On my way

When you get up and walk around make sure you take a few minutes to go out back where the parking lot is. There are a few benches and sitting outside for a while made me feel like a real person again.
One thing on your way back, I would suggest to call the airline and get wheelchair assistance to your gate. I did not use it to get on the plane and they just brought me directly to seating near my gate. It was nice to not have to wait in a long TSA line and I went through right away. Also did you know that you can bring liquids through the TSA screening if you tell them they are medically necessary. They just a take an extra "sniffer" scan of them.

It certainly sounds like you are doing very well young lady. I hope it continues to go smoothly and that you have a great recovery. Wishing you a great and healthy new DS wife isn't necessary because I already know that is going to happen for you!

Oh, boy, I knew that was a bad idea! I wasn't high on anything so what's my excuse? LOL I did one but Yolanda's phone went dead in the middle so had to do it a second time and by then I was not wanting to do it at all. I think Cara's was much better!
OMG, BTDT and that hurts! I feel for you.
I found out how allergic I was to tape during my first back surgery. I was on my stomach and in order to keep the seal on the mask over my mouth/nose, the anesthesiologist decided to use regular tape in spite of my file reading "Latex/Tape allergy". Woke up to blisters and rash acoss my face which took over three weeks to heal. My surgeon ripped the anesthesiologist a new one in FRONT of his "trainees". (Was a teaching hospital).

OMG! I got contact dermatitis from the tape they used on me and I'm still suffering from it! Both hands and on 4 incisions and around my drain incision. Uugh!

Sorry @CarbJunkie73 You are clearly super-sensitive to adhesives so be careful in the future.
Curiously I did not have a reaction around incisions. Heplock in hand had the square clear tape cover (this probably has a name but I don;t know what it is) and I didn;t have a fraction to that either. The bloody stripes -- which I think were when they ripped of well-adhered tape on my super-sensitive face -- turned to stripes of thick brown scabs by the time I got on the airplane.

Why did they have tape on your face?
