Here is my stomach.

Me, first day after surgery.

Ryan and I in the pre- operation room.

These pictures are taken the day of surgery. I have an epidural in me at this time. The story is: I got the epidural in and felt wonderful, got more medication to knock me out. The next day I felt fine and was smiling and laughing... The next day I woke up and called mom at 5 AM, wanting her to come to the hospital. I was crying and in major pain...horrible pain. It felt like a sledgehammer was banging against my skull. It was a bad time. Go figure, the epidural had leaked slightly along my spine and moved it's way up to my head, thus giving me this headache. It took a day or two to get out of my body. They moved me to morphine drip the next day....I didn't take any of it but I did take tylenol. The following day they did the Oxycotin, and well, we know how that story goes... look lower for that explanation.
