It is Tuesday morning. Vonnie says she slept well considering they kept waking her up. Her doctor came in at 6am followed by an assistant of the plastic surgeon at 6:30 and the plastic surgeon soon after that. She has "minimal" pain (3 on a scale of 10) although she hasn't been out of bed yet. So far acetaminophen has been sufficient. Her doctor says she needs to keep on top of the pain and still wants her to take something stronger. We figure that she wants Vonnie to feel like she can be up and around and that would require stronger pain meds so she stays active.
Breakfast came at 8:30am. Boy was she ready for that! She hadn't had anything since Sunday supper. The plan is discharge whenever she feels she is ready. She is currently thinking about going home mid-afternoon. They say she can as long as she tolerates her lunch.

Good morning....sounds like things went as well as can be expected.....now the waiting!! You're in our thoughts all the time...hang in there and this too will become one of life's bridges you successfully crossed. Love you..Steve and Kris
Praising God with you this morning that the surgery went exactly as planned--no surprises is a good thing! Praying also for an uneventful recovery--that our Heavenly Father--the great physician--brings healing to your body and to those raw emotions. Vonnie, may you feel stronger with each day. God's grace and peace to you in this time of waiting. Thoughts and prayers continue! Pat Buist
Wow!! God is GREAT!!
I'm glad to hear you're doing well. And....already ready to go home. But,then again, "there's no place like home."
Don't be afraid to take meds that are a little stonger though, you'll be able to be-up-and-a-around, stay a little more active and experience less discomfort in the meantime.
God is so good and my prayers are still prayed.
Sharon
