I'm out of surgery!

Surgery went well I guess. I'm in post op eating graham crackers and drinking apple juice.

How crazy. I can't believe I had emergency surgery today! And, of course, I blogged about it. Since I came from the ER, I had my stuff with me so I had my phone.

Going to relax now. Hope your day is nothing like mine!
