A BIG CONGRATS KATHY! I figured it was the post op pain that kept you under the radar. Mine was absolutely excruciating with my 3 levels. No morphine pump could touch it. I'm glad you are at least at the hotel now. Off to slumber land for you. We will help you with this experience, to normalize it for you, bye and bye. So rest for now. That is your most important job. And pain management is up there at the top too. Stay ahead of it for sure. Look forward to hearing from you again soon!
God Bless,
Cindy
