Surgery went well

The surgery this morning went well, and they were able to do it robotic laporascopically. I am thankful for that as it means a slightly reduced recovery time compared to having it open.  Hopefully, I will get to go home on Wednesday sometime.  Resting is so much easier in your own house where they aren't coming in every hour or so to give medications or check vitals.  I'm actually feeling pretty good, but I don't want to jinx myself too much as day 2or 3 after surgery are normally more down days.

We did have a bit of unwanted excitement today.  My mom & I had left our actual bags in the trunk of her car so that they could be gotten once I was in a room.  The car was valeted, and nothing was inside the car to entice anyone.  When dad went down to get our things, only some of it was in the trunk.  Mom's c-pap machine was taken and my bag.  I can understand why they took mom's c-pap bag as it could be mistaken for a camera bag or something like that.  They are going to be disappointed with what it actually is, and they will definitely be disappointed with my clothes, medicines, toiletries, and make-up.   It isn't that any of my stuff was that expensive. It  will just be a hassle to try to replace them while recovering from surgery, and some of the things were originally paid for by health insurance so I don't know what will happen there.    At least things can be replaced, and there wasn't any damage to the car.

 I think my most recent pain medicine may be starting to kick in so I'm going to try to get to sleep before the next time that they come in to poke & prod, lol.

  2. A break-in! Those robbers will most certainly be surprised when they realize what they've stolen. How pointless and annoying. But it's very, very good news that you are well and recovering. Home is most certainly the best place to rest. ~Catherine
