Day 716 (Surgery day one)

My day started at 5am.  Went through the pre-surgery stuff, mostly talking as it turns out.  Then after a couple of hours of that it was time.  They took me in this really white room with lots of interesting machinery standing around and two or three nurses.  The knock-out guy starts giving me something and I respond that it's starting to get fuzzy and then they are talking to me saying everything went great.  I'm like WHAT it's over?  Sure enough it was an hour and a half later and I have no recollection of that time or what happened.  Weird and cool.

So went home later in the morning and then I could eat.

I had a ham sandwich with a small amount of potato salad (probably a couple of tablespoons worth).  I wanted to be careful and not over do it since I hadn't eaten other than the hamburger the night before for about 60hrs.

Later in the day I had an apple.  I also made a smoothie with mango and banana.

Dinner: Pot stickers and quinoa with sausage.

I'm not in a lot of pain ( took a pain pill during the day) but we'll see how tomorrow goes.
