ER done!

We're home! Everything went great, and I am feeling pretty good, so far. Still under the effects of the morphine, I am sure. I think we got about 30 eggs, so we are very happy about that. I am getting ready to spend the rest of the day in bed with my hubby! I will be back on later today to give the play-by-play! Oh, I had general anesthesia, with a little pre-op sedation, and it was fabulous!

Off to bed...be back later to post more and read/comment on your blogs!
