I can't believe it has really happened. I am still in Tijuana, Mexico at the Pueblo Amigo Hotel. I flew into the San Diego airport where my friend met me via train (she had unexpected neck surgery the week before). The first thing she said to me when I got of the plane was: "I am going to need to go home." I tried to act okay with it but I did get emotional. She decided to just go to the hotel and see how things went. She ended up leaving the day of my surgery. She was not able to see me afterwards. I want her to take care of her own health of course it was just lousy timing. However, I am here and I am not completey alone because I booked a package deal through this overall really great company with a great set of bilingual drs and nurses and valets to take me wherever I need to go. The other patients here have been kind as well. I do miss my friend and I am a little lonely. I go home on Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing my mom and cat.
The surgery went really well. It took an hour. The liquid they give you in TJ for the leak test was not bad at all. The first day was the worst but I am doing much better today. Swallowing has been fine for me and I don't have a sore throat. I don't have any regrets. So far so good! When I woke up from surgery I actually asked them if I had the surgery! I am so glad this is behind me! Thanks for all of your support in asking my questions. I look forward to being there for others!
