Well I'm 29 hours post-op and although feeling pretty good, I have run into a few snags. First there was the double caths because I couldn't get myself to go normally. That was okay, but I bet without pain meds things would be different. My stomach is fairly swollen with gas and a little distension so there's a little extra pain. Also my blood pressure was getting low because I lost some blood during surgery. I had my gallbladder removed at the same time. Because of this I have needed some blood transfusions. It's really not the bad, it's just a lot more resting with waiting for Blood to come in. Also because of the extra pain meds and stuff I still have not been on any type of food. I don't mind that a lot but it would be nice to have flavored water.

all in all I am doing good and I'm still very glad I made this decision. I am more so putting these things down in OH so that others can know what types of things they can expect and not everything that does go on not as planned is NOT a crisis. For those that are coming up on their dates I wish the best for you all and smoothe sailing!!
