hours, most of which were spent sleeping. Taking a walk down the hall. Not much else.

We'll see how it goes, but so far it is pretty much as expected. Which is good.
