You got luck on that one. I was worried that you'd have to deal with that hospital food...starch, starch and more starch

 

[jenscats5]

are you in and out the day of surgery or do you have to stay in the hospital?

In and out.........got to be there at 5:30am....surgery is at 7:30am....1 hour for surgery, hang out in recovery.....I'd say (based on my friends who've had the same surgery) that I'll be home by 12:00/1:00pm.....
