HI Brigsby,

Congratulations! I am sure you're feeling relief and delight. Also, some impatience for healing? Makes perfect sense to me. 

For the photos, yes, it's weird. For a blog you select a button called "upload" as I recall and then find the file on your computer and select it. I'm typing now on my iPad so I can't be more specific. Hope this helps and, more, that you make a very fast recovery!

Heal well!  I'm incredibly curious, as I do have a potential second surgery for my hernia in my future and my go to nom is oranges, what is the thing with the oranges about?  How long before the surgery should one avoid?

Thanks Briannah (did I remember the spelling of your name right?)

In post op I asked for orange juice and she said bc of the acidity it's not a good idea with anastetic.  Last night approx 11 hours after I got out of surgery I had an orange and ginger ale ( I dont drink GA at all).. I only kept it down for about 45 minutes. My caregiver remembered what the nurse said about oranges. I forgot that interaction completely. 

I don't know about avoiding before surgery, but hope that helps

:)

Yes, you did.    I'm sorry it's complicated, but both Bree and Brianna were taken.  YOu're free to call me Bree though, it's easier to type!

I will definitely remember that, and thank you for the tip.  Part of my hernia repair from last summer ripped open again, so eventually I'm facing more surgery table time, and while right now i"m trying to lose more weight to increase the odds of success, I will definately remember this tip and appreciate you for sharing it!  *Hugs*   It's sad, because oranges are such lovely things giving them up for a little while sucks! 

How are you feeling now?  Is the healing process going smoothly?

Congrats on your boobies  

Congrats on the top surgery - no doubt it is a great feeling.  Sorry you still weren't able to share this with your family.   Maybe one day.....

If you need more help on uploading pix... let anyone of us know.  The new process is a little tricky at first... I think because it's so simple.  Once you do it, you'll ask yourself why you didn't figure it out before...
