1 1/2 days post-op

[Guest guest]

My daughter (Trina) is still doing great! She had a good first night

home, the pain being no problem. She didn't even need to take any

pain meds. at all through the night. She slept in a semi-upright

position in my recliner. Her bands had all popped off (well, all but

one) and I think it was the laughing episode in the hospital that did

it! Her plate shifted a bit in her mouth, so the Dr. had her come in

this morning to get re-banded and the plate straightened up. They

(my wife and her)just called from her cell phone and said that while

they were in town at the Dr.'s office, they might just as well go to

Wall-Mart to pick a few things up. A 5 hour surgery can't keep good

women from shopping 40 hours later! So....overall, she's doing most

awesome! Those of you with dates forthcoming, this isn't nearly as

tough as we feared. 3rd day into it and all's well!

Bravo! You must have one heck of a daughter. I'm not talking about

the no pain meds right now (although that is wonderful). I'm talking

about braving Walmart so soon after surgery!! I didn't do that til

10 days & I went protesting the whole way!

Glad things are going so well for her.

It is so wonderful that Trina is doing sooooo well. It's a sign (grin)

for your family that all is working out so well... Careful, a couple of

thngs turns into a full cart.. well with me it does lol I hope I do so
