It's ALIVE!!!

Finally home from the hospital, and post-op. Surgery was on June 18, and I have to say I was sick as a dog for so many days, I honestly was wondering if I would have gone through with the sugery if I had known how bad it would be.

Nausea, couldn't keep anything down, not even an ice chip, couldn't get comfortable, BP 227/98, etc etc etc. Kidney damage from meds I was given that never should have been prescribed for me. Nurses who screwed up. (sigh). Thank God it's over. 

I'm home after five long horrendous days. Still weak as a kitten, can barely walk.

Gained 16 lbs in five days from IV fluids. 

So bloated it's hard to breathe when i'm laying down.

But it's over. It's over, and it should be better every day...at least that's what I'm hoping. 

Sorry it was so difficult!  Here's to Better and better each day!

Well aren't you just the poster child for Murphy's Law???  I'm sorry it was such a difficult time.  Things will get better and better every day and soon it will be a distant memory.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!  It's great to be home, isn't it?

Considering it all, you have such a positive attitude! I am so sorry you had such a rough time... praying for a quick recovery now that you are home!! Hopefully it will only get better from now on

I'm so sorry to read you had a tough start. Now you're home things will get better each day.

I see you're in NPR.. what hospital did your surgery? I lived in Tarpon for 10 years. My mom had her rny at mease in Clearwater.

Oh you poor thing! I hope you feel better very soon!

Praying for you like so many others did for me! It will get better. My start was rough like yours and my BP was very high as well (181/106). Trust them when they say it will get better!!

hugs!

thank you, Cyndi :)

Ugh...you poor thing!  Thank God you are home now and on the way to recovery.  You have definitely had to work hard from day one!  Here is hoping that the rest of your recovery is easy peasy...you deserve it!
