Cara's New Life

Cara just came home from the hospital from having her gastric bypass surgery. The surgery went very well. The doctor said it would take from 2 1/2 to 4 hours, and hers took between 2 1/2 and 3 hours. No complications, everything went well. The rest of that first day went as could be expected - She slept most of the day and had some minor pain, but not from the surgical sites. The next day, though, she was back to her old self. She was walking laps around the floor, talking to everyone she saw, both patients and employees. Today, she was tired again, and said that this was how she expected to feel the first day. However, everything is progressing well, and she came home this afternoon. Now she's just resting and getting used to her new diet of clear liquids, and the psychological part of losing the weight.
