It Is Done!

   It is 1:00am and I am wide awake and doing fine. I sat up on the edge of the bed and was able to sit there for several minutes and I have only used my morphine twice. The pain really is very manageable. It was good to sit up but I sure do wish they would give me something to drink or at least wash my mouth out. I am dry from my lips to my belly button. Two or three ice chips would be heaven right now. I slept most of the afternoon and evcning but now I am wide awake. My abdomen feels bruised like someone punched me in the gut and I have several gismos hooked up to me so it makes it difficult to move around. I still doze a bit and it is hard to type with this pulse-ox on my finger but I am getting by. I think I will take a nap now and get back on later. george
