I have been spayed, and it was the single incision and OMG modern science. But. Norovirus left behind dangerously low potassium levels: normal is 3.5 to 5.5 and mine was 2.3 this morning. So they hospitalized me for that, not for anything related to the surgery. At least I found out that hospital beds have USB chargers now. And that my phone will automatically airbrush my mf selfies 😜🤦♀️
@publickovacs Looking good!💖
@publickovacs It’s so so good to hear from you and that the surgery went as expected. Rest now Mel. 💜💜
@CherNohio
Thank you - working on doing much of nothing for the next little bit except rest and heal 🧡
@Wbtphdjd
That is indeed hospital food. I am in Kansas City MO in the St Luke's system, at their central hospital and cancer institute
@publickovacs , good to see you Fierce One! Looks like you're already making huge steps forward in recovery. 🤗🥰
@LadyZurk
Thank you 🧡
@publickovacs
Hugs from a little farther west on I70! 🤗
@HopeSeeker
Aw thank you 🧡
@publickovacs you’ve got this. I hope you can get some sleep and be out of there soon. Sending you good vibes.
@WendyForbes
Thank you 🧡
If potassium improves, I will leave before lunch tomorrow
@publickovacs USB chargers, that’s pretty fancy!
glad you are on the other side of this. glad they seem to be taking good care of you.
@peeppeepcircus
Thank you 🧡
Oh Mel SO good to see you on the other side of this part of your journey 💜
Lots of love and peace and healing wishes
@Minholkin
Thank you kindly 🧡
@publickovacs happy things went well. 🙂
@Novels56
Thank you 🧡
@publickovacs I'm happy to see that you're checking in and that the surgery went as planned with no complications. Small incision surgery is truly a wonder of science and medical progress! And ain't you fancy with your bed-mounted USB thing! Glad that you posted the pic, you look good! I know better than to expect too much from hospital food, but at least it looks good enough to eat! Rest up and be well. Hope that you're paroled tomorrow.🤞 💛
@publickovacs Spayed. *snort* 
How ya feeling post op?
💙
@Jezibaba
Like I have been disemboweled. Oh wait ... 😜🤣 I go between mildly sore and excruciating fairly quickly, back and forth
@publickovacs Hopefully you're given decent pain management for when you're home.
Have you been released yet?
@Jezibaba
As of Tuesday evening. And I have an effing schedule for Gabapentin and Flexeril, so I am woozy as all get out. Staying away from the Oxy that was given for "as needed".
@publickovacs @Jezibaba I will take your oxy for you. In moderation.
@publickovacs @Jezibaba to be sure it's safe of course.
@publickovacs @Jezibaba I didn't plan on sharing.
@publickovacs I was concerned they'd send you home to suffer without pain management.
💙💙💙
@Jezibaba
Oh no, they were very careful and diligent. Consequently, I will be spending most of the next two weeks asleep - but that suits me just fine.
@publickovacs meow 😻 may you heal quickly in that case. 💙
@Jezibaba
Thank you 🧡
Psychic hugs coming your way.
🫂
Just going to leave this here:
Thank you so much 🧡
Your hospital meal looks delish! A heck of a lot better than what I had last summer (2022) when I was hospitalized for COVID.
Aaaand, also, So happy to see and hear from you! How long will you be hanging out in the hospital?
@see_the_sus
If potassium improves sufficiently, I will be released midday Tuesday
@publickovacs cool!
