Surgery Update

The cerclage surgery was yesterday and it went well. My doctor said he "felt good about it" so here's to hoping I am waddling around still in May! I went under general anesthesia and the good thing was it was quick and I was back at home in just a couple of hours. Bad news is that it did a number on my body... I have been under anesthesia before and had the spinal epidural when I had Jake and never had a bad reaction to any of that. This time was just a tad different - actually, I have never been so sick before in my life. Luckily that only lasted about 12 hours and I have a bit of an appetite back today. The worst part about today is being so sore that I can barely move -- not from the surgery mind you, but from the anesthesia's aftermath. I am sure you can imagine why. Plus the tube they put down my throat when I was under the anesthesia did a number on making my throat and neck sore. But enough of that! Baby is good, I am good, and resting comfortably at home. I am on bed rest for a week but am able to work from home and have family helping out with Jakers. It goes without saying, but I am very appreciative of all of the texts and phone calls that I have gotten to wish me well and offering to help. It never ceases to amaze me that I have such a tremendous support network. I don't know what I would do without that!
