I almost titled this one “The Morning After,” but then I realized that has a connotation that definitely does not apply here! I have been in contact directly with Janel and she seems to be in good spirits. She’s feeling better than she expected to, which is great! Guessing it might be from the epidural and pain meds, but hey…whatever works, right? She is a bit sore and still having some bouts of nausea, but she’s able to sit up in a chair…which seems to me to be a great sign, less than 24 hours after major abdominal surgery. There’s even some talk of moving our girl to a regular room later today, if one is available.
