12 Jun 08 - Surgery- (206 lbs) Arrived at the hospital at 0745.  My surgery was scheduled for 0945.  My time was pushed back an hour to 1045 and that extra hour was very difficult to endure.  When they were ready, they were ready.  Received a shot and remember being wheeled down the hall and that's all I remember until I woke up in recovery.  I was on my way home within two hours of waking up.  The rest of the day was pretty much a blur for me.  Sore like the dickens but it too soon is passing.  I actually went to work yesterday for a few hours and overdid a little too much.  Today I'm taking it easy, it's day 5 post op for me and I want to heal properly.  Liquid diet sucks!  I hate protein shakes and hope to never have one again after my recovery time.
