I am home after spending 2 nights in the hospital. I did it again - scheduled elective surgery for a few days before Christmas! This time it was a bit more extensive - a hysterectomy.
I stressed about the worst case scenario, but everything went better than expected, and I'm actually feeling better than I anticipated after sleeping in my own bed last night, and getting a shower. I just have a strangely poochy belly, and walk a little more slowly than I'm used to.
I stayed on the Labor & Delivery floor, so my walks every couple of hours took me past the nursery, where I could see lots of tiny toes & noses. I'm so glad that I did not bring a baby home this time - I'm long past that point in my life!
Once again, I worked really hard to have everything done ahead of time, so I have just been sitting back, watching Christmas movies, and sipping hot tea. Unfortunately, the dirty clothes hampers that I emptied out right before surgery, filled up again while I was away. We are slowly working through that as well.
We are expecting snow tonight, which should make Christmas day even more perfect!
