Update...2 weeks post op

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your prayers and support.  My surgery went well, they said there were no surprises.  I spent 5 nights in the hospital (Emory in Atlanta) and they were just wonderful.  
The recovery is going ok, I suppose.  Definitely painful (thank God for meds) and I have some good days and some not so good ones.  I guess its normal.  I go to get the stiches out on Fri.
I'll try to update this more later.  I don't get downstairs to the computer very often.

So glad to hear that you came through everything ok!!

The experience of surgery was the most painful thing I have ever experienced (I've had 3 csections) and I was not prepared for that. The good thing is that it does get better week by week!

The best thing is to rest so that you don't trigger any extra discomfort.

Take care of yourself and update us when you can!
