My parents left on Saturday evening and I was sad to see them go...it was really a relief to have them around for the procedure and nice to have people around to care for me! As I mentioned before, the procedure went well and I was feeling pretty good on Friday morning when I blogged about it...in fact, maybe a little too good thanks to the medicine. By Saturday I was feeling like I'd done about 10,000 crunches too many! If you want to know what this procedure feels like, go ahead...try it! ha!
I did find out why my recovery wasn't as bad as I've heard it could be, though...my doctor (Dr. Purloe) used a device which apparently heats and moisturizes the CO2 and it dramatically reduces postop discomfort. I'll say! If any of you are going to do this in the future, I would recommend using a doctor that does this or changing doctors!

A couple pictures with my caretakers:
When we all (including the dogs) got incredibly stir-crazy from sitting around the house so much, we took the dogs to the park to get out some restless energy.
I tried to make it a photo opportunity but Tucker wasn't cooperating...he was determined to be in the picture and kept walking in front of the camera right after we hit "go" on the self-timer. Then DW couldn't get there in time because he had to reset it!
What? Don't you want me in it, too?
The dog butt shot:
He managed to get in it again!
Finally! Well sorta, we were all over it by now!
I love this picture of my Mom and Dad...it SO captures them. My Mom's sweetness and my Dad's total mischieviousness!
Dale and Donna
Finally, headed home with two whipped pups!
Thank you both for coming! It meant a lot to have you there and I love you SO MUCH! Don't worry, Mom, I've barely left the couch all day!

I'm glad to hear the recovery is going well! The dog butt shot is hilarious
WOW! You look SO much like your parents...not sure which one you look like more! Ahh...I am missing my parents now :)
I am so glad to hear you are recovering well. It isn't often people have a good recovery from these things!
It is cool your parents came. My mom offered and we told her it was alright we would be fine. However, I do wonder a little bit if Mr. Newlywed will be overwhelmed with caring for me for 6 weeks. We may end up calling her down here anyway!
I'm glad you are recovering well. After my little surgery last summer, my parents took great care of me too. I hope things go well after the surgery.
