Appendix-less

Thank you all so much for your kind words of support, thoughts and prayers... it means so much to me!

I had my surgery last night at around 7:30pm and everything went smoothly, thank goodness!

Just 12 hours later I was up and walking around (laproscopic (sp?) surgery). My belly is still the size of Jupiter but gradually I'm passing more gas and burping.

I have cool pix of my former appendix and the cyst on my ovary that I will post once I break out of jail.

Docs needed to give me abx for the appendicitis (zozyn), so I've dedided to continue that with tobra for 2 weeks just because it's much tougher to clear mucus with my belly looking like I"m 8 months preggo. So I think I"ll be a bit more prone to infection so 2 weeks of abx it is!

Other than that, I'm super loopy on vicodin so I am seriously nodding off while writing this. I hope this post makes sense...if not, let me know and I'll try to (zzzzz) fix it. :)

Take care!
