Well Folks I am 24 hours POST OP, and things are going great! Ok, so it feels like I was kicked in my left side by a horse (Hmm, since I've never been kicked by a horse, I'm guessing a bit). The staff kept me going, and I slept rasonably well last night except for on my left side. In the past hurs I drank 2 Capri Suns (which they gave me)and 2 16oz bottles of water. All bodily functions are normal, so I guess I just have to heal. Thanks for all the good wishes. Darrin
